JESSE WELLS REPORTING

ENID, OKLAHOMA -- Police in Enid use a taser to subdue a 69-year-old
nursing home patient.
Investigators say the elderly man, Lester Harris, had become
disruptive over the weekend. That's when staff at Enid Senior Care
called 911.
When officers arrived, Harris supposedly hit one of the officers in
the stomach.
To get control of Harris, police twice used their tasers.

Insomnia prevalent among cancer patients who receive chemotherapy
Science Centric | 24 November 2009 13:25 GMT
Three quarters of cancer patients and survivors treated with
chemotherapy suffer insomnia or sleep disorders that often become
chronic conditions, hindering patients' ability to fully recover,
according to scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Centre.
A study of 823 cancer patients showed they experienced sleep troubles
at nearly three times the rate of the general population. The problem
was more prevalent in younger patients and those with lung and breast
cancers, according to the paper published online in the Journal of
Clinical Oncology.
'These numbers are very high and something we can't ignore,' said
Oxana Palesh, Ph.D., M.P.H., research assistant professor of Radiation
Oncology at the Medical Centre's James P. Wilmot Cancer Centre and
lead author of the paper. 'The good news is that insomnia is a very
treatable problem that can be addressed quickly so it doesn't compound
other symptoms.'
Palesh reviewed data on patients who received chemotherapy between
1997 and 1999 at private practice medical oncology groups who were
part of the National Cancer Institute's Community Clinical Oncology
Program (CCOP.)
Patients answered questionnaires after their first two chemotherapy
treatments. Responses to sleep-related questions showed that 37
percent of participants suffered from insomnia symptoms and another 43
percent had insomnia syndrome, as categorised by the Hamilton
Depression Inventory, a widely used measure for symptoms of
depression. These patients had difficulty falling asleep and staying
asleep at least three days per week.
The challenge is that once people experience sleep problems and
related fatigue, they begin taking naps and going to bed earlier,
which perpetuates the problem and is counter-productive to getting
restorative sleep at night, Palesh said.
Sleep problems are generally combined with patients complaints of
fatigue and depression however, it has not been studied to determine
the causes and impact on patients' quality of life.
