| Psychological help aids cancer patients
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 29 Psychological interventions for cancer patients help ease emotional distress and improves general health, a Ohio State University Medical Center study found.
The study involved 227 breast cancer patients at the Ohio State University Medical Center diagnosed with Stage II or Stage III breast cancer. All had received mastectomies and underwent chemotherapy during the study.
Half the patients received the intervention -- weekly meetings in groups of eight to 12 with a clinical psychologist. The sessions, which lasted four months, included training on relaxation and coping with stress, strategies to improve health behaviors, information on the value of exercise, communication skills for dealing with physicians, and other related issues.
After four months, participants met monthly for another eight months.
Inquirer endorsement: Obama
Barely a month into the calendar of caucuses and primaries, the field has been winnowed. Gone are Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd and Dennis Kucinich. Quixotic is the only way to describe Mike Gravel's campaign heading to Super Tuesday, Feb. 5, when more than 20 states, including New Jersey and Delaware, will hold their caucuses and primaries. John Edwards' hopes had hinged on the outcome of yesterday's primary in his home state of South Carolina. On the party's ticket for vice president in 2004, Edwards' populist style might have made him a formidable candidate in any other presidential election. But not this one. This year it's been hard for anyone to get traction against two candidates who would make history no matter which one is nominated - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
