Насколько общим является гиперкортизолизм у пациентов с гипертензией? Факторы риска, эпидемиология и диагностика.

Эндогенный гиперкортизолизм (ЭГК) является недооцененным и клинически значительным фактором гипертонии, особенно резистентной гипертонии. После того, как EHC считается редким субъектом, он теперь воспринимается как спектр избытка кортизола, связанного с неблагоприятными кардиометаболическими результатами и ущербом, причиненным мишени. Недавно проведенные широкомасштабные исследования свидетельствуют о значительном увеличении распространенности ЭГК среди пациентов с устойчивой гипертонией и трудноконтролируемым диабетом, зачастую в отсутствие классических особенностей кушингоида. В настоящем об

PPARs in Irradiation-Induced Gastrointestinal Toxicity.

The use of radiation therapy to treat cancer inevitably involves exposure of normal tissues. Although the benefits of this treatment are well established, many patients experience distressing complications due to injury to normal tissue. These side effects are related to inflammatory processes, and they decrease therapeutic benefit by increasing the overall treatment time. Emerging evidence indicates that PPARs and their ligands are important in the modulation of immune and inflammatory reactions. This paper discusses the effects of abdominal irradiation on PPARs, their role and functions in i

Intracellular Pathways and Mechanisms of Colored Secondary Metabolites in Cancer Therapy.

Despite the great advancements made in cancer treatment, there are still many unsatisfied aspects, such as the wide palette of side effects and the drug resistance. There is an obvious increasing scientific attention towards nature and what it can offer the human race. Natural products can be used to treat many diseases, of which some plant products are currently used to treat cancer. Plants produce secondary metabolites for their signaling mechanisms and natural defense. A variety of plant-derived products have shown promising anticancer properties in vitro and in vivo. Rather than recreating

Management of Foot Ulcers and Chronic Wounds with Amniotic Membrane in Comorbid Patients: A Successful Experience.

Chronic wounds are defined as those with disturbances in normal healing. They involve symptoms like exudate, odor, pain or impaired mobility, severely impacting life quality. In the case of patients with additional comorbidities, these are known to aggravate the healing impairment. Amniotic membrane (AM) is gaining attention for its regenerative potential, as it has shown promise in treating hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers. This work examines a series of five patients who, while suffering an array of other chronic conditions, were treated with AM for the management of non-hea

Allograft for Myeloma: Examining Pieces of the Jigsaw Puzzle.

Multiple myeloma (MM) cure remains elusive despite the availability of newer anti-myeloma agents. Patients with high-risk disease often suffer from early relapse and short survival. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is an "immune-based" therapy that has the potential to offer long-term remission in a subgroup of patients, at the expense of high rates of transplant-related morbidity and mortality. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) upon disease relapse after allo-HCT is able to generate an anti-myeloma response suggestive of a graft-versus-myeloma effect. Allo-HCT provides a

Exploring the Molecular Adaptations, Benefits, and Future Direction of Exercise Training: Updated Insights into Cardiovascular Health.

This review emphasizes the globally accepted physical activity guidelines and explores the various molecular adaptations that occur with continuous exercise. It is essential to highlight the critical roles of cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and muscle mass in reducing mortality and enhancing quality of life. It has been shown in various studies that there are certainly substantial reductions in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among individuals with high cardiorespiratory fitness levels. Resistance training is also examined, which, likewise, reveals significant mortality be

Impact of Educational Interventions on Psychological Distress During Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Randomised Study.

BackgroundPhysical and psychological factors, like wrong attitudes and behaviours, can negatively influence the health outcomes of the patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). Educational interventions aiming to improve knowledge on side effects, risks, complications and preventive behaviour can reduce psychological distress, and improve quality of life (QoL). We aimed to compare a standard approach with therapeutic patient education (TPE) to analyse the impact on AHSCT patients' QoL, psychological distress and knowledge of AHSCT side effects, risks compli

Joint AI-driven event prediction and longitudinal modeling in newly diagnosed and relapsed multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma management requires a balance between maximizing survival, minimizing adverse events to therapy, and monitoring disease progression. While previous work has proposed data-driven models for individual tasks, these approaches fail to provide a holistic view of a patient's disease state, limiting their utility to assist physician decision-making. To address this limitation, we developed a transformer-based machine learning model that jointly (1) predicts progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AE), (2) forecasts key disease biomarkers, and (3)

Cardiomyopathy: pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions.

