Towards a unified approach for multiple myeloma care in Kenya - proceedings of the Inaugural Multiple Myeloma Congress.

The rising burden of multiple myeloma in Kenya has not been met by a commensurate effort for control. Patients and practitioners struggle with unavailability and unaffordability of diagnostics, drugs and stem cell transplant leading to presentation at advanced stages and under-treatment with increased morbidities and mortality. A concerted effort among stakeholders is urgently needed to develop strategies for myeloma control. The scarcity of providers also carries grave consequences for Kenyan patients. The Academic Model Providing Access To Healthcare (AMPATH) multiple myeloma program organiz

'Lessons learned' from trialists who adapted a complex intervention for remote delivery within a trial as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic: a scoping review.

BackgroundDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, complex interventions being evaluated in randomised controlled trials were often rapidly adapted from in-person to remote delivery. Such adaptations to intervention delivery have the potential to cause unintended consequences and affect important aspects of trial generalisability and interpretation. This scoping review aimed to identify the 'lessons learned' from trialists who adapted and remotely delivered a complex intervention within a trial because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gaining a better understanding of trialists' experiences of adapting interven

Availability of secondary healthcare data for conducting pharmacoepidemiology studies in Colombia: A systematic review.

Real-world evidence (RWE) is emerging as a fundamental component of the post-marketing evaluation of medicinal products. Even though the focus on RWE studies has increased in Colombia, the availability of secondary data sources to perform this type of research is not well documented. Thus, we aimed at identifying and characterizing secondary data sources available in Colombia. We performed a systematic literature review on PubMed, EMBASE, and VHL using a combination of controlled vocabulary and keywords for the concepts of electronic health records, epidemiologic studies and Colombia.

The roles of Cryptochrome-1: the circadian clock as a control point in cancer therapy.

In this review, we carefully describe the composition and operation of cryptochrome-1 (CRY1). We introduce four related signaling pathways, namely cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling way, HIFα signaling way, NF-κB signaling way, STAT3 signaling way, FOXO signaling pathway and Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway. We also emphasize the current understanding of the complex roles CRY1 plays in the progression of various solid tumors. We propose that its function represents a novel therapeutic target that could pave the way for new cancer treatments. Additionally, we summarize three emerging therapeutic strategies

Nursing care for chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy survivors: A literature review.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy is an immunotherapy that involves genetically modifying the patient's own T cells to express a chimeric antigen receptor, enabling them to recognize and destroy cancer cells. This treatment has revolutionized the prognosis and management of hematological malignancies, leading to a significant increase in long-term survivors. However, there is limited evidence regarding late sequelae and post-treatment care due to the recent emergence of this therapy. The rapid advancement of CAR-T therapies has created opportunities for advanced practice nurses

Long-term outcomes of children after solid organ transplantation.

Solid organ transplantation has transformed the lives of many children and adults by providing treatment for patients with organ failure who would have otherwise succumbed to their disease. The first successful transplant in 1954 was a kidney transplant between identical twins, which circumvented the problem of rejection from MHC incompatibility. Further progress in solid organ transplantation was enabled by the discovery of immunosuppressive agents such as corticosteroids and azathioprine in the 1950s and ciclosporin in 1970. Today, solid organ transplantation is a conventional treatment with
