    Abstract Purpose: Understanding real-time relationships between physical activity (PA) and symptoms during chemotherapy (CT) could have important implications for intervention. This study used ecological momentary assessment to examine the relationship between objective PA and symptoms during CT.
    Methods: Breast cancers patients (n = 67; M
    Results: On days when individuals engaged in more LPA or MVPA, separately, they reported improved affect, anxiety, fatigue, physical functioning (walking and activities of daily living), pain, and cognition that day (p < 0.001 for all). Findings were consistent for next-day symptom ratings with the exception that only previous day LPA was related to next-day fatigue and neither LPA nor MVPA were related to next-day cognition (p < 0.001 for all). No between-person effects were found.
    Conclusions: Within person higher than usual PA on a given day, regardless of intensity, is associated with improved symptoms ratings on the current and next day.
    Implications for cancer survivors: Encouraging breast cancer patients undergoing CT to engage in daily PA could help manage CT-associated symptoms.

    Abstract Purpose: To examine the relationship between daily fluctuations in symptoms and sedentary behavior (SB) during chemotherapy (CT) for breast cancer.
    Methods: Breast cancer patients ( N = 68, M age = 48.5 ± 10.4 yr) undergoing CT wore an activity monitor on their hip to assess daily SB and completed prompts assessing symptoms (affect, anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, and physical and cognitive functioning) for 10 consecutive days (3 d pre-CT, day of, and 6 d post-CT) at the beginning, middle and end cycles of CT. Mixed models assessed the bidirectional between-person (BP) and within-person (WP) associations of current day symptoms with minutes of SB measured on 1) the same day and 2) the next day, controlling for relevant covariates.
    Results: Within person same-day results revealed a significant association between affect, anxiety, fatigue, physical functioning, pain, and cognitive functioning and same-day SB. Worse than average symptom ratings on a given day were associated with more SB that day. There was a significant WP relationship between previous-day anxiety, depression, and physical function and next-day SB (i.e., worse than average symptom ratings the previous day were associated with more SB the next day). Within person same-day results revealed a significant association between same-day SB and affect, anxiety, fatigue, pain, physical functioning, and cognitive functioning. The WP relationships were significant for previous-day SB and next-day affect and pain (i.e., higher than average SB associated with lower ratings). Relationships persisted when controlling for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. There were no significant BP results.
    Conclusions: Higher symptom ratings were associated with increased SB and higher SB was associated with worse symptoms. Future work should identify SB reduction intervention approaches tailoring to daily symptom burden during CT for breast cancer.

    Abstract Objective: Although physical activity is associated with better health outcomes in breast cancer survivors (BCS), activity often declines during cancer treatment. Social cognitive theory (SCT) constructs have been associated with physical activity in post-treatment BCS, but little is known about the relation between these constructs and physical activity during chemotherapy.
    Methods: BCS (n = 67; M
    Results: Within-person differences in all SCT variables were statistically significantly related to same-day MVPA (p's < 0.001) and LPA (p's < 0.001). Every one-point increase in SCT construct related to an increase in MVPA ranging from (a) 3.70 (self-efficacy) to 8.02 (physical outcome expectations) minute increase in MVPA and (b) 12.72 (self-efficacy) to 20.38 (physical outcome expectations) increase in LPA that day. No same-day between-person effects nor any next-day effects were significant.
    Conclusion: MVPA and LPA were related to same-day within-person differences in SCT variables. Interventions targeted at increasing or mitigating chemotherapy-related declines in daily within-person changes in SCT constructs could help to increase physical activity among BCS during chemotherapy.

    Abstract This study aimed to examine the antifungal activity of wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) essential oil on Colletotrichum musae and Lasiodiplodia theobromae, the causative organisms of anthracnose and crown-rot diseases of banana fruits, respectively. Chitin synthase is a promising target for antifungal compounds, since it is involved in synthesizing chitin, which forms a major proportion of the fungal cell wall. Disc volatilisation method was employed to assess the in vitro antifungal activity of the oil. The vapours of this essential oil at 4 μL per Petriplate exhibited 100% growth inhibition of both the fungal pathogens, and at 66.66 μLL⁻¹ , it significantly (P <0.05) reduced the incidence and severity of anthracnose and crown-rot diseases in artificially wounded and infected fruits. The chemical composition of wild bergamot essential oil was determined by GC-MS technique and the components of the essential oil were docked against chitin synthase to determine the components responsible for antifungal activity. Chitin synthase was modelled by de novo approach due to non-availability of the 3D structure. The in silico techniques such as molecular docking and conceptual DFT revealed that the major components of the essential oil namely thymol, carvacrol and cinnamyl carbanilate manifested the best antifungal activity. This illustrates effective inhibition of the major postharvest diseases of banana by wild bergamot essential oil.

