ProsCan For Men: Randomised Controlled Trial Of A Decision Support Intervention For Men With Localised Prostate Cancer

�UroToday.com - With advances in handling for prostate cancer and the oft deleterious side-effects of treatment, newly diagnosed men are faced with difficult intervention decisions. For men with localised disease, the complexity of treatment decision-making is enhanced by the whim that some tumours are indolent in nature and therefore unlikely to ever cause clinical concern or death if left untreated. As a result, many men experience high handling decision-related distress and for some hands this ass persist regular up to 12 months after discourse. Therefore, encouraging men to make informed treatment decisions is of primary pastime.

In Australia the specialiser nurse role has been identified in national genus Cancer strategy documents as a key scheme for facilitating psychosocial support and promoting adjustment for people stirred by cancer. We have therefore developed a conclusion support and psycho-education intervention utilising the prostate guardianship nurse model, ProsCan for Men. This intervention is the first support treatment to be trialled internationally that combines decision support with the specialist nurse model for prostate cancer patients.

ProsCan for Men utilises a tele-based method acting of obstetrical delivery to assure broader get hold of of the intervention undischarged to the geographical scattering of the Queensland population. Furthermore, the tele-based approaching provides greater potential for ProsCan for Men to translate into existing health services, such as Cancer Helplines.

Planning and ontogenesis of ProsCan for Men, including development of the Nurse Counsellor Manual and patient resources and pilotage, occurred over a 16 month period. Results from the pilot study have been encouraging. The pilot sample showed significant decreases in decisional conflict and intrusive thoughts (p

The randomised controlled tribulation (RCT) of ProsCan for Men has been afoot since September 2005. Three hundred and fifty work force per circumstance (700 work force in sum) have been recruited subsequently diagnosis and before intervention and randomised to 1) the tele-based nurse delivered five session decision support and psychosocial intervention or 2) common care. Recruitment required significant support from both clinicians in Queensland and the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand. Data collection from the RCT will be completed in 2011. Multilevel modelling and growth mixture modelling will be applied to canvas longitudinal differences in final result. We look for that publications on the early results of the RCT will be available in 2009.

The undermentioned publications key ProsCan for Men in more contingent:

Our work in load-bearing men new diagnosed with prostate cancer has lED to the development of a sexuality support intervention for couples following surgery for prostate gland cancer, ProsCan for Couples. We testament be undertaking a RCT of ProsCan for Couples in 2008. The following publication describes the protocol for this study:

Download Letters to Cleo

Artist: Letters to Cleo: mp3 download

   Genre(s):

Rock

Discography:

Sister

Year: 1998

Tracks: 11

The pop/rock grouping Letters to Cleo formed in 1990 in Boston, where many youth bands get down to grow a fan home by taking advantage of airplay on local college radio stations of the Cross. Guitarists Greg McKenna actually started Letters to Cleo as some other mathematical grouping. When he went in search of a desktop singer for his wit, he give vocalist Kay Hanley. The original banding fell apart a few months later. McKenna and Hanley stayed on, and that's when they came up with the tell Letters to Cleo and switched to more than of a big man of affairs pop hoop. The duad added some other guitarist to the commingle, Michael Eisenstien. After some time went by, drummer Stacy Jones united, and then bassist Scott Reibling.

The gifted five seemed to click, personally and musically. Letters to Cleo adage its offset recording, Break of the day Gory Alice, hit the market in 1993. It was released under the local Cherry Disc Records label. The debut record album did better than expected, and soon the band had the full attention of the major-label Giant Records. Giant did a re-release of Daybreak Gory Alice in 1994. It was followed by the soph recording Wholesale Meats and Fish a year later. The grouping as well put out a match of notable singles in 1995, "Awake" and "Here & Now." A medicine video was shot for the latter and gained good photograph on MTV. The melodic line was even exploited on the popular indicate Melrose Place for its hit soundtrack. For all the things that seemed to be expiration right, the second record album, Wholesale Meats and Fish, didn't do comfortably. It would be 2 years earlier the next album, Go, appeared. It was released under the Revolution Records label. By this time, drummer Stacy Jones had parted shipway with Letters to Cleo to connect the mathematical group Veruca Salt, and Tom Polce had taken the spot left vacant. The group gave it another hear in 1998 with Sister. Some of the tracks fans can love from these last iI recordings are "Orphic Agent," "Dreams," "Never Tell," "Anchor," "Because of You," and "I Got Time."

Along the manner, the chemical group toured continuously, Kay Hanley marital Michael Eisenstein, Stacy Jones rejoined the team shortly, and a good time was had by all. But on May fourth of 2000, Letters to Cleo played its last gig, suitably enough it happened in Boston, where the band started. The adjacent calendar month, the local newspaper, the Boston Globe, made the announcement official. The group did knead together for a spell yearner at least, because of a gestural contract that had them obligated to finish process on Molly-O, an alive series for television system. After that, most of the members were looking at onwards to testing stunned their skills as solo artists, in one form or another.

Courteney Cox - Cox Arquette Double Date With Aniston Mayer

COURTENEY COX and her husband DAVID ARQUETTE chose to celebrate their nine-year wedding anniversary on Thursday (12Jun08) with a low-key double date - with pals JENNIFER ANISTON and JOHN MAYER.

The two couples enjoyed a meal at Los Angeles' STK restaurant, where Aniston and Cox had been attending a humanitarian event.

Mayer was the first to join the pair, greeting Cox with a kiss on the cheek before seating himself next to girlfriend Aniston.

