“…Participants explained the importance of having a PET scanner and bone-scanning equipment available at the nearest hospital so that cancer survivors who wish to use these facilities do not need to travel outside the area to obtain accurate staging results. Such tools are valuable for preventing errors when detecting cancer metastases in breast cancer survivors according to research showing that bone-scanning tools are very useful for detecting the incidence of bone metastases at an early stage (18). An article previously highlighted the importance of the introduction of accurate cancer-detection tools in regional hospitals so that survivors do not have to travel far for examinations, especially those concerning the incidence of metastases, and we support that request (19).…”

Objective: To explore: 1) the unmet needs of breast cancer patients; 2) the sexual needs experienced by breast cancer survivors; 3) the experiences of cancer patients at the time of relapse, including the biopsychosocial- spiritual aspects of their experiences. Materials and Methods: Interpretative phenomenological qualitative research by conducting direct in-depth interviews with participants who met the inclusion criteria. Sample analyzed were breast cancer survivors who had experiences related to unmet needs (14 participants) or sexual problems (12 participants); adult cancer patients who experienced recurrences (10 participants). Results: Themes identified for breast cancer patients with unmet needs were i) overcoming health problems in breast cancer survivors; ii) need to access the best health services; iii) women’s unmet information needs concerning cancer treatment. For breast cancer survivors: i) information is needed to overcome sexual problems, ii) family support is needed to get sexual information, and iii) health care facilities need to provide sexual information. For patients experiencing recurrences: i) the reaction that occurs when receiving bad news; ii) efforts made during a relapse, iii) self-concept during a relapse. Conclusions: Health-related problems of breast cancer survivors, such as fatigue and fear of cancer recurrence, can lead them to have trouble with social relationships, question their spirituality, and struggle with sex and sexuality. Oncology nurses and other professionals need to be aware of the unmet needs of breast cancer survivors, especially in relation to resolving the sexuality issues of cancer survivors. Understanding of the experiences of patients with relapse of different types of cancer should be improved.

“…This result was in line with the results of other studies on the significant role of religious and spiritual beliefs in improving the quality of life of cancer patients ( 54 , 55 ). In another study on 72 patients with breast cancer, it was indicated that support-based SS could heighten hope in patients ( 1 ). SS for patients with advanced cancer could improve their spiritual health and quality of life and reduce negative mental health symptoms ( 56 ).…”

“…According to a recent study conducted in Iran, it was uncovered that there is an anticipated rise in the overall count of individuals diagnosed with cancer from 112,000 in 2016 to 160,000 cases in 2025, indicating a growth rate of 42.6% ( 4 ). Leukemia stands as a prevalent form of cancer, with its mortality rate holding the 15th rank worldwide ( 1 ). The highest increase in new cases of leukemia in Iran indicates a growth of 24% by 2025 ( 4 ).…”

Objective: Patients with leukemia suffer from significant psychological, spiritual, and social symptoms. Therefore, the current research aimed to study the impact of spiritual end-of-life support on the quality of life for leukemia patients. Method: To this end, the present quasi-experimental research with a pre-test and post-test design was performed. The sample included 60 cancer patients randomly assigned to intervention and control groups through the method of permutation block. The experimental group received spiritual support intervention for eight sessions of 60 minutes, while the control group received no intervention. Patients filled out the questionnaire of World Health Organization Quality of Life. The World Health Organization conducts a three-phase assessment to measure the quality of life. These phases include a pre-test, which is conducted before any intervention takes place. Then comes the post-test, which occurs after the intervention. Finally, there is a follow-up assessment conducted two months after the post-test. The obtained results were analyzed by repeated-measures analysis and independent samples t-test using SPSS software. Results: The findings from the repeated measures analysis revealed that there was a statistically significant interaction between time and group (P = 0.01). In other words, being compared to the control group, the spiritual support significantly increased the life quality of the patients in the experimental group. The experimental group witnessed a sustained enhancement in the quality of life for a period of two months following the intervention (follow-up, P = 0.01). Conclusion: Ultimately, the provision of spiritual support has the potential to enhance the overall well-being of individuals approaching the end of their lives, offering solace and aiding them in comprehending the true essence and purpose of their existence.

The host bird, in this case, has two options: either discard the guest's egg or relocate the nest entirely [28]. N percent of the current nests are replaced by new nests (with new random solutions in new locations) in Young's method to simplify pa.…”

Presenting a New Approach for Clustering Optimization in Wireless Sensor Networks using Fuzzy Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Because of the developments in this technology, wireless sensor networks are now among the most commonly used in the domains of agriculture, harsh environments, medical, and the military. Among the many problems with these networks is their limited lifespan. Much work has been done in the fields of sensor communication, routing, and data gathering to reduce energy usage and increase network life. Routing protocols and clustering algorithms are two techniques for reducing energy use. Selecting the cluster head is the most important stage in any clustering technique. The objectives of this article are to decrease total energy consumption, increase packet delivery rates, and lengthen the network's lifetime. In order to do this, the LEACH protocol uses cuckoo search instead of probability distribution during the cluster head selection step and fuzzy logic during the routing phase. A MATLAB environment was utilized to evaluate the proposed method with the LEACH algorithm under identical conditions. The results of the comparison show that the recommended approach does a better job of prolonging the network's lifetime than the LEACH protocol.
