Cancer Pain Is Not One-Size-Fits-All: Evolving from Tradition to Precision.

Cancer pain remains a significant challenge in oncology, profoundly affecting patients' quality of life, function, and prognosis. Historically under-recognized and managed with a uniform, opioid-centric approach, cancer pain was often inadequately treated. Advances in pain assessment, multimodal analgesia, and supportive care have improved outcomes, yet traditional algorithms frequently fail to address the complex, heterogeneous nature of cancer pain. Contemporary management is shifting toward precision and personalized medicine, integrating genetic, molecular, and biomarker data with individu

A Narrative Review of Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: What a Clinician Should Know.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is an uncommon complication of antiresorptive therapy (ART) in patients receiving higher and more frequent doses of osteoclast inhibitors. The jaws are the most common site, as they have high bone turnover. The oral structures are exposed to various types of stresses, like mastication and dental diseases, which lead to microtrauma and increased bone remodeling. The hallmark feature of MRONJ is the area of exposed, necrotic, nonhealing, asymptomatic bone for more than eight weeks. Objective signs are pain in the jaw and oral cavity, loose teet

Profile of eliglustat tartrate in the management of Gaucher disease.

Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficient activity of acid beta glucosidase, with consequent accumulation of glucosylceramide in the spleen, liver, bone marrow, and various organs and tissues. Currently, the gold standard for GD treatment is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). The efficacy of ERT in improving or stabilizing the visceral and hematological symptoms of GD is well-proven. However, since ERT has to be administered by frequent intravenous infusions, this therapeutic approach has an important impact on the patient's quality of life. Eliglustat tartrat

Identifying a predictive level of serum C-terminal telopeptide associated with a low risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw secondary to oral surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (sCTX) thresholds for predicting the minimal risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients undergoing anti-resorptive therapy prior to oral surgery. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBase, and the Cochrane Library up to September 2023 for case-control, prospective and retrospective studies that assessed sCTX levels in patients exposed to anti-resorptive drugs who underwent oral surgery. We extracted data using a predetermined form. We performed an ori

Pharmacological Treatments and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Patients with Chronic Pain.

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that affects every aspect of a patient's life and which may be treated through different pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Analgesics are the drugs most commonly used to treat pain, and in specific situations, the use of opioids may be considered with caution. These drugs, in fact, do not always induce optimal analgesia in patients, and several problems are associated with their use. The purpose of this narrative review is to describe the pharmacological approaches currently used for the management of chronic pain. We rev

Новые клеточные модели для изучения взаимодействия Мьелин и Микроглиа.

Множественный склероз (MS) характеризуется обезвоживанием и нейроинфламмацией, при этом окислительный стресс играет ключевую роль в патологии поражения. Цель этого исследования заключалась в изучении дифференциальной реакции клеток на миелиновый мусор в различных окислительных состояниях. Окисление Myelin было вызвано с помощью системы Cuperoxid, что подтверждается повышенными уровнями TBARS и автофлюоресценцией. Из-за воздействия миелина на жизнеспособность микроглии BV-2 так и не была затронута. Однако окисленный миелин значительно изменил маркеры окислительного стресса, автофагию и метаболи

Should treatment of hypogammaglobulinemia with immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) become standard of care in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia?

Hypogammaglobulinemia (HGG) is a frequent finding in patients with hematological malignancies, and is commonly described in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) before or after treatment. We reviewed published literature available online in the last thirty years through Medline search of indexed articles focusing on the main differences and advantages of the products now available on the market, namely intravenous Ig (IVIg) and subcutaneous Ig (SCIg) preparations. IgRT is effective and safe in the prophylaxis of infections in a selected group of patients with CLL and hypogammaglobulinemia and is

Interactions between kidney disease and diabetes: dangerous liaisons.

BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) globally affects 18-20 % of adults over the age of 65 years. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most frequent and dangerous complications of DM2, affecting about one-third of the patients with DM2. In addition to the pancreas, adipocytes, liver, and intestines, the kidneys also play an important role in glycemic control, particularly due to renal contribution to gluconeogenesis and tubular reabsorption of glucose.MethodsIn this review article, based on a report of discussions from an interdisciplinary group of experts in the areas of endocrinolo

Adverse events of antibody-drug conjugates on the ocular surface in cancer therapy.

Antibody-drug conjugates consist of a monoclonal antibody attached to a cytotoxic therapeutic molecule by a connector. This association allows a highly specific therapy, which increases their effectiveness and decreases their potential toxicity. This new therapy emerged approximately 20 years ago; since then, numerous combinations have appeared in the field of treatment-related neoplasms as an alternative for patients who do not achieve good results with conventional treatment options. Adverse effects of these drugs on the ocular surface are frequent and varied. Their prevalence ranges from 20

The MODIFY Study Protocol: An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multicenter, Prospective Pragmatic Study of Ixazomib-Based Triple-Drug Therapy in Chinese Patients with Multiple Myeloma.

BACKGROUND: Although the bortezomib-based triple-drug therapy is considered as a front-line therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) in Chinese patients, increased level of toxicity leads to treatment dissatisfaction. Treatment with ixazomib, an oral proteasome inhibitor, has demonstrated better efficacy and safety profile without increasing the toxicity. In this study, we investigate the safety and clinical outcomes of Chinese patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) who transitioned from a bortezomib-based triple-drug therapy to an ixazomib-based triple-drug therapy in a real-world clinical setting.
