Physical Activity as a Nonpharmacological Symptom Management Approach in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Recommendations for Future Research.

PURPOSE: Essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and myelofibrosis are rare chronic hematological malignancies known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and are characterized by deregulated myeloid lineage cell production, splenomegaly, and heterogeneous symptom profiles. MPN patients suffer from a significant symptom burden (eg, fatigue, depressive symptoms, early satiety) and an impaired overall quality of life (QoL). Current treatments typically include pharmacological approaches, which may come with additional side effects and may be limited by treatment-associated toxicities (ie,

Drug repurposing: A novel strategy to target cancer stem cells and therapeutic resistance.

Chemotherapy is an effortless and frequently used approach in cancer therapy. However, in most cases, it can only prolong life expectancy and does not guarantee a complete cure. Furthermore, chemotherapy is associated with severe adverse effects, one of the major complications of effective cancer therapy. In addition, newly published research outputs show that cancer stem cells are involved in cancer disease progression, drug resistance, metastasis, and recurrence and that they are functional in the trans-differentiation capacity of cancer stem cells to cancer cells in response to treatments.

Cancer survivorship at heart: a multidisciplinary cardio-oncology roadmap for healthcare professionals.

In cancer, a patient is considered a survivor from the time of initial diagnosis until the end of life. With improvements in early diagnosis and treatment, the number of cancer survivors (CS) has grown considerably and includes: (1) Patients cured and free from cancer who may be at risk of late-onset cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT); (2) Patients with long-term control of not-curable cancers in whom CTR-CVT may need to be addressed. This paper highlights the importance of the cancer care continuum, of a patient-centered approach and of a prevention-oriented policy. The

Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of cannabis use disorder yields insight into disease biology and public health implications.

As recreational use of cannabis is being decriminalized in many places and medical use widely sanctioned, there are growing concerns about increases in cannabis use disorder (CanUD), which is associated with numerous medical comorbidities. Here we performed a genome-wide association study of CanUD in the Million Veteran Program (MVP), followed by meta-analysis in 1,054,365 individuals (ncases = 64,314) from four broad ancestries designated by the reference panel used for assignment (European n = 886,025, African n = 123,208, admixed American n = 38,289 and East Asian n = 6,843). Population-spe

Переход от педиатрической помощи к альтернативной склерозовой терапии для взрослых: проблемы, стратегии и терапия.

Множественный склероз (MS) — хроническое аутоиммунное состояние, вызывающее повреждение защитного покрытия нервов в центральной нервной системе. Педиатрический множественный склероз является редкой формой болезни, которая затрагивает 3-5% лиц с множественным склерозом. Множественный склероз (POMS) у педиатрии Onset (Podiatric Onset Multical Sclerosis) имеет весьма иной клинический профиль по сравнению с более распространенным множественным склерозом у взрослых. Помимо классических симптомов множественного склероза, дети, как правило, испытывают различные нетипичные симптомы, которые могут влия

CBD promotes antitumor activity by modulating tumor immune microenvironment in HPV associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

IntroductionMarijuana use is associated with HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, cannabinoid use continues to increase in the US general population for recreational purposes as well as in cancer patients for palliative care. In this study, we explored the role of cannabidiol (CBD) in promoting anti-tumor activity by modulating immune response in HPV-positive HNSCC by using pre-clinical models.MethodsThe anti-proliferative effect of CBD on HPV-positive HNSCC cells was evaluated through BrdU, apoptosis and migration analyses, followed by western blot analysis to

Utilizing Three-Dimensional Culture Methods to Improve High-Throughput Drug Screening in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive endocrine neoplasm, with a median survival of just four to six months post-diagnosis. Even with surgical and chemotherapeutic interventions, the five-year survival rate is less than 5%. Although combination dabrafenib/trametinib therapy was recently approved for treatment of the ~25% of ATCs harboring BRAFV600E mutations, there are no approved, effective treatments for BRAF-wildtype disease. Herein, we perform a screen of 1525 drugs and evaluate therapeutic candidates using monolayer cell lines and four corresponding spheroid models of

Cannabis Biomolecule Effects on Cancer Cells and Cancer Stem Cells: Cytotoxic, Anti-Proliferative, and Anti-Migratory Activities.

