Factors affecting post-traumatic growth in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients in South Korea: a descriptive survey study.

BackgroundWhile most studies on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have focused on its negative impact, recent research has highlighted the concept of post-traumatic growth (PTG), where individuals experience positive psychological changes after a traumatic event. However, research on PTG in HSCT recipients remains limited. This study aimed to examine PTG as the primary outcome among HSCT recipients and identify key psychosocial and clinical predictors.MethodsAdult HSCT recipients within 1 year of transplantation at a university hospital in Seoul were enrolled from March 2018 to Ma

Comparison of CAR T-cell and bispecific antibody as third-line or later-line treatments for multiple myeloma: a meta-analysis.

BackgroundCAR-T-cell therapy and bispecific antibody have revolutionized the treatment landscape for multiple myeloma. However, there is currently a lack of studies comparing the efficacy and safety of these two approaches. This meta-analysis assesses the efficacy and safety of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CAR-T-cell therapies and BCMA×CD3 bispecific antibodies as third-line or later interventions for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases up to May 31, 2024, identifying 11 eligible studies encompassing

Demographic, epidemiological, and health transitions: are they relevant to population health patterns in Africa?

BackgroundStudies of trends in population changes and epidemiological profiles in the developing world have overwhelmingly relied upon the concepts of demographic, epidemiological, and health transitions, even though their usefulness in describing and understanding population and health trends in developing countries has been repeatedly called into question. The issue is particularly relevant for the study of population health patterns in Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, as the history and experience there differs substantially from that of Western Europe and North America, for which these conce

Molecular and physical technologies for monitoring fluid and electrolyte imbalance: A focus on cancer population.

Several clinical examinations have shown the essential impact of monitoring (de)hydration (fluid and electrolyte imbalance) in cancer patients. There are multiple risk factors associated with (de)hydration, including aging, excessive or lack of fluid consumption in sports, alcohol consumption, hot weather, diabetes insipidus, vomiting, diarrhea, cancer, radiation, chemotherapy, and use of diuretics. Fluid and electrolyte imbalance mainly involves alterations in the levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in extracellular fluids. Hyponatremia is a common condition among individuals

Curcumin Formulations for Better Bioavailability: What We Learned from Clinical Trials Thus Far?

Curcumin has been credited with a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties for the prevention and treatment of several chronic diseases such as arthritis, autoimmune diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hemoglobinopathies, hypertension, infectious diseases, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, neurological diseases, obesity, and skin diseases. However, due to its weak solubility and bioavailability, it has limited potential as an oral medication. Numerous factors including low water solubility, poor intestinal permeability, instability at alkaline pH, and fast metabolism contri

From Time-Limited Therapy to Treatment-Free Observation: The Evolving Role of MRD in CLL Management.

The integration of measurable residual disease (MRD) into the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has emerged as a major advance in risk stratification and trial design, particularly in the context of time-limited, targeted regimens. High-sensitivity MRD assessment, enabled by multicolor flow cytometry, allele-specific oligonucleotide PCR, and next-generation sequencing (NGS), provides a robust, quantifiable measure for depth of remission and long-term outcomes. Landmark trials-including CLL14, MURANO, CAPTIVATE, and GLOW-have consistently demonstrated that achieving undetectable

Bone Health for Gynaecologists.

Osteoporosis, the most common bone disorder, profoundly impacts women's health, especially during postmenopausal phases. Characterised by diminished bone mineral density (BMD), it increases the risk of fractures, affecting mobility, quality of life, and potentially mortality. The present review analyses the intricate interactions among physiological alterations, diseases, and medications that lead to bone mineral density reduction in women. It underscores the importance of gynaecologists in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of osteoporosis via early risk assessment, suitable hormone tr

Survival protection of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: grounded theory.

PurposeFor patients with blood malignancies, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a significant challenge. These patients have hope to be completely cured after the transplantation, but deal with the dread of dying at the same time. This study presents a deep understanding of the psychological process of the treatment including perception, emotion, interactions, and its consequences in patients undergoing HSCT.MethodsThis study utilized a qualitative method based on the Strauss and Corbin Approach toward the grounded theory. The research population comprised all patients undergoin

Social support and care burden in family caregivers of patients with hematologic malignancies: a parallel mediation model of coping strategies.

