Algae-Derived Bioactive Compounds as Platforms for Translational Biotechnology and Health Applications.

Marine macroalgae, microalgae, and associated microorganisms are increasingly recognised as valuable sources of bioactive compounds with applications across biotechnology and health. The environmental and ecological conditions they inhabit shape their metabolite diversity, leading to the production of high-value compounds such as sulphated polysaccharides, lipids, pigments, phenolics, and peptides. These compounds exhibit conserved biological activities that underpin potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, and pro-regenerative effects with strong potential for translation. Although e

Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (CAP) as a New Tool for the Management of Vulva Cancer and Vulvar Premalignant Lesions in Gynaecological Oncology.

Vulvar cancer (VC) is a specific form of malignancy accounting for 5-6% of all gynaecologic malignancies. Although VC occurs most commonly in women after 60 years of age, disease incidence has risen progressively in premenopausal women in recent decades. VC demonstrates particular features requiring well-adapted therapeutic approaches to avoid potential treatment-related complications. Significant improvements in disease-free survival and overall survival rates for patients diagnosed with post-stage I disease have been achieved by implementing a combination therapy consisting of radical surgic

Comparison of different concentrations of a povidone iodine-diluted sitz bath in the prevention of perianal infection in patients undergoing chemotherapy for hematological malignancy: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

BackgroundInfection is one of the most common causes of death in patients with hematological malignancies during chemotherapy. Due to its special location, local warmth and humidity, repeated pollution with stool and urine, and characteristically wrinkled anatomical structure within which bacteria can hide, the perianal becomes a site with a high incidence of infection. Such infection also has a high recurrence rate and high mortality, increasing the economic burden of patients, delaying the time of treatment and reducing the quality of life. In severe cases, sepsis occurs and endangers the pa

Early Diagnosis of Herpes Zoster Neuralgia: A Narrative Review.

BACKGROUND: Early intervention reduces the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Typical shingles are easy to diagnose; however, there is no clear diagnostic method for neuralgia symptoms manifested before the onset of the rash, which can easily cause misdiagnosis. This not only increases the patient's pain, medical expenses, and mental burden, but more importantly, delays the valuable time for early treatment of shingles, and increases the probability of complications and PHN. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, the diagnostic methods of preherpetic neuralgia were summarized and analyzed, and the

Evaluation of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Guidance for Patients With Spinal Metastasis.

Surgery continues to remain the most effective treatment for spinal metastasis (SM). As the number of surgeries continues to grow, the need for consensus guidelines for optimal perioperative care is imperative. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols were created for this purpose. The objective of this study is to review evidence-based ERAS guidelines for SM surgery. A group of multiple experienced spine surgeons was invited to participate in this study. This group identified 19 ERAS items for SM surgery. The principal literature search utilized MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases

Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection after corticosteroid therapy: a report of two cases.

Two cases of Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection are described. Both patients were expatriates from the Indian subcontinent, and reported the use of corticosteroids. The first patient presented with severe pulmonary disease that necessitated respiratory support, followed by acute abdomen and intestinal obstruction and he succumbed to these diseases. The second patient also presented with acute pulmonary disease, which responded to antihelmintic treatment and supportive care; however, he died later due to his primary disease. The clinical features of S stercoralis hyperinfection are nonspe

Neisseria meningitidis Induced Fatal Waterhouse-Friderichsen Syndrome in a Patient Presenting With Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation and Multiple Organ Failure.

Neisseria meningitidis-induced acute systemic meningococcal disease is an emergency and a fatal condition that has a high mortality rate. In patients with a fulminant infection, a maculopapular petechial eruption, purpura fulminans, or an ecchymotic lesion are worrisome signs reflecting disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and hint at Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome (WFS). Here, we describe a rare case of a patient with a fulminant Neisseria meningitidis-induced acute systemic meningococcal disease presenting with high-grade fever without meningitis symptoms. Fatal septicemia with DIC

Тирапазамин, загруженный CalliSfheres микросферы: подготовка и характеристика как химомболизационный агент для рака печени.

