Pancreatic Cancer: Rapid Evidence Review
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Mar;109(3):245-250.ABSTRACTPancreatic cancer is relatively uncommon and carries a poor prognosis because patients often develop signs or symptoms at a late stage of illness. Patients with a family history, especially those with genetic syndromes, are at a significantly increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Modifiable risk factors include smoking, heavy alcohol use, and obesity. Although patients at increased risk should be screened, screening is not recommended for asymptomatic people at average risk. The differential diagnosis for a symptomatic patient is broad, including gastroesophageal reflux dise...

Pelvic floor muscle training patient reported Outcome Measures (PROM) (PFMT-P): Turkish adaptation and its validity and relibiality
Pelvic floor muscles play an important role in supporting the pelvic organs and maintaining urinary and faecal continence [1]. Conditions that cause chronically increased intra-abdominal pressure such as aging, previous pelvic surgery, pregnancy, parity, vaginal birth, obesity, respiratory tract diseases, and constipation and high-effect exercises are risk factors for the development of dysfunction in pelvic floor muscles [2 –6]. Development of dysfunction in pelvic floor muscles negatively affect life quality in approximately 25 % of adult women by leading to a wide range of problems such as urinary and anal incontine...

Stoma care and diet in the community
This article describes some basic facts about stoma as well as specialist dietary considerations; which can be used to improve symptoms such as constipation as well as how to prevent issues such as a food bolus obstruction. An increased understanding of stoma-related dietary needs among community nurses will likely improve care outcomes, as they will feel more equipped to offer tailored guidance and support.PMID:38564441 | DOI:10.12968/bjcn.2024.29.4.195 (Source: British Journal of Community Nursing)
