Medical Ozone Treatment Attenuates Male Reproductive Toxicity Induced by Bleomycin, Etoposide, and Cisplatin Regimen in an Experimental Animal Model.

The chemotherapeutic combination of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) is well-documented to exert gonadotoxic effects, ultimately leading to impaired fertility. This experimental rat study investigated the potential protective role of repeated medical ozone therapy in mitigating the deleterious effects of BEP treatment in male rats. Thirty-two adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: (i) a healthy control group, (ii) a group receiving injections of the BEP regimen over nine weeks, (iii) a group receiving the same BEP regimen plus medical ozone (1 mg/kg IP)

Relation of Cognitive Impairment with Number of Acute Exacerbations and Serum Level of VEGF among COPD Patients.

BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a main cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Its complications are numerous and one of their most common extra-pulmonary ones is cognitive impairment which is directly related to its mortality and morbidity. A decrease in cerebral perfusion in these patients had been seen in previous studies considering the role of VEGF on angiogenesis and its role in the pathogenesis of COPD. This study was done to evaluate the relation of cognitive impairment with serum VEGF and the number of COPD exacerbations.Materials and methodsIn the pre

Survival with optimal medical management in a cohort of severe necrotizing bacterial lung infections.

BACKGROUND: Necrotizing pneumonia and lung gangrene represent a continuum of severe lung infection. Traditionally, severe cases have been referred for surgical debridement. However, this has been linked to high mortality. Some groups have published encouraging results using a conservative medical approach. Unfortunately, lack of a standardized definition of necrotizing pneumonia has precluded meaningful comparison between medical and surgical approach in severe cases. Our objective was to describe the outcome of a cohort of severe necrotizing pneumonia treated with optimal medical management.

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics and metabolomics in multiple myeloma: a systematic review of prognostic biomarkers and minimal residual disease monitoring.

INTRODUCTION: Current multiple myeloma (MM) risk stratification, anchored on the Revised International Staging System (R-ISS), provides a static snapshot of disease but fails to capture its dynamic biological evolution, functional tumor-microenvironment crosstalk, and real-time treatment response. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic and metabolomic profiling has emerged as a high-sensitivity tool for both novel biomarker discovery and minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. This systematic review evaluates the independent prognostic value and clinical utility of quantitative MS-based pro

Molecular imaging in oncology: Common PET/CT radiopharmaceuticals and applications.

PET/CT is a commonly used modality in cancer imaging, as it can help in diagnosis, staging and assessment of treatment response in many cancer types. A better understanding of the tumor microenvironment and identification of multiple selective targets are promoting further investigation into different radiotracers for diagnosis and therapy. In the past few decades many radiopharmaceuticals have emerged for specific oncologic indications providing superior detection rate than some morphologic modalities. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the most current radiopharmaceuticals

Recognition and management of persistent chylomicronemia: A joint expert clinical consensus by the National Lipid Association and the American Society for Preventive Cardiology.

Extreme hypertriglyceridemia, defined as triglyceride (TG) levels ≥1000 mg/dL, is almost always indicative of chylomicronemia. The current diagnostic approach categorizes individuals with chylomicronemia into familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS; prevalence 1-10 per million), caused by the biallelic combination of pathogenic variants that impair the lipolytic action of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), or multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS, 1 in 500). A pragmatic framework should emphasize the severity of the phenotype and the risk of complications. Therefore, we endorse the term "persiste

Emerging B-Cell Therapies in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, multisystem, autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, whose hallmark is the production of autoantibodies. B cells are promising targets for novel SLE therapies. In 2011, belimumab (Benlysta®), a fully humanized monoclonal antibody inhibiting B-cell activation and proliferation, was the first medication in 50 years to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat adult SLE. This review discusses the current experience with B-cell-targeted therapies, including those targeting B-cell-surface antigens (rituximab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab

Glatiramer Acetate модифицирует иммунные портреты моноцито-супружеских клеток in Vitro без последствий для их поколения.

Глатирамер ацетат (GA) является первой строевой терапией для повторного выброса множественных склерозов (MS) и все чаще демонстрирует многообещающие терапевтические выгоды в ряде других условий. Несмотря на его широкое применение, точный фармакологический механизм ГА остается неясным. Помимо клеток T и B, дендритные клетки (DC) и моноциты играют важную роль в нейроинфламации, связанной с MS, позиционируя их в качестве потенциальных первоначальных целей для GA. Здесь мы изучили влияние GA на дифференциацию моноцитов человека от здоровых доноров к моноцитным дендритным клеткам (MODC) и оценили и

Novel Immune-Related Gene Signature for Risk Stratification and Prognosis of Survival in ER (+) and/or PR (+) and HER2 (-) Breast Cancer.

Background: Although intrinsic molecular subtype has been widely used, there remains great clinical heterogeneity of prognosis in the estrogen receptor (ER)- and/or progesterone receptor (PR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer (BC). Methods: The transcriptome expression data of messenger RNA (mRNA) were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC), and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Immune-related genes were acquired from the ImmPort database and additional

Utility of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Light Chain Amyloidosis Caused by Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma (Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia).

Of the variety of immunoglobulin related amyloidosis (AL), immunoglobulin M (IgM) related AL represents only 6 to 10% of affected patients, and the majority of these cases are associated with underlying non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma including Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM). Ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib are Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors approved for certain indolent B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). BTK is a nonreceptor kinase involved in B-cell survival, proliferation, and interaction with the microenvironment. We retrospectively evaluated the tolerability and effecti

The Conundrum of Cancer-Associated Thrombosis: Lesson Learned from Two Intriguing Cases and Literature Review.

The correlation between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is solid, whereas the knowledge about cancer-related arterial thromboembolism (ATE) still needs a deeper investigation to clarify its pathogenesis. We describe two cases that represent useful hints for a comprehensive review of the thrombotic issue. A 75-year-old man with advanced rectal cancer treated with fluoropyrimidines suffered two catheter-related VTE events managed according to current guidelines. There was no indication for "extended" anticoagulant therapy for him, but during antithrombotic wash-out and fluoropyrimidines

ЦЕЛИ: Поскольку в Венгрии проводились лишь региональные исследования по вопросу о распространенности множественного склероза (МС), мы стремились оценить его эпидемиологические особенности с использованием данных венгерской системы медицинского страхования с одним плательщиком. МЕТОДЫ: Псевудонимная база данных о жалобах, представленных больницами и амбулаторными службами в период между 2004-2016 был проанализирован и увязан с независимой базой данных о заправке амбулаторными аптеками 2010-2016. Мы установили административное определение MS и подтвердили его на медицинских записях 309 Последова

Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Contemporary Review of Medical and Surgical Therapy.

Amyloidosis is a systemic disease initiated by deposition of misfolded proteins in the extracellular space, due to which multiple organs may be affected concomitantly. Cardiac amyloidosis, however, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in this population due to infiltrative /restrictive cardiomyopathy. This review attempts to focus on contemporary medical and surgical therapies for the different types of cardiac amyloidosis. Amyloidosis affecting the heart are predominantly of the transthyretin type (acquired in the older or genetic in the younger patients), and the monoclonal immun

Antibody-Drug Conjugates: Ushering in a New Era of Cancer Therapy.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have provided new therapeutic options and significant promise for patients with cancer, particularly where existing treatments are limited. Substantial effort in ADC development is underway globally, with 13 ADCs currently approved and many more in development. The therapeutic benefits of ADCs leverage the ability to selectively target cancer cells through antibody binding, resultant relative sparing of non-malignant tissues, and the targeted delivery of a cytotoxic payload. Consequently, this drug class has demonstrated activity in multiple malignancies refract
