Question: In the United States, patients who enroll in chemotherapy trials seldom reflect the attributes of the general population with cancer, as they are often younger, more functional, and have less comorbidity. We compared survival following three chemotherapy regimens according to the setting in which care was delivered (ie, clinical trial vs usual care) to determine the generalizability of clinical trial results to unselected elderly Medicare patients.', 'Using SEER-Medicare data, we estimated survival for elderly patients (ie, age 65 years or older, n = 14097) with advanced pancreatic or lung cancer following receipt of one of three guideline-recommended first-line chemotherapy regimens. We compared their survival to that of similarly treated clinical trial enrollees, without age restrictions, with the same diagnosis and stage (n = 937). All statistical tests were two-sided.', 'Trial patients were 9.5 years younger than elderly Medicare patients. Medicare patients were more often white and tended to live in areas of greater educational attainment than trial enrollees. For each tumor type, Medicare patients who were 75 years or older had median survivals that were six to eight weeks shorter than those of trial patients (4.3 vs 5.8 months following treatment with single agent gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer, P = .03; 7.3 vs 8.9 months following treatment with carboplatin and paclitaxel for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, P = .91; 8.2 vs 10.2 months following treatment with CDDP/ VP16 for extensive stage small cell lung cancer, P .01), whereas younger Medicare patients had survival times that were similar to those of trial patients.

Question: Accurate prediction of recovery of dysfunctional myocardium would optimize risk/benefit analysis among patients with coronary artery disease and decreased ventricular function. Tissue-tagged magnetic resonance imaging permits quantitative assessment of changes in ventricular function and may improve the prediction of myocardial recovery after coronary artery bypass grafting.', 'Thirteen patients underwent preoperative and postoperative stress magnetic resonance imaging with strain analysis at rest with 5 and 10 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1) dobutamine. Two-dimensional strain analysis was performed on a single midventricular short-axis image divided into 6 regions for each patient (n = 78). Regional minimum principal, circumferential, and radial strain values were calculated at each stress level. Regional changes in postoperative strain were correlated with changes in preoperative dobutamine stress by means of logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic curves were created to determine the accuracy of preoperative dobutamine stress for the prediction of postoperative myocardial recoverability.', 'Minimum principal, circumferential, and radial strain values at 5 and 10 microg of dobutamine differed significantly from baseline strains (P < .05). Receiver operator characteristic curves found minimum principal strain to be 75% accurate for prediction of recoverability at both stress levels. Circumferential strain was 72% and 70% accurate at 5 and 10 microg, respectively, whereas radial strain was 77% and 64% accurate at 5 and 10 microg, respectively.

Question: The safety of silicone breast implants recently has been questioned. Increasing numbers of women have reported a variety of health problems that they attribute to their implants. The purpose of this descriptive study was to explicate the phenomenon of silicone-related illness as reported by women who have had breast implants.', 'A qualitative design was grounded in the theoretical framework proposed by McBride and McBride (1981), the core of which is the first-person, lived experiences of women as interpreted and explained by the women themselves.', 'Participants were recruited through Command Trust Network, an international support group for women with breast implant problems. The sample consisted of 55 women from 19 states and Canada who experienced health problems they attributed to their implants. Eighteen percent labeled themselves as disabled.', 'Themes emerging from responses to 10 questions are discussed in terms of circumstances leading to initial implantation, understanding risks and benefits, health problems and symptoms, physician response, choices made about implant removal, and psychosocial and emotional consequences.