Cancer is a complex family of diseases affecting millions of people worldwide. Gliomas are primary brain tumors that account for ~80% of all malignant brain tumors. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common, invasive, and lethal subtype of glioma. Therapy resistance and intra-GBM tumoral heterogeneity are promoted by subpopulations of glioma stem cells (GSCs). Cannabis sativa produces hundreds of secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, terpenes, and phytocannabinoids. Around 160 phytocannabinoids have been identified in C. sativa. Cannabis is commonly used to treat various medical co

Skeletal organoids.

The skeletal system, composed of bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons, serves as the foundation for maintaining human posture, mobility, and overall biomechanical functionality. However, with ageing, chronic overuse, and acute injuries, conditions such as osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, muscle atrophy, and ligament or tendon tears have become increasingly prevalent and pose serious clinical challenges. These disorders not only result in pain, functional loss, and a marked reduction in patients' quality of life but also impose substantial social and economic burdens.

Delayed Presentation of Thymoma-Related Aplastic Anemia: An Unusual Presentation of a Rare Complication.

A 68-year-old Caucasian man presented with gross hematuria and oral mucosal bleeding. The patient was known to have an anterior mediastinal mass, highly suspicious for thymoma, which was incidentally identified on imaging, 8 years prior. The patient then declined treatment and was lost to follow-up. On presentation, imaging re-demonstrated the anterior mediastinal mass and the patient was found to have profound pancytopenia. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of aplastic anemia (AA). Despite optimal treatment, the patient expired on day 9 of admission. In this case we report an unusual

Cell-to-cell communication in cancer: workshop report.

Recent advances in cancer biology and the development of new research tools have enabled interrogations of single cells and cell-cell interactions. Emerging technologies are capable of revealing data on the physical characteristics of cells, differences in the genome and proteome between cancerous and healthy cells, and variations in distinct cell subpopulations. Dynamic measurements enable studies that can reveal the evolution of cell characteristics. Cells can also be assembled in vitro or ex vivo into two- and three-dimensional cell environments, allowing for studies of cell-cell interactio

Chronic Non-cancer Pain Management and Addiction: A Review.

The use of opioids in chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) has been a fast-rising treatment phenomenon in the last two decades. Though opioids are advocated in various chronic pain management guidelines, their use in chronic non-cancer pain still remains controversial as evidence of this approach is still weak. This paper highlights potential adverse effects associated with opioid use in pain management, including an increase in tolerance, dependence, and addiction outcomes. Nonetheless, opioids have an important place in contemporary CNCP management for selected patients. However, pain management m

A new therapeutic approach in Gorham-Stout disease: a case report.

BackgroundGorham-Stout disease is a rare condition of unknown prevalence and unknown exact cause. Its pathogenesis is based on enhanced osteoclastic activity leading to bone resorption and bone replacement by distended lymphatic vessels. Because of its rarity and a various range of symptoms the disease may give, diagnosis is challenging and a strong index of suspicion is required. Although it is a benign condition, the prognosis may be unpredictable. The treatment options suggested so far are limited, and every case should be provided with the best individual approach. Herein, we present a cas

Множественные модели миэломы и витро человека для моделирования заболеваний и скрининга на лечение.

Множественная миелома (ММ) — гематологическая порча, характеризующаяся неконтролируемым расширением злокачественных плазменных клеток в микроокружающей среде костного мозга. В то время как культуры подвески клеточных линий MM и мусриновых моделей были краеугольным камнем исследований MM патогенез, эти традиционные системы не могут воспроизвести критические аспекты микроопухоли человека. В частности, нынешние модели неадекватно учитывают ключевые биологические вопросы, включая механизмы приобретения лекарственного сопротивления, стратегии уклонения от иммунитета и роль клеточного перекрестка в
