Short-term efficacy of home-based heart rate variability biofeedback on sleep disturbance in patients with incurable cancer: a randomised open-label study

Hideaki Hasuo et al.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a self-coping system for home-based HRV-BF with resonant breathing in patients with sleep disturbance and evaluate its short-term efficacy and feasibility. The results showed that home-based HRV-BF significantly improved sleep efficiency, duration, and autonomic function. Therefore, it demonstrated high short-term efficacy and feasibility for a self-coping system.

Physical Function and All-Cause Mortality in Older Adults Diagnosed With Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Yasmin Ezzatvar et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between physical function and all-cause mortality in older adults diagnosed with cancer, finding that higher levels of physical function are associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. This protective effect was consistent across different functional tests, while age and length of follow-up did not significantly impact the results.
