Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyLong-term results of maintenance treatment of mitomycin C or alternating mitomycin C and bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation therapy of patients with carcinoma in situ of the bladder: a subgroup analysis of the prospective FinnBladder 2 study with a 17-year follow-up.
Only a few studies with a long-term follow-up exist on patients with carcinoma in situ (CIS) treated with instillation therapy. The objective was to study the long-term outcome of patients with CIS after mitomycin C (MMC) monotherapy or alternating therapy with MMC and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). ⋯ The long-term bladder cancer-specific mortality was unexpectedly low despite the relatively ineffective instillation therapy and the poor outcome of the patients after progression.

Sleep quality and its correlates in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
The aim of this study was to investigate demographic, clinical and psychosocial factors associated with sleep quality in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). ⋯ Although poor sleepers had lower nutritional indices, an elevated BDI was the only independent predictor of poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality was also associated with lower QoL in patients on CAPD.
