Описание: Bone metastases are a common event for cancer patients. We have developed an innovative and unique clinical research program dedicated to palliative radiation oncology at the Odette Cancer Centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and specifically a multidisciplinary clinic for bone metastases. The development of this program introduces an effective strategy to conduct research in palliative radiation oncology. Symptom control is very important for the quality of life for bone and brain metastases patients. This is an evolving active field of research as greater emphasis is being placed into understanding the goals of improving not only a patients survival, but the ability for therapies to improve the quality of a patients life. In this book we present the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, which was used in a multi-center study with patients recruited from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Kerala, India; Nicosia, Cyprus; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Taipei, Taiwan; Tanta, Egypt; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with brain and bone metastases. It was found that the difficulties bone and brain metastases patients experience are different in several ways. Patients with bone metastases have more pain and reduced physical functioning. However, patients with brain metastases have more severe role functioning deficits. With use of the QLQ-C30, it was also found that there is ambiguity regarding the root of patient issues. Future studies that require more comprehensive disease-specific findings should include disease-specific assessment modules such as the QLQ-BM22 and QLQ-BN20. Important domains such as the minimal clinically important difference should also be established in individual subgroups of patients to assist in clinical trial design.

Описание: A book about what's not working in Canadian health care institutions and how to fix it

Drawing on 40 years running many Canadian health care institutions, David Levine shares his experience on how to manage in this very complex environment. His career includes implementing one of the first Local Community Health Centres (CLSCs) in Montreal in the 1970s, involvement in electoral politics, managing various Qu bec hospitals, his controversial hiring as head of the Ottawa Hospital, a term as Qu bec Delegate General in New York City, a stint as junior minister of health in Qu bec, and running the Montreal regional health authority under both Parti-Qu b cois and Liberal governments. His experience with politics--both personal and professional--is the basis of his analysis of the impact of politics on health care. Levine supports without qualification a public, universal health care system, but he questions the effectiveness of managing the system from the Minister's Office. Poor decision-making on the basis of politics often means best solutions are not implemented. Levine's analysis includes what is not working and how to fix it, and the barriers to implementation. Health Care and Politics will be of interest to health care managers, health care policymakers, and all Canadians seeking a better understanding of the health care system and what it will take to fix it.
