A Clinical Study of Pharyngolaryngectomy with Total Esophagectomy: Postoperative Complications, Countermeasures, and Prognoses
Conclusions Serious postoperative complications were related to tracheostomaplasty. Although pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy is highly invasive, we believe that our outlined treatment method is the most appropriate for cases of advanced hypopharyngeal or cervical esophageal cancer that also requires concurrent surgery for esophageal cancer.

Abstract A36: Exploring the climate, barriers, and possible approaches to implementing genetic cancer risk assessment in Latin America: A roundtable discussion
Genetic cancer risk assessment (GCRA) is an interdisciplinary medical subspecialty practice that employs a growing arsenal of genetic and genomic tools to identify individuals and families with increased risk for cancer, often prior to the onset of disease, when early detection or prevention strategies are most effective. Access to GCRA is a standard of care in most developed countries, but is not available in most of Latin America. In March of 2014, City of Hope in Duarte, CA, conducted a roundtable discussion forum with 16 Latin American physicians representing Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico. The purpose...

Wealth and mortality at older ages: a prospective cohort study
Conclusions There are persisting wealth inequalities in mortality at older ages, which only partially are explained by established risk factors. Wealth appears to be more strongly associated with mortality than other socioeconomic position measures.

Abstract B84: Influence of acculturation, ethnic identity, and Latino origin on barriers to colonoscopy in low-income Latinos: A longitudinal study
Discussion: We found an association between change in fear and worry scores, and ethnic identity. Interventions that address negative emotions regarding CRC screening procedures/results should also consider addressing the influence of individual characteristics (e.g., commitment and sense of belonging to their ethnic group) on CRC screening among Latinos referred to colonoscopy.Citation Format: Marimer Santiago-Rivas, Lina Jandorf, Katherine DuHamel.

Development and Validation of a Model to Predict Absolute Vascular Risk Reduction by Moderate-Intensity Statin Therapy in Individual Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The Anglo Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial, Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial, and Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study Original Articles
Conclusions— ARRs of major cardiovascular events by statin therapy can be accurately estimated for individual patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using a model based on routinely available patient characteristics. There is a wide distribution in ARR that may complement informed decision making. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00327418 (CARDS) and NCT00000542 (ALLHAT).

Physical Illness in Gay, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Marriages: Gendered Dyadic Experiences
The inclusion of same-sex married couples can illuminate and challenge assumptions about gender that are routinely taken for granted in studies of physical illness. We analyze gender dynamics in gay, lesbian, and heterosexual marriages with in-depth interview data from 90 spouses (45 couples) to consider how spouses co-construct illness experiences in ways that shape relationship dynamics. Overall, findings indicate that men tend to downplay illness and thus provide minimal care work, whereas women tend to construct illness as immersive and involving intensive care work—in both same-sex and different-sex marriages. Y...

Abstract A05: Does Dual Use of Cigarettes and Little Cigars/Cigarillos Increase the Risk for Nicotine Dependence Among Young Adults?
Conclusions. Results showed that dual use behavior is common and that there is differential risk of nicotine dependence by tobacco use subgroup type and by racial/ethnic and gender groups. Marijuana in LCCs may increase addiction to cigarettes for males, females, and Hispanics, but not for African Americans. These data are complex, but point to the need to develop tailored health messages for cigarette-only users and dual users.Citation Format: Pebbles Fagan, Pallav Pokhrel, Thaddeus Herzog, Mignonne Guy, Ian Pagano, Kymberle Sterling.

Inclusive education theory and practice: What does this mean for paediatricians?
Inclusive education has become the dominant approach to providing for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, not only in the UK but internationally. However, this general term, inclusive education, is not a simple description of the educational provision. On the contrary, children and young people with SEN are a highly heterogeneous subgroup of the school (and preschool, college and university) population and their education needs are varied. In this article I seek to provide a wider understanding of the nature of SEN; the legal and professional frameworks in which we work; the res...

Māori: living and dying with cardiovascular disease in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article provides an informed perspective on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and palliative care need among Māori New Zealanders. High Māori CVD risk factors will contribute to a sharp increase in older Māori deaths which has implications for health and palliative care service provision. Recent findings CVD is New Zealand's leading cause of premature deaths and disability among Māori. A projected rise in older Māori deaths within the next 30 years will require increased palliative care. However, accessing palliative care and obtaining and understanding information can be challenging for families who are already of...

Defining sarcopenia: some caveats and challenges
Purpose of review To summarize the latest advances and caveats in defining sarcopenia and discuss the implications of the most recent worldwide initiatives which are trying to harmonize the definition.
