The Minderoo-Monaco Commission on Plastics and Human Health.

BACKGROUND: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine, electronics, aerospace, construction, food packaging, and sports. It is now clear, however, that plastics are also responsible for significant harms to human health, the economy, and the earth's environment. These harms occur at every stage of the plastic life cycle, from extraction of the coal, oil, and gas that are its main feedstocks through to ultimate disposal into the environment. The extent of these harms not been

A comprehensive survey of cancer medicines prices, availability and affordability in Ghana.

IntroductionIn Ghana, prices for cancer medicines are characterized by high retail markups, forex fluctuations and high variation in prices of medicines. Most patients cannot afford the cancer medicines. There is a problem of unaffordability and limited availability of essential cancer medicines which suggests potential inequity in patient access to cancer medicines. The study objective was to assess the prices, availability, and affordability of cancer medicines in Ghana. Prices of cancer medicines are a major contributor to the cost of treatment for cancer patients and the comparison of thes

Network analysis of cross-income-level collaboration on multiple myeloma in sub-Saharan Africa.

Cross-income-level collaboration (CILC) is crucial for developing global health approaches that benefit low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Multiple myeloma (MM) is a representative example of a complex, understudied disease in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Based on publications, we developed a network analysis tool to assess scientific collaborations. Here, we present findings from a systematic analysis of publications retrieved from PubMed between January 2002 and June 2022. We evaluated individual institutional contributions and collaboration patterns using undirected weighted networks. O

How we manage medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Bone-modifying agents (BMAs) are integral to managing patients with advanced cancer. They improve quality of survival by reducing skeletal-related events, treating hypercalcaemia and chemotherapy-induced bone loss (Coleman in Clin Cancer Res 12: 6243s-6249s, 2006), (Coleman in Ann Oncol 31: 1650-1663, 2020). Two decades ago, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) was first reported following BMA therapy (Marx in J Oral Maxillofac Surg 61: 1115-1117, 2003). The risk of MRONJ extends over a decade following BMA treatment with bisphosphonates, complicating dental care such as extract

Измерение " углеродного следа " клинических исследований: аналитический обзор инструментов и методов измерения.

Медицинское обслуживание вносит существенный вклад в глобальные выбросы парниковых газов; однако воздействие клинических исследований на окружающую среду по-прежнему недостаточно изучено. Количественная оценка выбросов является необходимым первым шагом на пути к сокращению углеродного следа исследований. С момента создания базы данных до июня 2026 года были проведены обыски PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, EconBiz, GreenFile и ProQuest. В соответствующих исследованиях сообщается об измерении выбросов углерода, связанных с клиническими исследованиями. Данные были составлены и обобщены в

Progress on new drug treatments for hepatic echinococcosis.

Echinococcosis: is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by infection with the larvae of Echinococcus tapeworms. At present, the standardized treatment regimen for this disease consists of radical lesion resection combined with albendazole. For patients who are inoperable or experience postoperative recurrence, the treatment with anti-echinococcosis drugs is particularly crucial. To date, albendazole remains the primary drug clinically used for anti-echinococcosis treatment. However, it has inherent drawbacks such as low bioavailability, poor solubility, long treatment course, and multiple adver

Global Cancer Inequalities.

Social inequalities in cancer are increasingly relevant to research, implementation science, and policy. In this brief perspective we provide an overview of global cancer inequalities by assessing different outcomes according to the Human Development Index (HDI); the HDI is a United Nations Development Programme composite indicator including the following measures: (i) access to education (based on mean and expected years of schooling), (ii) a long and healthy life (based on life expectancy), and (iii) a decent standard of living (based on gross national income per capita). We additionally tou

Cancer incidence attributable to tuberculosis in 2015: global, regional, and national estimates.

