Spinal cord infarction attributed to SARS-CoV-2, with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19: A case report.

BACKGROUND: While stroke and lower extremity venous thromboemboli have been commonly reported following acute infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), spinal cord infarction or ischemia has been extremely rare. Findings of long coronavirus disease (COVID) in this select population have not been studied. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 70-year-old female with sudden onset of trunk and lower extremity sensorimotor loss due to spinal cord infarction, attributed to acute infection with SARS-CoV-2. Diagnostic work up confirmed a T3 complete (ASIA impairme

Intensive Care Outcomes of Patients after High Dose Chemotherapy and Subsequent Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation: A Retrospective, Single Centre Analysis.

High dose chemotherapy (HDT) followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is standard of care including a curative treatment option for several cancers. While much is known about the management of patients with allogenic SCT at the intensive care unit (ICU), data regarding incidence, clinical impact, and outcome of critical illness following ASCT are less reported. This study included 256 patients with different cancer entities. Median age was 56 years (interquartile ranges (IQR): 45-64), and 67% were male. One-year survival was 89%; 15 patients (6%) required treatm

Использование естественных экзоцитозных везикул для борьбы с возрастными заболеваниями: от возрастных драйверов до терапевтических возможностей.

Старение — это сложный биологический процесс, приводящий к увеличению нагрузки возрастных заболеваний (ARD). Клеточная старость, включающая необратимое остановку клеточного цикла и выделение фенотипа секреторной активности при старении (SASP), играет центральную роль в старении и развитии ARD. Естественные экзоцитические везикулы (NEVs) — это везикулы, полученные из клеток, органов и тканей без искусственных вмешательств. В последние годы NEVs привлекли внимание как медиаторы межклеточной коммуникации, и показали многофункциональный потенциал в регулировании клеточной старости и ARD. С одной с

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 8th European Antibody Congress (EAC), organized by Terrapin Ltd., was again held in Geneva, Switzerland, following on the tradition established with the 4th EAC. The new agenda format for 2012 included three parallel tracks on: (1) naked antibodies; (2) antibody drug conjugates (ADCs); and (3) bispecific antibodies and alternative scaffolds. The meeting started and closed with three plenary lectures to give common background and to share the final panel discussion and conclusions. The two day event included case studies and networking for nearly 250 delegates who learned of the latest adva

Targeting FGFR for cancer therapy.

The FGFR signaling pathway is integral to cellular activities, including proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Dysregulation of this pathway is implicated in numerous human cancers, positioning FGFR as a prominent therapeutic target. Here, we conduct a comprehensive review of the function, signaling pathways and abnormal alterations of FGFR, as well as its role in tumorigenesis and development. Additionally, we provide an in-depth analysis of pivotal phase 2 and 3 clinical trials evaluating the performance and safety of FGFR inhibitors in oncology, thereby shedding light on the current

Primary hyperhidrosis: an updated review.

BACKGROUND: Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond the physiological needs of thermoregulation. HH can be classified as primary (idiopathic) hyperhidrosis (PHH) or secondary hyperhidrosis (SHH), which is associated with underlying medical conditions, medications or systemic disorders. This narrative review provides an updated overview of PHH, with a focus on epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches and current management strategies, particularly highlighting pharmacological and procedural treatment options. METHODS:

Different Strategies to Overcome Resistance to Proteasome Inhibitors-A Summary 20 Years after Their Introduction.

Proteasome inhibitors (PIs), bortezomib, carfilzomib, and ixazomib, are the first-line treatment for multiple myeloma (MM). They inhibit cytosolic protein degradation in cells, which leads to the accumulation of misfolded and malfunctioned proteins in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in cell death. Despite being a breakthrough in MM therapy, malignant cells develop resistance to PIs via different mechanisms. Understanding these mechanisms drives research toward new anticancer agents to overcome PI resistance. In this review, we summarize the mechanism of action of PIs and how M

Breaking Therapy Resistance: An Update on Oncolytic Newcastle Disease Virus for Improvements of Cancer Therapy.

