Cultural competence education for health professionals.
CONCLUSIONS: Cultural competence continues to be developed as a major strategy to address health disparities. Five studies assessed the effects of cultural competence education for health professionals on patient-related outcomes. There was positive, albeit low-quality evidence, showing improvements in the involvement of CALD patients. Findings either showed support for the educational interventions or no evidence of effect. No studies assessed adverse outcomes. The quality of evidence is insufficient to draw generalisable conclusions, largely due to heterogeneity of the interventions in content, scope, design, duration, i...

Management of Fecal Incontinence in Older People With Dementia Resident in Care Homes: A Realist Synthesis —The FINCH Study
Many nursing homes provide continuing care and support for older people with dementia.1 Care home residents may have three or more health conditions, with an estimated 80% in the United Kingdom having dementia without a confirmed or documented diagnosis, up to a third of whom may be at an advanced stage.2,3 In this editorial the term care home is used and includes registered homes providing nursing, social, and/or continuing aged care. Advanced dementia is variably defined but usually includes complete loss of memory and recognition, severe dependency for activities of daily living (such as bathing, dressing, toileting, an...

Survey: Most Oncologists Discuss Medical Marijuana with Cancer Patients
Medical marijuana continues to be a hot topic among mesothelioma patients and a popular way to cope with disease symptoms and treatment side effects.
As more states legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, more cancer patients are asking their doctors about the natural therapy. A recent survey published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology shows as many as 80 percent of oncologists talk about medical marijuana with their patients.
Of the 237 oncologists who responded to the survey, more than half (55 percent) practice in one of the 28 states where medical marijuana is legal.
Questions on the survey covered recommendations...

Comparison of Placebo Effect between Asian and Caucasian Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Meta-Analysis.
Conclusions: The overall differences of the placebo effect on HbA1c changes as well as on body weight changes were not significant between Asian and Caucasian T2DM patients. The placebo effect on HbA1c changes and weight changes was not associated with baseline age, gender, baseline body mass index, baseline HbA1c, duration of diabetes, or study duration.

The association of obesity with eating disorders risk: online survey of a large cohort of Russian-speaking individuals seeking medical weight correction assistance
ConclusionsIn a large cohort of individuals seeking medical weight correction assistance, the risk of obesity was associated with the higher EAT-26 scores, age, and sex. Moreover, different eating disorder risk profiles were associated with obesity in men and women. Higher oral control subscale score was associated with decreased risk of obesity in women, but with higher risk in men. Older age was a shared obesity risk factor for both sexes. Therefore, the use of EAT-26 would facilitate individual diagnostic assessment for specific eating disorders in different sub-cohorts. Further assessment of separate EAT-26 subscales m...

1534p * nutritional support in cancer-survey results identify a need for more education
Conclusions: In current oncology practice, weight loss appears to be measured routinely and the requirement for weight loss-triggered cancer treatment adjustment is recognised. However, there is a need for more education on supportive nutritional care in the management of cancer-related weight loss in the chemo/radiotherapy and perioperative setting.Disclosure: N.

Weight loss in middle age: A warning sign of dementia?
ConclusionThis study has investigated the association between weight change in midlife and the risk of MCI in older age. The study found that participants who developed MCI in later life experienced a slightly greater weight loss per decade in middle age than those who did not. This effect was seen in the group as a whole and for men, but was not significant for women. The main thing to note is that the researchers are not trying to blame the weight change itself on the increased risk of MCI, just that it could be a marker. The researchers suggest that weight loss may have been due to what is called the "anorexia of a...

Long-term effect of simplified dietary education on the nutritional status of patients after a gastrectomy
This study aimed to investigate the effect of simplified dietary education on the nu tritional status of patients after a gastrectomy. A total of 1,150 patients with gastric cancer underwent surgery between March 2014 and October 2015 at the Samsung Medical Center (SMC). Of these, we used the case-control matching method (1:1 match) by stratifying the factors of age and sex and incl uded 100 patients in each group. The clinicopathologic data of the patients for two years after the gastrectomy were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. The educated group (ED, N = 100) was provided with a simplified, ordinary...