BackgroundTuberculosis is associated with increased risk of cancer. However, the impact of tuberculosis on global cancer burden is unknown.MethodsWe performed random-effects meta-analyses and meta-regressions of studies reporting the association between tuberculosis and cancer risks by searching PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library, and CINAHL from inception to 1 June 2019. Population attributable fractions (PAFs) of cancer incidence attributable to tuberculosis were calculated using relative risks from our meta-analyses and tuberculosis prevalence data from Global Health Data Exch

Эффективность неевроиммунной терапии, включая митоксиндолы, ангиотензин 1-7 и эндоканнабиноиды рака, аутоиммунной и нейродегенеративной болезни.

ЦЕЛЬ: Последние достижения в области психо-нейро-эндокринной-иммунологии свидетельствуют о том, что многочисленные неинфекционные заболевания (НИЗ) возникают в результате сбоев в функционировании иммунной сети цитокина, что приводит к хроническим подстрекательским реакциям. Эта устойчивая низколаминированная воспаление объясняется недостатками важнейших внутренних нейроноэндокринных систем против воспаления, включая синусовую железу, эндоканнабиноидную систему и ось ангиотенсина, предотвращающего фермент 2 / ангиотенсина 1-7. Управление сосновыми метоксиндолами (мелатонин, 5-метокситриптамин),

The study also examines the forecasts of the cancer burden for 2040 and evaluates infrastructure availability across all African countries.MethodsThe estimates of age, sex, and country-specific incidence and mortality of 34 neoplasms in 54 African countries, we

"Catch-Up Vaccinations Post-Stem Cell Transplant: A case series and review of the literature".

Stem cell transplantation (SCT), including autologous and allogeneic approaches, is a potentially curative therapy for various hematologic malignancies and selected non-malignant disorders. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is an established curative treatment for hematologic malignancies, including Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), and Multiple Myeloma (MM), but infectious complications remain a major challenge. Vaccination is an essential strategy to reduce the risk of vaccine-preventable infections following transplant. This case series describes immunocompromised

Recommendations for influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccination in elderly people in China.

Influenza and pneumonia can be prevented by vaccination, but they remain major causes of morbidity and mortality in age-related diseases. In most areas of China, the rates of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination are relatively low and public awareness of vaccination remains insufficient. Thus, it is essential to recommend influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccination to elderly people in clinical practice. Based on recently published studies and related documents issued by several vaccination authorities, such as the World Health Organization, the National Health and Wellness Committee,

Risk of depressive symptoms before and after the first hospitalisation for cancer: Evidence from a 16-year cohort study in the Czech Republic.

BackgroundWhether depression risk starts increasing before cancer diagnosis, and whether cancer is an independent risk factor for depression, remain unclear. We aimed to quantify the risk of depressive symptoms before and after the first hospitalisation for cancer (as a proxy for cancer diagnosis) amongst patients with cancer.MethodsWe linked cohort data with national hospitalisation records in the Czech Republic. We followed 1056 incident cancer cases for up to 15 years before and 15 years after the first hospitalisation for cancer. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Centre for Epide

Long-Term Projections of Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Japan and Decomposition Analysis of Changes in Cancer Burden, 2020-2054: An Empirical Validation Approach.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to project new cancer cases/deaths forward to 2054, and decompose changes in cancer cases/deaths to assess the impact of demographic transitions on cancer burden.MethodsWe collected data on cancer cases/deaths up to 2019, empirically validated the projection performance of multiple statistical models, and selected optimal models by applying time series cross-validation.ResultsWe showed an increasing number of new cancer cases but decreasing number of cancer deaths in both genders, with a large burden attributed to population aging. We observed the increasing in

Bridging the gap - Establishing a dental-oncology service in a cancer centre.

Dental disease remains the most common non-communicable disease worldwide. It predisposes patients to significant morbidities following bone modifying agents or radiation therapy to the head and neck. Preventative dental regimes effectively reduce the risk of both medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) and osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in these patients. Co-ordination of routine dental care as a component of mainstream oncology treatment optimises long term outcomes for oncology patients. This case series offers insights into patient, institutional and social difficulties that challeng