ObjectiveWith the rising incidence of hematologic malignancies (HMs) in recent years, caregivers of HMs patients have increasingly emerged as a significant factor affecting the treatment of these conditions. This study aimed to explore the association of coping strategies on the relationship between care burden and social support among family caregivers of HMs patients.MethodologyA questionnaire survey was conducted involving 207 family caregivers of hospitalized HMs patients in a tertiary hospital in Dalian from October 2023 to May 2024 and 200 valid responses were collected. We used hierarch

In the time of COVID-19: challenges, successes, and lessons learned from studies in cancer patients.

The COVID-19 pandemic created the urgent need to monitor risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and mortality and to evaluate immune responses to novel vaccines. A foremost concern was the unknown risks to patients with cancer, considering their overall health, immune status, and interactions with cancer therapies. The US National Cancer Institute, in partnership with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, established the SARS-CoV-2 Serological Sciences Network as the nation's largest coordinated effort to identify and establish standardized serology tests to study immune responses a

Assessing Cachexia Acutely after Autologous Stem Cell Transplant.

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHCT) is an accepted strategy for various hematologic malignancies that can lead to functional impairment, fatigue, muscle wasting, and reduced quality of life (QOL). In cancer cachexia, these symptoms are associated with inflammation, hypermetabolism, and decreased anabolic hormones. The relative significance of these factors soon after AHCT setting is unclear. The purpose of this study was to characterize the acute effects of AHCT on physical function, body composition, QOL, energy expenditure, cytokines, and testosterone. Outcomes were ass

Characteristics and Components of Self-Management Interventions for Improving Quality of Life in Cancer Survivors: A Systematic Review.

Self-management can improve clinical and psychosocial outcomes in cancer survivors. Which intervention characteristics and components are beneficial is unclear, hindering implementation into practice.

Selinexor in acute myeloid leukemia: therapeutic applications and current challenges.

This article aims to review the current application status and research advancements of selinexor in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Selinexor, as the first oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export protein Exportin-1 (XPO1), inhibits the abnormal nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins by blocking XPO1, thereby restoring their activity and exerting antitumor effects. Clinical studies have shown that selinexor monotherapy or combination therapy has demonstrated good anti-leukemia effects in AML, especially in patients with relapsed/refractory AML. In addition, the combinati

The interrelationship between prostate cancer and osteoporosis: new perspectives on shared molecular pathways and treatment strategies.

Osteoporosis is frequently regarded as a complication associated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with prostate cancer. Nevertheless, a notably higher incidence of osteoporosis has been observed in prostate cancer patients even in the absence of ADT, when compared to age-matched healthy individuals. This phenomenon is likely attributable to the synergistic effects of aging, chronic inflammation, and tumor-related factors, which collectively contribute to accelerated bone loss in this population. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that signaling pathways such as RANKL/RAN

Supportive care interventions in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

AbstractThere is no comprehensive synthesis of supportive care interventions for patients with hematologic malignancies receiving transplantation and cellular therapies (TCTs). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to characterize randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCT supportive care interventions and examine effects on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0. Findings were grouped by intervention and

Baseline Functional Performance Predicts Better Long-Term Self-Reported Physical Function After Auto-HSCT.

Background/Objectives: Determination of baseline predictors of longer-term quality of life (QOL) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) may identify patients with the greatest supportive care needs. We hypothesized that baseline older age, weight loss, and worse functional performance would negatively predict QOL over two years post-HSCT. Methods: Physical function, body composition, and QOL were assessed before (PRE) and one month (1MO) after Auto-HSCT in U.S. Veterans (N = 23). QOL and survival were also assessed approximately every six months for two years afte

The erectile and ejaculatory implications of the surgical management of rectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer is a significant cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although advances in surgical technology and technique have decreased mortality rates, surviving patients often experience sexual dysfunction as a common complication. The development of the lower anterior resection has greatly decreased the use of the radical abdominoperineal resection surgery, but even the less radical surgery can result in sexual dysfunction, including erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction. Improving the knowledge of the underlying causes of sexual dysfunction in this context and developing effectiv

A systematic literature review of the assessment of treatment burden experienced by patients and their caregivers.

BackgroundMany older adults with multiple chronic conditions, particularly those who are functionally impaired, spend considerable time juggling the competing demands of managing their conditions often assisted by caregivers. We examined methods of assessing the treatment burden experienced by this population as a first step to identifying strategies to reduce it.MethodsSystematic searches were performed of the peer-reviewed and grey-literature (PubMed, Cochrane library, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, New York Academy of Medicine Grey Literature Review, NLM catalog and ProQuest Digita
