Accidental Ixazomib Overdose in a Patient With Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy. Ixazomib is the first oral proteasome inhibitor approved in the United States for the management of multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior treatment. The availability of oral chemotherapeutic agents for the management of multiple myeloma has made it easier for patients who do not have to come to the hospital for chemotherapy infusions. However, many barriers are associated with oral chemotherapy, and one of them is a misinterpretation of instruction which can have deleterious effects. In this case report, we pr

Oral chemotherapy agents in cats: clinical uses, administration and side effects.

PRACTICAL RELEVANCE: Cancer is a very common disease in cats, and many feline patients will require chemotherapy as part of their treatment plan, either as a sole agent or as part of multimodality therapy. Although some general practitioners might be reluctant to undertake injectable chemotherapy, oral chemotherapy may feel like a more acceptable treatment option to manage in practice. CLINICAL CHALLENGES: The small body size of many cats means that tablet sizes made for the human market are less appropriate, which creates dosing challenges. The administration of oral medication can also be a

A phase I/II trial of hydroxychloroquine in conjunction with radiation therapy and concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme.

Preclinical studies indicate autophagy inhibition with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) can augment the efficacy of DNA-damaging therapy. The primary objective of this trial was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and efficacy of HCQ in combination with radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ) for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GB). A 3 + 3 phase I trial design followed by a noncomparative phase II study was conducted in GB patients after initial resection. Patients received HCQ (200 to 800 mg oral daily) with RT and concurrent and adjuvant TMZ. Quantitative electron microscopy and immun

Advancing cancer therapy: Nanomaterial-based encapsulation strategies for enhanced delivery and efficacy of curcumin.

Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound derived from Curcuma longa, has gained significant attention as a potential anticancer agent due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor properties. Despite its therapeutic potential, the clinical application of curcumin is limited by its poor aqueous solubility, rapid metabolism, and limited bioavailability. To address these limitations, various nanomaterial-based encapsulation strategies have been developed, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, micelles, dendrimers, and hybrid nanomaterials. These formulations

Beyond Formulation: Contributions of Nanotechnology for Translation of Anticancer Natural Products into New Drugs.

Nature is the largest pharmacy in the world. Doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX) are two examples of natural-product-derived drugs employed as first-line treatment of various cancer types due to their broad mechanisms of action. These drugs are marketed as conventional and nanotechnology-based formulations, which is quite curious since the research and development (R&D) course of nanoformulations are even more expensive and prone to failure than the conventional ones. Nonetheless, nanosystems are cost-effective and represent both novel and safer dosage forms with fewer side effects due to m

The Mediterranean region, known for its biodiversity and traditional dietary habits, provides a rich array of natural comp

Symptomatic Hypoalbuminemia as an Indication for Treatment of Waldenström Macroglobulinemia: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Hypoalbuminemia has been reported as common in patients with symptomatic Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), but it is not typically mentioned as a manifestation of the disease in review articles or articles discussing indications for treatment. We present the case of a patient with WM for whom symptomatic hypoalbuminemia was the primary reason for initiating treatment. Except in rare cases of WM with renal or gastrointestinal involvement, hypoalbuminemia is thought to be due to the effects of elevated levels of inflammation-associated cytokines, and it has been associated with greater likelih

Bone Metabolism Effects of Medical Therapy in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma.

The medical therapy of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is based on the use of targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). These therapies are characterized by multiple endocrine adverse events, but the effect on the bone is still less known. Relatively few case reports or small case series have been specifically focused on TKI and ICI effects on bone metabolism. However, the importance to consider these possible side effects is easily intuitable because the bone is one of the most frequent metastatic sites of RCC. Among TKI used in R

Nutritional Impact of High-Dose Melphalan in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation.

High-dose melphalan is the standard conditioning treatment for patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematological malignancies. Although effective, it often causes significant gastrointestinal side effects, such as mucositis, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can quickly affect patients' nutrition, hydration, and electrolyte balance, leading to acute malnutrition. This nutritional decline increases the risk of infections, prolongs hospital stays, and can worsen short-term recovery. Routine nutritional assessment and early support are not consistently i

Innovative Peptide Therapeutics in the Pipeline: Transforming Cancer Detection and Treatment.

Cancer remains a leading global health burden, profoundly affecting patient survival and quality of life. Current treatments-including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery-are often limited by toxicity or insufficient specificity. Conventional chemotherapy, for instance, indiscriminately attacks rapidly dividing cells, causing severe side effects. In contrast, peptide-based therapeutics offer a paradigm shift, combining high tumour-targeting precision with minimal off-target effects. Their low immunogenicity, multi-pathway modulation capabilities, and adaptability for diagnos

Bone biology in the elderly: clinical importance for fracture treatment.

Age-related bone impairment often leads to fragility fractures in the elderly. Although excellent surgical care is widely provided, diagnosis and treatment of the underlying bone disorder are often not kept in mind. The interplay of the three major bone cells - osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes - is normally well regulated via the secretion of messengers to control bone remodeling. Possible imbalances that might occur in the elderly are partly due to age, genetic risk factors, and adverse lifestyle factors but importantly also due to imbalances in calcium homeostasis (mostly due to vita
