Glutathione Transferase P1-1 an Enzyme Useful in Biomedicine and as Biomarker in Clinical Practice and in Environmental Pollution.

Glutathione transferase P1-1 (GSTP1-1) is expressed in some human tissues and is abundant in mammalian erythrocytes (here termed e-GST). This enzyme is able to detoxify the cell from endogenous and exogenous toxic compounds by using glutathione (GSH) or by acting as a ligandin. This review collects studies that propose GSTP1-1 as a useful biomarker in different fields of application. The most relevant studies are focused on GSTP1-1 as a biosensor to detect blood toxicity in patients affected by kidney diseases. In fact, this detoxifying enzyme is over-expressed in erythrocytes when unusual amo

Living with pain-a systematic review on patients' subjective experiences.

BACKGROUND: Understanding the subjective experiences of patients living with chronic, acute, and cancer pain can significantly enhance the selection of treatment approaches, care, and support, ultimately improving their quality of life. This qualitative systematic review aimed to analyze if the patients' subjective experiences of living with pain differ between acute, chronic, and cancer pain states. METHODS: After registration in PROSPERO (CRD42023491745), an electronic search was conducted in the databases Medline (Ovid), Embase (embase.com), Cochrane (Wiley), Web of Science (Clarivate Anal

Действенность и безопасность цифрового таперинга для пациентов, которым предписывается опиоид после хирургической операции: протокол для перспективного исследования кохарта.

Предыстория 300 million Каждый год во всем мире проводятся хирургические операции, и опиоиды по-прежнему являются одним из основных методов борьбы с острой послеоперационной болью. Исследования показали, что значительное число пациентов не прекращают опиоидное лечение и продолжают использовать опиоиды в течение месяцев или даже лет после операции. Известная практика применения опиоидов рецептурного отпуска и управления ими является частью нынешних клинических руководящих принципов безопасного прописывания. Каждый пациент должен получать тщательный контроль, образование и план скрининга, когда

Assessment of depression symptoms among cancer patients: a cross-sectional study from a developing country.

Cancer patients experience psychological symptoms such as depression during the cancer treatment period, which increases the burden of symptoms. Depression severity can be assessed using the beck depression inventory (BDI II). The purpose of the study was to use BDI-II scores to measure depression symptoms in cancer patients at a large tertiary hospital in Palestine. A convenience sample of 271 cancer patients was used for a cross-sectional survey. There are descriptions of demographic, clinical, and lifestyle aspects. In addition, the BDI-II is a tool for determining the severity of depressio

When Cancer Is the Self: An Interpretive Description of the Experience of Identity by Hematology Cancer Patients.

BackgroundThe term "cancer" is imbued with identity signals that trigger certain assumed sociocultural responses. Clinical practice with hematological cancer patients suggests the experience of these patients may be different than that of solid tumor cancer patients.ObjectiveWe sought to explore the research question: How are identity experiences described and elucidated by adult hematological cancer patients?MethodsThis qualitative study was guided by interpretive description as the methodological framework.ResultsPreexisting identity labels and assumptions assigned to the overarching "cancer

Exposome and unhealthy aging: environmental drivers from air pollution to occupational exposures.

The aging population worldwide is facing a significant increase in age-related non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular and brain pathologies. This comprehensive review paper delves into the impact of the exposome, which encompasses the totality of environmental exposures, on unhealthy aging. It explores how environmental factors contribute to the acceleration of aging processes, increase biological age, and facilitate the development and progression of a wide range of age-associated diseases. The impact of environmental factors on cognitive health and the development of chronic age

Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell Therapy: Practical Considerations for Implementation in Europe.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is a new class of cellular immunotherapies that involves ex vivo genetic modification of T cells to incorporate an engineered CAR. After infusion into the patient, the CAR-expressing T cells recognize specific tumor targets and induce an immune response against them. The technology utilized is fundamentally different from previously available cancer treatments. Currently, most CAR-T cell therapies use autologous T cells. Tisagenlecleucel (formerly CTL019) is an anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy that was recently approved in the United States for the tr

Effects of Smartphone-Based Hospital-Family Transitional Care on Symptom Burden and Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Depression

Objective: To explore the effects of smartphone-based hospital-family transitional care on symptom burden and quality of life in elderly patients with depression. Methods: This study retrospective analyzed the clinical data of 168 elderly patients with depression admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024. A total of 79 patients were included in the reference group (routine transitional management), and 89 subjects were included in the observation group (smartphone-based hospital-family transitional care). The symptom burden and quality of life in both groups before and after m

Potential health and economic impact of achieving Kenya's overweight and obesity reduction target: a modelling study.

IntroductionKenya has adopted the WHO target of halting the rise of overweight, including obesity, by 2025. This paper assesses the potential impact of achieving the set target on health, healthcare cost and productivity.MethodsWe used a proportional multistate life table model (Kenya Obesity Model) to simulate the 2019 population of Kenya over their lifetime. We compared a scenario in which body mass index (BMI) distributions stabilise in 2025 against one whose BMI distributions stabilise in 2044, and quantified changes in disease-specific health outcomes, healthcare costs and productivity. W

Population-Based Detection of Cancer Cases Using Digital Platforms in Mangalagiri Mandal of Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh.

Background and objectives Cancer is one of the major causes of illness and mortality in India. The cancer burden in India will roughly triple over the next 20 years. Population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) are crucial not only for formulating cancer control policies and assessing their effectiveness but also offer essential inputs for programs aimed at preventing cancer. The state of Andhra Pradesh after the division in 2014 has been left with no PBCR. Hence, with the aim to pilot the development of a population-based cohort of cancer cases with digital reporting and monitoring mechanisms,

Early palliative care for solid and blood cancer patients and caregivers: Quantitative and qualitative results of a long-term experience as a case of value-based medicine.

IntroductionCancer patients and their caregivers have substantial unmet needs, that negatively impact the clinical outcome and quality of life. However, interventions aimed to address such needs are still suboptimal, failing to answer the recent healthcare call for the adoption of value-based models of care. In the case of incurable oncologic and hematologic cancers, a value-based model of care should plan advanced care on patients' needs and include the quality of death as an outcome. The integration of early palliative care into standard oncologic care for patients with advanced cancers repr

Obesity as a Multifactorial Chronic Disease: Molecular Mechanisms, Systemic Impact, and Emerging Digital Interventions.

Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease resulting from complex genetic, molecular, environmental, and behavioral interactions. Its prevalence rises worldwide, affecting cardiovascular, metabolic, oncological, hepatic, respiratory, and skeletal health. Beyond caloric excess, genetic predisposition, epigenetic modifications, gut microbiota dysbiosis, endocrine-disrupting agents, circadian misalignment, and intergenerational and prenatal influences are critical determinants of obesity risk. Core pathophysiological mechanisms include insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, chronic low-grade inflamma