Cardiomyopathy is a group of disease characterized by structural and functional damage to the myocardium. The etiologies of cardiomyopathies are diverse, spanning from genetic mutations impacting fundamental myocardial functions to systemic disorders that result in widespread cardiac damage. Many specific gene mutations cause primary cardiomyopathy. Environmental factors and metabolic disorders may also lead to the occurrence of cardiomyopathy. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the current understanding of the pathogenesis of various cardiomyopathies, highlighting the molecular and

Extra-Axial Skeletal Metastasis of Malignant Melanoma: Case Report and Literature Review.

The incidence of malignant melanoma is increasing worldwide and is one of the major causes of skin cancer deaths in the United States. Although melanoma has the potential to metastasize to any organ, the incidence of bone metastasis is low (~25%) compared to liver or lung metastasis. However, when a bone is involved, metastasis occurs to the axial skeleton in most cases (80%-90%), and involvement of the appendicular skeleton is relatively rare. We here describe the case of a patient who presented with a pathological fracture due to extra-axial skeletal metastasis of a widespread malignant mela

Challenges and Potential Solutions to Advance Global Cancer Drug Development.

Despite recent advancements in oncology drug development, patient access to innovative cancer therapies remains inadequate. There is an urgent need for more patient-centric approaches, with meaningful patient input from trial design through to health technology assessment (HTA) consultation. Multi-stakeholder consensus calls for better representation of the diversity of the target population and integration of patients' preferences in clinical cancer research by systematically collecting patient-reported outcomes using standardized methods, and acknowledging trade-offs between survival and lon

The present research aimed to examine the impact of Leventhal self-regulation training on stress, anxiety, and depression in MS patients. METHODS: The current study was conducted as a randomized educational trial of 60 women referred to the MS Association in Arak City i

Многомерное профилирование и модели риска, основанные на клиническом развертывании АИ, в МГУС и миеломе.

Моноклональная гаммопатия неопределённого значения (MGUS), храпающая миелома (SMM) и множественная миелома (MM) образуют континуум расстройств плазменных клеток, причем прогрессировать от MGUS до MM трудно предсказать. Нынешние модели стратификации риска, в значительной степени основанные на клинических, лабораторных и цитогенетических маркерах, не отражают молекулярную сложность, лежащую в основе развития заболеваний, что ограничивает их прогнозную точность. Последние достижения в области мультиомики, включая геномику, транскриптомику, протеомику и метаболомику, позволили глубже понять молеку

A Comprehensive Evaluation of CAR-T Cell Gene Therapy, Tracing its Revolutionary Clinical Breakthroughs and Advancements Towards Next-Generation Engineering.

BACKGROUND: CAR-T cell gene therapy has advanced from an experimental concept to a standard curative treatment for selected hematologic malignancies. Substantial clinical evidence has established CAR-T therapy as a cornerstone for relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies and multiple myeloma, demonstrating durable, long-term remissions. In 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) eliminated the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) requirement, reflecting improved clinical management of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome

Survival and functional outcomes following surgical repair of pathological fractures in dogs: A meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Pathological fractures result from abnormal bone remodeling caused by local bone lesions, such as malignant tumors, compromising bone strength. Tumor-derived factors disrupt the balance between bone resorption and formation, leading to osteolytic and osteosclerotic lesions that weaken bone integrity. While surgical treatments, including limb amputation and limb-sparing surgery, are commonly used, the therapeutic efficacy of fracture repair remains unclear due to limited evidence. AIM: This study characterized pathological fractures and evaluated survival time and functional progno
