“…The findings of this systematic review complement and extend findings from previous reviews summarizing the effects of psychosocial interventions on body image among women diagnosed with breast cancer 10,14–16 . Sixty‐two articles 22–83 describing 59 studies employing various study methods to evaluate a total of 70 interventions were included in this review. Several findings warrant special attention.…”

ObjectiveThis systematic review aimed to summarize evidence for the feasibility and acceptability of psychosocial interventions for body image among women diagnosed with breast cancer and the study methods used to evaluate the interventions in question.MethodsArticles were identified via MEDLINE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, PsychINFO, and EMBASE. Inclusion criteria were: (1) peer‐reviewed publication in English from 2000 onward with accessible full‐text, (2) reported data on the feasibility and/or acceptability of psychosocial interventions and/or study methods, (3) included at least one measure of body image or reported a body‐related theme, and (4) sample comprised women diagnosed with breast cancer. All study designs were eligible. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment.ResultsSixty‐two articles were included. Participants and comparator groups varied as did interventions. Feasibility and acceptability of the interventions and study methods were inconsistently operationalized and reported across studies. Evidence of feasibility and acceptability was heterogeneous within and across studies, though mostly positive.ConclusionPublished psychosocial interventions for body image and study methods are generally feasible and acceptable. Findings should be used to advance the development, implementation, and evaluation of interventions designed to improve outcomes (body image or otherwise) for women diagnosed with breast cancer.Systematic review registrationThis review was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; ID: CRD42021269062, 11 September 2021).

“…In an analysis of data from eight European countries up to May 2020 differentiating sex, the progression ratios per 10 years of age of COVID-19 mortality has been estimated as 3.3 and 3.4 for females and males, respectively 14 , which does not indicate any narrowing of the excess risk of men with increasing age. Ahrenfeldt et al 24 for 10 European countries reported crude relative risks for males in four age groups from data collected up to June 29, 2020. They found the smallest differences between males and females in the age group over 85 years old.…”

The number of reported coronavirus disease (COVID-19) deaths per 100,000 persons observed so far in 2020 is described in 15 European countries and the USA as dependent on age groups and sex. It is compared with the corresponding historic all-cause mortality per year depending on age and sex observed in these countries. Some common features exist although substantial differences in age and sex dependency of COVID-19 mortality were noted between countries. An exponential increase with age is a good model to describe and analyze both COVID-19 and all-cause mortality above 40 years old, where almost all COVID-19 deaths occur. Moreover, age dependency is stronger for COVID-19 mortality than for all-cause mortality, and males have an excess risk compared with women, which is less pronounced in the higher age groups. Additionally, concerning calendar time, differences in the age and sex dependency between countries were noted with the common tendency that male excess risk for COVID-19 mortality was smaller in the second half of the year.

“…Studies report that physical rehabilitation techniques and exercise regimens can help to reduce pain, fatigue, weakness, and lymphedema and thus improve QoL (8). Integrated structured exercise programs have been de ned and prescribed to check their bene ts over the QoL domains (9)(10)(11). In addition, a study reported that while structured exercise programs should focus on improving cardiorespiratory tness and muscular strength during exercise training, these programs should consider physical activity outside of training, if well-tolerated, to potentially further lower fatigue and improve QoL in cancer survivors (12).…”

Background Cancer is a medical condition where some cells of the body reproduce uncontrollably and metastasize to other parts of the body. The burden of the disease is significantly high both at the global and national levels. In UAE, cancer was found to be the third leading cause of death. Breast cancer has been ranked first due to its prevalence, incidence, and mortality in UAE. Breast cancer survivors have significantly poor cardiovascular tolerance which affects their Quality of Life (QoL), even after the carcinoma has been treated or removed. Thus, the protocol aims to analyze the changes in cardiovascular endurance and QoL domains for breast cancer survivors in the United Arab Emirates using a long-term 2-month physical rehabilitation. Methods A total of 60 breast cancer survivors would be included in the study using a randomized controlled allocation of a 2-month physical rehabilitation intervention program with three months follow up. The intervention would target the cardiovascular endurance component of the participants to improve their physical well-being and Quality of life ultimately. Discussion The findings of the study would have high clinical significance among the breast cancer survivors in UAE. The proposed physical rehabilitation program could be beneficial in improving cardiovascular endurance and thereby reduce the risk of mortality among the breast cancer survivors. In addition, the physiological benefits of the exercise program could improve their Quality-of-Life domains including physical, mental, and social well- being. On a larger view, it could also help to reduce the economic burden on the health system due to associated complications. Trial Registration: Clinical trial ID: NCT06013527. Registration date: 28 August 2023.
