Communication with relatives and collusion in palliative care: A cross-cultural perspectiveEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Chaturvedi Santosh K, Loiselle Carmen G, Chandra Prabha SIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2009 15(1):2-9Handling collusion among patients and family members is one of the biggest challenges that palliative care professionals face across cultures. Communication with patients and relatives can be complex particularly in filial cultures where families play an important role in illness management and treatment decision-making. Collusion comes in different forms and intensity and is often not absolute. Some illness-related issues may be discussed with the patient, whereas others are left unspoken. Particularly in palliative ca...

The palliative care movement in India: Another freedom struggle or a silent revolution?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Koshy CherianIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2009 15(1):10-13The message of palliative care in India has become a movement in several parts of India in a short span of time. The past two decades have seen palpable changes in the mindset of health care providers, and policy makers with respect to the urgency in providing palliative care. With a population of over a billion spread over a vast geo-political mosaic, the reach and reliability of palliative care programmes may appear staggering and insurmountable. Nonetheless we have reasons to be proud in that we have overcome several hurdles and is presently in a 'con...

Mishra Seema, Bhatnagar Sushma, Chaudhary Prakash, Rana Shiv Pratap SinghIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2009 15(1):14-18Breakthrough pain has been associated with a reduced likelihood of adequate pain control. Despite the large and variable incidence of this phenomenon due to varied definitions of this type of pain, only a few studies have been conducted to assess and effectively treat breakthrough pain though the importance of managing breakthrough pain has been acknowledged by all. A large number of drugs from various classes and novel methods of administration like nasal and transmucosal buccal route, as in the case ...

Narayanan Vijayakumar, Koshy CherianIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2009 15(1):19-25Fatigue is a common symptom of advanced cancer limiting one's activity and affecting the quality of life. It is a multidimensional symptom complex with subjective and objective components. Hence, its definition and assessment seems arbitrary, incomplete, and elusive. Components of fatigue often merge with other 'disease states' as anemia, depression and so on, compounding difficulty to assess it separately. Fatigue has a high prevalence rate, and lasts longer in chronic diseases like cancer. Its association with treat...

Saini Rajiv, Marawar P P, Shete Sujata, Saini Santosh, Mani AmeetIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2009 15(1):26-29World Health Organization defines palliative care as the active total care of patients whose disease is not responding to curative treatment.

However, though we thought it was wise to maintain the official (but not unproblematic) Dutch/Belgian definition of euthanasia in the original text (written for Belgian readers), the English texts offers a new and clearer definition of euthanasia. From the very beginning of the Belgian euthanasia debate in 1999, the Flemish Palliative ...

Role of percutaneous nephrostomy in advanced cervical carcinoma with obstructive uropathy: A case seriesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: In spite of inherent, albeit manageable complications, PCN is a simple and safe technique. One of the major benefits observed was ability to administer either curative/palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy in 85% of patients (11 out of 13 with disease). There was no active disease in remaining 2 patients. Therefore, the decision to attempt PCN in carefully selected cervical cancer patients is justified.

Palliative care physicians' religious / world view and attitude towards euthanasia: A quantitative study among flemish palliative care physiciansEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: In our research we noted that physicians who have a strong belief in God and express their faith through participation in prayer and rituals, tend to be more critical toward euthanasia. Physicians who deny the existence of a transcendent power and hardly attend religious services are more likely to approve of euthanasia even in the case of minors or demented patients. In this way this study confirms the influence of religion and world view on attitudes toward euthanasia.

Palliative care in Parkinson's disease: Role of cognitive behavior therapyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: CBT has a strong evidence base for its use and has proven to be an effective treatment in management of people with chronic pain, fatigue syndrome, depression and sleep disturbances, with efficacy that lasts beyond the duration of treatment. Although PD patients suffer from these complications, there are only a few studies on administration of CBT on them. Considering its effectiveness, CBT can be used as an option for palliative care for PD patients, directed toward improving the patient's functional status, clinical disability and quality of life. Further studies are required in this area.

Evaluation of a combination of low-dose ketamine and low-dose midazolam in terminal dyspnea-attenuation of "double-effect"Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The author concludes that a combination of low-dose ketamine and midazolam can be safely used in the palliation of terminal dyspnea, with excellent results. The duration of action of this combination in providing symptomatic relief is however short-lived, being 36.7 minutes on an average (SD 5.23), thus necessitating intermittent IV top-ups. No adverse reports were obtained in the study.
