Following a sound protocol for both the study and the reporting is recommended, and future studies should focus more on costs and effectiveness of different models of care administered by advanced practice nurses. Effectiveness of nurse-led clinics needs further evaluation with stronger trials and wider focus on nursing-sensitive clinical outcomes and costs.
The results support the effectiveness of nurse-led clinics in improving self-reported responses such as distress levels, satisfaction, quality of life, depressive symptoms, concerns and vomiting among cancer patients.

Therefore, it is crucial to pay close attention to the position and geometry of mounted nanoneedle when deriving the mathematical model. During TR-AFM fabrication process, the nanoneedle may not always deposit precisely at the middle of AFM tip, which would result in coupled bending-torsion modes in the dynamical operation of system. In this paper, we investigate the effect of eccentric nanoneedle in dynamic response of TR-AFM. To address this issue, a continuous mathematical model is developed. This model accounts for eccentric nanoneedle which can address the couplings in nonlinear vibration. Hamilton's principle is used to derive equations of motion and then assumed mode method (AMM) is utilized. This model is capable of simulating the cantilever dynamics under complicated nanoneedle tip-sample interactions. Displacements of different components of system for various eccentricity are determined. It is found that nanoneedle eccentricity has noticeable effects on microbeam torsion angle and out of plane nanoneedle tip displacement.
Despite curative surgery, 25% of patients with Stage II colorectal cancer will relapse due to minimal residual disease (MRD). Markers of immune function, such as the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), may be associated with MRD defined by bone marrow micro-metastasis (mM) and circulating tumour cells (CTCs).
A prospective cohort study of consecutive patients with Stage II colon cancer patients attended at a single centre between 2007 and 2014. Blood and bone marrow samples were taken to detect CTCs and mM using immunocytochemistry with anti-carcinoembryonic antigen 1 month after surgery. The NLR and absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were determined immediately pre-surgery and 1 month post-surgery. These were compared with the sub-types of MRD group I MRD(-); group II mM positive and group III CTC positive. Cut-off values of the NLR of >3.0 and >5.0 were used. Follow-up was for up to 5 years or relapse and disease-free survival (DFS) was calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
In all, 181 patients (99 women) participated. Mean age was 68 years. Median follow-up was 4.04 years I, N = 105; II, N = 36; III, N = 40. The NLR significantly decreased post-surgery only in group I patients. The frequency of NLR >3.0 and >5.0 was significantly higher in group III; between groups I and II there was no significant difference. 5-year DFS was 98% in group I, 68% in group II and 7% in group III.
Patients with a significantly higher immune dysfunction had a shorter time to disease progression, a worse DFS and the presence of CTCs.

Assess the association and predictive value of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), body composition, and bone mineral density (BMD) in haemodialysis (HD) patients.
Laboratory data, body composition parameters measured via body composition monitor, and radius, lumbar spine, femoral neck BMD measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry were assessed in all subjects on HD or online haemodiafiltration (HDF) at baseline. Regression analysis for GNRI, Cox proportional hazard analyses and comparison of multiple receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed.
Among all 264 patients, age was 65 ± 12 years and dialysis vintage was 79 (39-144) months. GNRI tertile (T)1, T2, and T3 were 88 (85-91), 94 (93-95), and 98 (97-101), respectively. Patients in GNRI T1 had lower fat tissue index (FTI), lean tissue index, and femoral neck, lumbar spine, and distal mid-third radius BMD, but higher overhydration/extracellular fluid than patients in GNRI T2 or T3 (P < .05). GNRI was significantly associated with FTI, lean tissue index, and femoral neck, lumbar spine, and distal mid-third radius BMD (P < .01). GNRI was a significant predictor of 2-year all-cause mortality (HR 0.92, P < .05). Area under the ROC curve for all-cause mortality using traditional risk factors (age, sex, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, use of vasopressors for dialysis-related hypotension, and C-reactive protein) was 0.67 and changed by adding GNRI (0.78, P < .05), FTI (0.75), or femoral neck BMD (0.66), respectively.
Associations between GNRI, body composition, and BMD were confirmed in HD patients. Combining GNRI with traditional risk factors improved mortality prediction in HD patients.

Traditionally, strong subwavelength trapping of light was associated only with plasmonic or epsilon-near-zero structures, which however suffer from material losses. Recently, an alternative localization mechanism was proposed allowing the trapping of light in individual subwavelength optical resonators with a high quality factor in the regime of a supercavity mode. Here, the experimental observation of the supercavity modes in subwavelength ceramic resonators in the radio-frequency range is presented. N6F11 It is experimentally demonstrated that the regime of supercavity modes can be achieved via precise tuning of the resonator's dimensions. A huge growth of the unloaded quality factor is achieved with experimental values up to 1.25 × 104 , limited only by material losses of ceramics. It is revealed that the supercavity modes can be excited efficiently both in the near- and far-field.
