Beyond Individual Acute Phase Protein Assessments: Introducing the Acute Phase Index (API) as a Prognostic Indicator in Dogs with Malignant Neoplasia.

Acute phase proteins (APPs) are part of the innate immune response, changing during inflammation. An Acute Phase Index (API) is a calculated value that combines multiple APPs. In human medicine, the introduction of APIs has improved outcome monitoring. In veterinary medicine, APIs have been evaluated in livestock and dogs with Leishmaniasis. This study aimed to calculate an API and evaluate its significance in cancer-bearing dogs. Sera were collected from 55 dogs, which were classified by neoplastic category and survival times (> or < than 30 and 90 days). For 32 dogs, multiple samples were av

Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide for the Prevention of Graft-vs.-Host Disease in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Guide to Management for the Advanced Practitioner.

Cyclophosphamide remains a critical component to haploidentical transplant conditioning regimens. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) emerged as an effective component of graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in the nonmyeloablative haploidentical bone marrow transplant setting. The relative ease of administration compared with ex vivo manipulations and efficacy in reducing GVHD has led to increasing PTCy use in transplant centers around the world. The role of PTCy has expanded to haploidentical transplantation with myeloablative conditioning regimens and peripheral blood progenitor ce

Development of Anticancer Peptides Using Artificial Intelligence and Combinational Therapy for Cancer Therapeutics.

Cancer is a group of diseases causing abnormal cell growth, altering the genome, and invading or spreading to other parts of the body. Among therapeutic peptide drugs, anticancer peptides (ACPs) have been considered to target and kill cancer cells because cancer cells have unique characteristics such as a high negative charge and abundance of microvilli in the cell membrane when compared to a normal cell. ACPs have several advantages, such as high specificity, cost-effectiveness, low immunogenicity, minimal toxicity, and high tolerance under normal physiological conditions. However, the develo

Acute kidney injury after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is associated with inferior survival in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Baseline risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) during chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are not well described. Hence, we evaluated the incidence and risk factors associated with AKI among patients undergoing CAR-T for relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma. Among 155 patients, 28 (18%) developed AKI with a median time-to-peak creatinine from CAR-T of 9.5 days (range = 3-30). Aetiologies included volume depletion (n = 20, 71%), cytokine release syndrome (n = 5, 18%), nephrotoxins (n = 5, 18%), tumour lysis syndrome (n = 1, 4%) and multifactorial (n = 6, 21%). On univaria

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections in Cancer Patients.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is one of the most frequent opportunistic microorganisms causing infections in oncological patients, especially those with neutropenia. Through its ability to adapt to difficult environmental conditions and high intrinsic resistance to antibiotics, it successfully adapts and survives in the hospital environment, causing sporadic infections and outbreaks. It produces a variety of virulence factors that damage host cells, evade host immune responses, and permit colonization and infections of hospitalized patients, who usually develop blood stream, respirato

Exploring microRNA targeting as a promising approach for solid tumor treatment.

The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their pivotal role in gene regulation has opened up new avenues for innovative cancer treatments. Recent years have witnessed extensive research into the intricate mechanisms of miRNAs and their impact on solid tumors. These small non-coding RNA molecules are central to gene regulation and are frequently dysregulated in various cancers, particularly solid tumors. Dysregulation of specific miRNAs can initiate, progress, and metastasize tumors, making them appealing targets in cancer therapy. This article explores recent studies on identifying specific miR

Ferroptosis in Haematological Malignancies and Associated Therapeutic Nanotechnologies.

Haematological malignancies are heterogeneous groups of cancers of the bone marrow, blood or lymph nodes, and while therapeutic advances have greatly improved the lifespan and quality of life of those afflicted, many of these cancers remain incurable. The iron-dependent, lipid oxidation-mediated form of cell death, ferroptosis, has emerged as a promising pathway to induce cancer cell death, particularly in those malignancies that are resistant to traditional apoptosis-inducing therapies. Although promising findings have been published in several solid and haematological malignancies, the major

Ferroptosis: Frenemy of Radiotherapy.

Recently, it was established that ferroptosis, a type of iron-dependent regulated cell death, plays a prominent role in radiotherapy-triggered cell death. Accordingly, ferroptosis inducers attracted a lot of interest as potential radio-synergizing drugs, ultimately enhancing radioresponses and patient outcomes. Nevertheless, the tumor microenvironment seems to have a major impact on ferroptosis induction. The influence of hypoxic conditions is an area of interest, as it remains the principal hurdle in the field of radiotherapy. In this review, we focus on the implications of hypoxic conditions

Biologics for bone regeneration: advances in cell, protein, gene, and mRNA therapies.

Bone fractures represent a significant global healthcare burden. Although fractures typically heal on their own, some fail to regenerate properly, leading to nonunion, a condition that causes prolonged disability, morbidity, and mortality. The challenge of treating nonunion fractures is further complicated in patients with underlying bone disorders where systemic and local factors impair bone healing. Traditional treatment approaches, including autografts, allografts, xenografts, and synthetic biomaterials, face limitations such as donor site pain, immune rejection, and insufficient mechanical

The Impact of Ketogenic Nutrition on Obesity and Metabolic Health: Mechanisms and Clinical Implications.

The ketogenic diet (KD) has recently gained increasing popularity. This high-fat, adequate-protein, and carbohydrate-poor eating pattern leads to nutritional ketosis. The KD has long been known for its antidiabetic and antiepileptic effects and has been used therapeutically in these contexts. Recently, the KD, due to its effectiveness in inducing weight loss, has also been proposed as a possible approach to treat obesity. Likewise, a KD is currently explored as a supporting element in the treatment of obesity-associated metabolic disorders and certain forms of cancer. Here, we discuss the meta
