Serum Interleukin-6 is Not Linked with Sleep-Quality, Restless Legs Syndrome, and Depression, But with 6-Month Survival in Hematological Malignancies.

BackgroundSerum interleukin (IL)-6 has been found to be associated with sleep quality, mood, and survival in patients with solid tumors. Results in these studies were confounded by knowledge of diagnosis to study subjects. Moreover, such data among subjects with hematological malignancies and data regarding restless legs syndrome is limited. The present study was, therefore, conducted to assess the sleep quality, depression, and restless leg syndrome in hematological malignancies and to study if there is any role of IL6 associated with it.MethodsSixty-six subjects having hematological malignan

Beyond fluid overload: uncovering the hidden causes of dyspnea in hemodialysis patients.

BACKGROUND: Shortness of breath is a common and complex symptom in patients with advanced kidney failure treated with hemodialysis. It may result from excess fluid accumulation, cardiac dysfunction, or impaired lung performance. We studied the interactions between hydration status, pulmonary function, and muscle strength. METHODS: This cohort study included 29 patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Each participant underwent lung function testing, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide measurement, handgrip strength assessment, body composition analysis by bioimpedance, echocardiography, and l

Symptom burden and health-related quality of life six months after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cancer survivors with pelvic radiation injuries

Abstract Purpose Late radiation tissue injuries (LRTIs) after treatment for pelvic cancer may impair health related quality of life (HRQoL). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an adjuvant therapy for LRTIs, but limited studied. The aim of this study was to explore the development and association between symptoms of LRTI and HRQoL following hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Methods A pretest–posttest design was used to evaluate the changes in pelvic LRTIs and HRQoL from baseline (T1), immediately after treatment (T2) and at six-month follow-up (T3). EPIC and EORTC-QLQ-C30 were used to assess LRTIs and HRQ

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange: For Cancer Patients.

Therapeutic plasma exchange is used as a trial method for the treatment of cancer patients. Therapeutic plasma exchange uses in vitro technology to remove pathogenic factors in the plasma, returning the replacement and remaining components to the patient to facilitate cure. In the effort to explore new methods of cancer treatment, the introduction of therapeutic plasma exchange brings new hope for cancer treatment; however, the current evidence supporting therapeutic plasma exchange is controversial, and most of the evidence comes from observational studies, lacking large prospective randomize

Multidisciplinary Progress in Obesity Research.

Obesity is a chronic disease that endangers human health. In recent years, the phenomenon of obesity has become more and more common, and it has become a global epidemic. Obesity is closely associated with many adverse metabolic changes and diseases, such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, nervous system diseases and some malignant tumors, which have caused a huge burden on the country's medical finance. In most countries of the world, the incidence of cancer caused by obesity is increasing year on year. Diabetes associated with obesity can lead to seconda

Current and future applications of ultrasound imaging in peripheral nerve disorders.

Neuromuscular ultrasound (NMUS) is a rapidly evolving technique used in neuromuscular medicine to provide complimentary information to standard electrodiagnostic studies. NMUS provides a dynamic, real time assessment of anatomy which can alter both diagnostic and management pathways in peripheral nerve disorders. This review describes the current and future techniques used in NMUS and details the applications and developments in the diagnosis and monitoring of compressive, hereditary, immune-mediated and axonal peripheral nerve disorders, and motor neuron diseases. Technological advances have

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Cancer: Insights Into Therapeutic Targets and Clinical Implications.

Radiation therapy is a fundamental component of cancer treatment, benefiting 50%-70% of patients by selectively targeting malignant tissues. However, radioresistance remains a significant challenge, often driven by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT increases cancer invasiveness and metastasis by upregulating mesenchymal markers, including vimentin and N-cadherin, and downregulating epithelial markers, such as E-cadherin. EMT under radiation involves principal signaling pathways, including TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and ERK, which regulate EMT through transcription factors such as

Physical Characteristics Pertaining to Health-Related Quality of Life in Hospitalized Patients With Hematologic Malignancies: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Patients with hematologic malignancies often experience pre-existing physical decline, which is further exacerbated during chemotherapy, resulting in markedly reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL). These functional impairments are largely attributable to modifiable factors such as physical inactivity and malnutrition. However, the precise relationships among body composition, physical function, and HRQOL in this population remain insufficiently understood. Therefore, this study aimed to identify key physical determinants of HRQOL in hospitalized patients with hematologic ma

Yttrium-90 resin microspheres as an adjunct to sorafenib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

PurposeThe safety and efficacy of the combined use of sorafenib and yttrium-90 resin microspheres (Y90 RMS) to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not well established. We determined the incidence of adverse events with this combination therapy in patients with advanced HCC at our institution and analyzed the treatment and survival outcomes.Materials and methodsWe reviewed the records of 19 patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer class B or C HCC who underwent treatment with Y90 RMS (for 21 sessions) while receiving full or reduced doses of sorafenib between January 2008 and M

Dermatological manifestations of hematologic neoplasms. Part II: nonspecific skin lesions/paraneoplastic diseases.

Cutaneous manifestations occur in the course of hematologic malignancies and precede, accompany or occur late in relation to the diagnosis. They result from paraneoplastic phenomena, tumor infiltrations, immunosuppression resulting from the hematologic disease itself or its treatment. The dermatologist must be aware of these conditions that may be helpful both in the diagnosis of the underlying disease and in reducing patient morbidity. This review (part II) addresses the paraneoplastic dermatological changes associated with systemic hematologic malignancies.

Внеклеточные нуклеотиды являются посредником в вирусных инфекциях центральной нервной системы: ключи от нейроинфламмации и нейродегенерации.

Недавний рост инфекционных заболеваний, затрагивающих центральную нервную систему, вызвал обеспокоенность по поводу их роли в нейроинфламмации и нейродегенерации. Вирусные патогены или их продукты могут вторгаться в центральную нервную систему и вызывать повреждения, ведущие к менингиту, энцефалиту, менингоэнцефалиту, миелиту или постинфекционным демиелинизирующим заболеваниям. Хотя изначально нейроинфламмация имеет защитную функцию, хроническое воспаление может способствовать развитию нейродегенеративных заболеваний. Такие механизмы, как агрегация белков и клеточные расстройства, связаны с ко