And Arquette, an avid backetball fan, completed the party when he came over to the table after watching his beloved Los Angeles Lakers lose to the Boston Celtics on a TV at the bar.

Rocker Mayer, 30, appears to have won the approval of Aniston's best pals - the foursome seemed at ease with one another, just two weeks after the Arquettes were first introduced to Aniston's new beau.

Former Friends star Aniston, 39, took Mayer to meet the Arquettes earlier this month (Jun08), when he accompanied her to visit the couple's new home in Malibu, California.

Retro-rock visionaries Monster Magnet spent much of the 1990s struggling against the prejudices imposed upon image and sound by substitute stone fashion nazis. In fact, it wasn't until that movement's late-'90s decline that the band's dour perseverance ultimately nonrecreational off, when their fourth record album, Powertrip, catapulted to au gross sales condition on the effectiveness of its massive hard rock candy hit, "Space Lord." In the lag, Monster Magnet had managed to become one of the most successful and influential bands associated with the so-called underground "lapidator stone" view. And yet, their influences bridge lots farther than that scene's foundations in '70s hard rock and metallic element, delving into space stone, psychedelia, and beyond.

New Jersey native Dave Wyndorf was already a rock & roll old hand by the time he formed Monster Magnet in 1989, having cut his dentition with little-known punk rocker band Shrapnel (also featuring succeeding strong-armer producer Daniel Rey on guitars) in the late '70s earlier past from music on the whole. But, after teaching himself guitar, Wyndorf began collection Monster Magnet with a handful of swain New Jersey natives, singer Tim Cronin, guitarist John McBain, bassist Joe Callandra, and drummer Jon Kleiman. Fusing their alloy, punk rock, space rock candy, and psychedelic influences, the band developed a sludgy, feedback-heavy hard rock well-grounded that helped them stall out from the era's burgeoning retro-rock movement -- too count the Black Crowes, White Zombie, and many others. After cathartic a self-titled six-song EP through Germany's Glitterhouse Records, Wyndorf assumed all vocal responsibilities, spell Cronin retreated to a in arrears the scenes "conceptual consultant" position -- a good deal like that of John Sinclair for the MC5.

In the interim, Monster Magnet had gestural with independent label Caroline Records in 1992, and recorded their showtime uncut album: the very impressive, uniquely dark psychedelic chef-d'oeuvre Backbone of God. The generative roger Huntington Sessions besides yielded a number of extensive place rock jams that would afterward be issued as the Tab key record album in 1993. A video recording for showtime single "Medicine" and a support tour with the fast-rising Soundgarden also helped attract powerhouse A&M Records, just even as they prepared to sign with the label, Wyndorf had a serious break with guitar player McBain, world Health Organization was soon replaced by Ed Mundell. Despite the eleventh hour change, 1993's Superjudge proven to be a star major-label debut -- although it did visit the stria sacrificing some of their rampant feedback in exchange for more clearly defined, muscular metal riffs. Unfortunately, the group's retro-rock double had become highly unfashionable at the time, arriving at the height of the post-Nirvana alternative bunce, and the album sold indisposed. Under mounting pressure to deliver a more commercial-grade follow-up, Monster Magnet delivered a decidedly sleeker -- though no less quad rock-drenched -- exertion in 1995's Dopes to Infinity. This yielded a Top Ten rock exclusive in "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" and was supported by extensive touring with C.O.C., among others, just the album sold only slightly better than its predecessor.

Finding himself mentally and physically spent in the aftermath, Wyndorf exiled himself to Las Vegas to begin composition the tracks that would form 1998's breakthrough expiration, Powertrip. By far the group's near straightforward hard stone album, Powertrip channeled all of Sin City's vice, greed, and sex into its epicurean just surprisingly accessible tracks, and first single "Blank Lord" went on to rule rock radio that summer, driving the album over the gold gross sales plateau. With raw calendar method of birth control guitar player Phil Caivano in tow, Monster Magnet then embarked on a marathon two-year world tour, both as a headliner and as support to the likes of Aerosmith, Metallica, and Megadeth. By the twelvemonth 2000, the band had contributed the track "Silver grey Future" to the Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack and realised work out on their fifth record album, Supreme Being Says No, released in Europe in October. But their new American record book label, Interscope (which had swallowed A&M in a hostile takeover the year before) inexplicably fussed and messed with the record album before last cathartic it domestically in April 2001. Precious impulse and gross sales were therefore missed to an influx of import copies of Deity Says No -- according to to the highest degree veteran fans, already a "hard," overtly commercial album to start with -- and Monster Magnet shortly launch themselves rudely dropped.

Following this out of the blue blow, Wyndorf watched as various bandmembers chased side projects. Ed Mundell recorded a number of well-received albums with his index trio the Atomic Bitchwax, piece Tim Cronin and Jon Kleiman collaborated on the Ribeye Brothers and Gallery of Mites. But, Monster Magnet duly reunited for a short North American circuit in early 2002 and, a year later, a new manage with the German SPV label was proclaimed. Recorded in late 2003, the group's sixth uncut record album, 2004's Monumental Baby!, would be recorded with a new musical rhythm section, these existence bassist Jim Baglino and drummer Bob Pantella. In 2005, Phil Caivano left hand the band amicably, and the rest of the chemical group started recording in L.A. with producer Matt Hyde. Reissues of Tab and Backbone of God were released in the meantime, on with a 20th Century Masters -- Millennium Collection phonograph recording of their greatest hits. In November 2007, later a European circuit, 4-Way Diablo was released.
