Sleep problems in breast cancer survivors 1–10 years posttreatment
ABSTRACTObjective:Sleep can affect quality of life (QoL) during cancer survivorship, and symptoms related to poor sleep can be exacerbated. We examined the prevalence, severity, and nature of subjective sleep complaints in women surviving stage I-III breast cancer who were 1-10 years posttreatment. We also examined the demographic, medical, physical, and psychosocial correlates of poor sleep in these women in order to identify the subgroups that may be most in need of intervention.
A total of 200 patients at a comprehensive cancer center who were 1-10 years posttreatment for primary stage I-III breast cancer with no evidence of disease at the time of enrollment completed a battery of questionnaires on demographics, sleep, physical symptoms, mood, cancer-specific fears, and QoL.
The women had a mean age of 57 years (SD = 10.0), with a mean of 63.3 months (SD = 28.8) of post-cancer treatment. Some 38% of these patients were identified as having poor-quality sleep. Women with poor sleep took longer to fall asleep, had more awakenings, and acquired 2 hours less sleep per night than those with good sleep. They also had a lower QoL, greater severity of pain, more concerns about health and recurrence, and increased vasomotor symptoms (p < 0.05). Daytime sleepiness and depression were found to be not significantly correlated with sleep quality.
Many breast cancer survivors had severe subjective insomnia, and several breast cancer survivor subgroups were identified as having members who might be most in need of sleep-improvement interventions. Addressing physical symptoms (e.g., vasomotor symptoms and pain) and providing education about the behavioral, social, environmental, and medical factors that affect sleep could result in substantial improvement in the life course of breast cancer survivors.

Sleep problems in advanced cancer patients and their caregivers: Who is disturbing whom?
Background The aims of the study were to understand sleep problems and their effects in advanced cancer patients and spousal and intimate partner caregivers and to examine the directionality of the link between patients’ and caregivers’ sleep problems. Methods Fifty-four advanced cancer patients and their spousal and intimate partners were administered a battery of questionnaires that included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Center for Epidemiological Studies at the patients’ cancer diagnosis and at 2, 4, and 6 months after diagnosis. Results Patients’ and caregivers’ sleep duration was significantly related. Using cross-lagged panel analyses, caregivers’ sleep quality significantly predicted patients’ sleep quality and patients’ sleep quality subsequently predicted caregivers’ sleep quality. Patients’ sleep latency significantly was found to significantly predict caregivers’ sleep latency. Conclusion Patients diagnosed with cancer and their intimate partners have poor sleep quality and sleep patterns are related.

Wig-Styling Techniques
Straight hair is defined as hair that hangs in one direction with little or no bend or shape. There are several different ways of achieving straight hair on wig. Wavy hair undulates in a series of S-shaped curves from the roots to the ends. Wavy or crimped hair is one of the most versatile and varied elements of a hairstyle. Waving and crimping irons are fairly new tools to use in waving hair. Curly hair is defined as hair that has an evenly round shape from root to end. With naturally curly hair, the shape of the hair shaft itself is different from the hair shaft of naturally straight hair. Roller setting is any technique used to set hair involving rollers or curlers. The \"sprocket set\" because when it is finished, the rollers are sticking out all over the head like the spokes on a wheel. This technique is best for creating a naturally curly-haired wig look.