    Abstract Background: Increased activity is beneficial during chemotherapy, but treatment-related symptoms may be a barrier. This study examines the relationship between daily fluctuations in symptoms and activity during chemotherapy.
    Methods: Women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer [
    Results: For MVPA and LPA, within-person associations were statistically significant for same day affect, fatigue, pain, walking, activities of daily living (ADL) physical function, and cognitive function. Previous day anxiety was associated with next day LPA. Every one point worse symptom rating than an individual's overall average was associated with: (i) between 1.49 (pain) and 4.94 (fatigue) minutes less MVPA and between 4.48 (pain) and 24.72 (ADL physical function) minutes less LPA that day, and (ii) 11.28 minutes less LPA the next day. No between-person effects were significant for MVPA or LPA.
    Conclusions: Daily within-person variations in symptoms were associated with MVPA and LPA during chemotherapy for breast cancer.
    Impact: Future work should explore relationships between symptoms and activity further and identify whether tailoring to symptoms enhances efficacy of physical activity promotion interventions during chemotherapy.

    Abstract Breast cancer risk assessment continues to evolve as emerging knowledge of breast cancer risk drivers and modifiers enables better identification of high-risk women who may benefit from increased screening or targeted risk-reduction protocols. The ongoing development of breast cancer Risk Assessment and Management Programs (RAMPs) presents an opportunity to decrease breast cancer disease incidence with evidence-based interventions. The goal of this review was to provide a practical guide for providers seeking to establish or update a breast cancer risk assessment and management program. We outline genetic/familial, personal, reproductive, and lifestyle-related factors while discussing the incorporation of risk modeling for precise risk estimate personalization. We further describe the process for determining a risk management plan: information gathering, generation of a risk profile, and articulation and implementation of risk reduction. We also include an overview of clinical workflows in breast cancer management programs and underlines the logistics of establishing a program as well as general principles for guiding the formulation of an individualized risk management plan. We discuss practical considerations, such as clinic structure and operation, allocation of resources, and patient education. Other critical aspects of program design, including identification of the target population, delineation of the core components of the clinical experience, definition of provider roles, description of referral mechanisms, and the launching of a marketing plan are also addressed. The process of risk assessment is both anxiety-provoking and empowering for women at increased risk. New knowledge has enabled strategies to both understand the risk and control it through evidence-based risk management. These benefits can now be realized by an increasing number of unaffected, high-risk patients collaborating with risk management practitioners. Continuation of these efforts will lead to further progress in both risk stratification and risk management of women at elevated breast cancer risk in the near future.

    Abstract Purpose: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) may help us better understand biopsychosocial determinants and outcomes of physical activity during chemotherapy, but may be burdensome for patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of using EMA to assess activity, symptoms, and motivation among early-stage breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
    Methods: Women were instructed to wear an accelerometer 24/7 (hip during day and wrist overnight). Text message prompts were sent 4 times/day concerning patient-reported symptoms and motivational factors for 10 consecutive days (3 days pre-, day of, and 6 days post-chemotherapy dose). These measures occurred at the beginning, middle, and end of a full course of chemotherapy. At study conclusion, participants reported on perceived study acceptability, burden, and reactivity.
    Results: Of the 75 women who consented to participate, 63 (84%) completed all 3 assessment time points. Participants responded to 86% of total text prompts and had valid accelerometer data on 82% of study days. Compliance was similar across all time points. The majority (78%) rated their study experience as positive; 100% were confident in their ability to use study technology. Reactivity varied with 27% indicating answering symptom questions did not affect how they felt and 44% and 68% indicated answering questions and wearing the accelerometer, respectively, made them want to increase activity.
    Conclusions: Findings indicate EMA methods are feasible for breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. EMA may help us better understand the biopsychosocial processes underlying breast cancer patients' activity in the context of daily life.

    Abstract Purpose: Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients greatly overestimate their risk of developing contralateral breast cancer (CBC). Better understanding of patient conceptions of risk would facilitate doctor-patient communication and surgical decision making. In this mixed methods study, we prospectively examined breast cancer patients' perceived risk of future cancer and the reported factors that drove their risk perceptions.
    Methods: Women age 21-60 diagnosed with breast cancer without a BRCA mutation or known distant metastases completed a study interview between surgical consult and surgical treatment. Participants completed a 12-item Perceived Risk Questionnaire, which assessed 10-year and lifetime risks of ipsilateral local recurrence, CBC, and distant recurrence. Patients provided qualitative explanations for their answers.
    Results: Sixty-three patients completed study interviews (mean age 50.3). Participants were primarily White (85.7%) and 90.5% had attended college. Patients estimated their 10-year risk of CBC as 22.0%, nearly 4 times the established 10-year risk. Women attributed their risk perceptions to "gut feelings" about future cancer, even when women knew those feelings contradicted medically established risk. Perceptions of risk also reflected beliefs that cancer is random and that risk for local recurrence, CBC, and distant recurrence are the same.
    Conclusions: Our findings point to the need for novel ways of presenting factual information regarding both risk of recurrence and of new primary cancers, as well as the necessity of acknowledging cognitive and affective processes many patients use when conceptualizing risk. By differentiating women's intuitive feelings about risk from their knowledge of medically estimated risk, doctors can enhance informed decision making.
