Disparities in Comorbidities in Lung Cancer: Findings From the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Conclusion
Findings show that there may be differences in patterns of comorbidities among individuals with lung cancer.

Take Care of Your Heart
February is American Heart Month, and since I am writing this in February, I decided it was time to focus on heart health. Cardiovascular disease (CVD; heart disease and stroke) results in 17.9 million deaths each year and is the leading cause of death globally.1 The number of global deaths is expected to increase to 23.6 million by 2030.1 Of particular interest to our female readers, heart disease kills more women each year than all forms of cancer combined. But nearly 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes.

What Is the Impact of Targeted Health Education for Mental Health Nurses in the Provision of Physical Health Care? An Integrated Literature Review.
Authors: Hennessy S, Cocoman AM

The literature identifies a lack of nursing knowledge related to physical health care and the presence of metabolic syndrome which is impeding nurses in providing essential physical health care to patients. An integrated literature review was carried out due to the dearth of research evidence...

Parastomal hernia and physical activity. Are patients getting the right advice?
This article draws on a large nationwide survey (2631 respondents) that investigated the physical health and wellbeing of people living with stomas in the UK. It specifically considers the findings relating to parastomal hernia (where additional loops of bowel protrude through the abdominal wall around the stoma, creating a bulge). In this survey, 26% of respondents reported that they had a medically diagnosed parastomal hernia, which is below average when compared with other estimates. The impact of parastomal hernia on physical activity levels was the most significant finding: 32% of those with a medically diagnosed hern...

Pain: a content review of undergraduate pre-registration nurse education in the United Kingdom
Pain is a global health issue with poor assessment and management of pain associated with serious disability and detrimental socio economic consequences. Pain is also a closely associated symptom of the three major causes of death in the developed world; Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke and Cancer. There is a significant body of work which indicates that current nursing practice has failed to address pain as a priority, resulting in poor practice and unnecessary patient suffering.Additionally nurse education appears to lack focus or emphasis on the importance of pain assessment and its management.
