Results show that people with diabetes are under pressure regarding the treatment first, then physical pressure, followed by psychological pressure then followed by family pressure, and finally social pressures. Results also show that strategies used by diabetes type 1 are negative strategies, while type II diabetes are positive strategies.
Oral complications are common in patients with cancer who
undergo chemotherapy treatment. Not all patients are at equal risk
for developing oral complications. A number of variables have been
identified that bear on both the frequency and severity
of oral
problems associated with therapy. These can be divided into those
that are associated with the patient and those that are related to the
treatment regimen. In this study we have studied the effect of
patient age and gender on the oral complications in group of patients
who undergo chemotherapy treatment. We conclude that aging can
affect some oral complication chemotherapy like xerostomia and
taste changes whereas gender has it effect on pain and oral sence
disorders mainly in males.

Studies demonstrated a prognostic role for postoperative CA 19-9 in patients with resectable pancreatic carcinoma following surgery. Our study aimed to investigate whether CA 19-9 provided similar prognostic information in patients with advanced unre
sectable pancreatic cancer treated with chemotherapy and to determine whether such endpoints should therefore be reported in future randomized trials. Between Mars 2014 and December 2015, 36 patients ( median age 57 years, range 38-80 years, 9 females, 27 males ) with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and a baseline Karnofsky-index more than 60 were treated with chemotherapy . Only patients with a bilirubin of less than 2 mg/dL at the time the CA 19-9 was evaluated were included in the analysis to avoid the confounding effect of hyperbilirubinemia. Only patients with basal high CA19-9 were included in the analysis. Survival was measured from the date of first post CRT CA 19-9 level until death or last follow-up. Patients with a decrease of20 < % of the baseline CA19-9 level after 8 weeks of treatment (n=25) had a significantly better median survival than patients with a rise or a decrease < 20% (n-11) (6.98 vs4.68 months; p=0.007). Age and basal CA19-9 did not show significant or a trend for significant differences regarding survival by univariate analysis (P=0.987, p=0.878 respectively). Females had a significantly better median survival than males (7.83 vs 5.75 months, P=0.023).
Background: people with cancer experience great changes in their life as a result of disease, treatment and disease prognosis which affect their quality of life .with the goal of investigating breast cancer patient's quality of life during chemother