Resistance to therapy is a major obstacle to cancer treatment. It may exist from the beginning, or it may develop during therapy. The review focusses on oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) as a biological agent with potential to break therapy resistance. This avian virus combines, upon inoculation into non-permissive hosts such as human, 12 described anti-neoplastic effects with 11 described immune stimulatory properties. Fifty years of clinical application of NDV give witness to the high safety profile of this biological agent. In 2015, an important milestone was achieved, namely the succ

A Review of Repurposed Cancer Drugs in Clinical Trials for Potential Treatment of COVID-19.

The pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents an unprecedented challenge to identify effective drugs for prevention and treatment. While the world's attention is focused on news of COVID-19 vaccine updates, clinical management still requires improvement. Due to the similarity of cancer-induced inflammation, immune dysfunction, and coagulopathy to COVID-19, anticancer drugs, such as Interferon, Pembrolizumab or Bicalutamide, are already being tested in clinical trials for repurposing, alone or in combination. Given the rapid pace of scientific discovery and clinical data ge

Musculoskeletal Organs-on-Chips: An Emerging Platform for Studying the Nanotechnology-Biology Interface.

Nanotechnology-based approaches are promising for the treatment of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, which present significant clinical burdens and challenges, but their clinical translation requires a deep understanding of the complex interplay between nanotechnology and MSK biology. Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) systems have emerged as an innovative and versatile microphysiological platform to replicate the dynamics of tissue microenvironment for studying nanotechnology-biology interactions. This review first covers recent advances and applications of MSK OoCs and their ability to mimic the biophysic

Exploring the efficacy and safety of anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ObjectiveMultiple myeloma (MM) is a bone marrow cancer that profoundly affects plasma cells involved in the immune response. Myeloma cells alter the average production of cells in the bone marrow. Anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy allows genetic modifications of an individual's T-cells to increase the expression of CARs used to identify and attach BCMA proteins to the malignant cells. Our main objective is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the efficacy and safety of anti-BCMA CAR T-cell therapy for MM.Material and met

Лупин (Lupinus angustifolius) Протеин гидролизат уменьшает остроту экспериментального аутоиммунного энцефаломелита: предварительное исследование.

Множественный склероз (MS) — нейродегенеративное заболевание, основным источником которого является воспаление и окислительный стресс в центральной нервной системе. Существует много лекарств, которые уменьшают клинические признаки MS, но ни один из них не лечит болезнь. Было доказано, что пищевые белки содержат зашифрованные пептиды, которые могут высвобождаться после гидролиза и осуществлять многочисленные биологические виды деятельности. Недавно мы продемонстрировали антивоспалительные и антиоксидантные действия волчьего белка гидролизата (LPH) как in vitro, так и in vivo. Поэтому цель этого

Unfavorable transcriptome profiles and social disadvantage in hematopoietic cell transplantation: a CIBMTR analysis.

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) capture subjective social determinants of health (SDOHs), which can affect health outcomes through the stress response pathway. The conserved transcriptional response to adversity (CTRA) is a stress-mediated proinflammatory transcriptomic pattern that has been linked to adverse hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) outcomes. This study examined the association of pretransplant CTRA with patient-reported SDOHs in allogeneic HCT recipients. In this cross-sectional study, pre-HCT SDOH-related PROs included the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and the Functional Asse

Incivility Is Associated with Burnout and Reduced Compassion Satisfaction: A Mixed-Method Study to Identify Causes of Burnout among Oncology Clinical Research Coordinators.

While oncology clinical research coordinators (CRCs) experience a combination of factors that are thought to put them at increased risk for burnout, very little research has been conducted to understand the risk factors associated with burnout among CRCs. We used a mixed-method approach, including self-report questionnaires to assess burnout and compassion satisfaction, as well as individual and interpersonal variables hypothesized to impact CRC well-being. We also conducted a focus group to gain a more nuanced understanding of coordinators' experiences around burnout, teamwork, resilience, an

Late decisions about treatment limitation in patients with cancer: empirical analysis of end-of-life practices in a haematology and oncology unit at a German university hospital.

BackgroundDecisions to limit treatment (DLTs) are important to protect patients from overtreatment but constitute one of the most ethically challenging situations in oncology practice. In the Ethics Policy for Advance Care Planning and Limiting Treatment study (EPAL), we examined how often DLT preceded a patient's death and how early they were determined before (T1) and after (T2) the implementation of an intrainstitutional ethics policy on DLT.MethodsThis prospective quantitative study recruited 1.134 patients with haematological/oncological neoplasia in a period of 2×6 months at the Universi