Тирапазамин (TPZ), гипоксикоксический цитотоксичный агент, доказал, что он осуществляет синергическую деятельность по уничтожению опухоли с транскатерской эмболизацией (TAE) против рака печени. Это позволяет TPZ перейти к транскатетерной терапии рака печени, особенно в сочетании с микросферами, поглощающими наркотики. Мы описываем методы подготовки и характеристики загруженных TPZ микросфер (CSMTPZ) с точки зрения их свойств в качестве химемболизирующего агента, включая 1) подготовка КШМТПЗ и определение уровня загрузки наркотиков, 2) определение витро высвобождения ТЗТ, 3) оценка размера и вн

Cryoglobulin Test and Cryoglobulinemia Hepatitis C-Virus Related.

Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins that precipitate in serum at temperatures below 37°C and resolubilize upon warming. The clinical syndrome of cryoglobulinemia usually includes purpura, weakness, and arthralgia, but the underlying disease may also contribute other symptoms. Blood samples for cryoglobulin are collected, transported, clotted and spun at 37°C, before the precipitate is allowed to form when serum is stored at 4°C in a Wintrobe tube for at least seven days. The most critical and confounding factor affecting the cryoglobulin test is when the preanalytical phase is not fully complete

Engraftment Syndrome After Second Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Myeloma: A Case Report.

Engraftment syndrome (ES) is a rare but challenging posttransplant complication, presenting during or after absolute neutrophil recovery. It may easily be confused with febrile infectious complications since its main clinical features include fever, extensive skin rash, diarrhea, and atypical pulmonary infiltrates. Its pathophysiology and potential trigger factors remain not well understood. An immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids represents the standard treatment, and most cases present a rapid resolution of symptoms after treatment initiation. Still, in cases of severe presentation

Evaluation of transfusion pyrexia: a review of differential diagnosis and management.

Background/purpose. Transfusion pyrexia (fever) is an important clinical sign/symptom occurring either as an isolated event or as part of a constellation of signs and symptoms in relation to blood transfusion. It is an important cause of morbidity and may be an important sign of life-threatening complications of blood transfusion. Pyrexia is often a reason for the discontinuation of a blood transfusion episode, and adequate evaluation remains a challenge for clinicians. The decision to stop a blood transfusion episode on account of fever is often a difficult one. This paper reviews the differe

A Review on the Multidisciplinary Approach for Cancer Management in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: A Focus on Nutritional, Lifestyle and Supportive Care.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of global morbidity and mortality and one of the most challenging global health conditions, impacting the lives of millions every year. The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is not on track to achieve the sustainable development goal (SDG) target 3.4 which aims to reduce premature mortality (i.e., before the age of 70 years) for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cancer, by a third by year 2030; instead, it is projected that the EMR will experience the least progress towards achieving this target. This review therefore highlights the importance of

Сыворотка иммуноактивности к нейрофильтрации показывает высокую чувствительность и специфичность у пациентов с болезнью Бехчета.

БОДЖЕКЦЫ: Болезнь Бехчета (БД) является сложным васкулитом с аутоиммунным и ауто-воспалительным характеристиками. Несмотря на конкретные клинические особенности, не существует лабораторных тестов для диагностики БД. Недавно мы обнаружили, что BD sera демонстрировала иммуноактивность против нейрофильтрованного среднего белка (NF-M). Цель этого исследования состояла в том, чтобы воспроизвести этот вывод в независимой когорте и оценить специфичность и чувствительность NF-иммуноактивности в образцах сыворотки, полученных от пациентов БД, пациентов с систематическими волчанками (SLE), множественных

Pruritus in Systemic Diseases: A Review of Etiological Factors and New Treatment Modalities.

Pruritus is the most frequently described symptom in dermatology and can significantly impair the patient's quality of life. In 10-50% of adults with persistent pruritus, it can be an important dermatologic clue for the presence of a significant underlying systemic disease such as renal insufficiency, cholestasis, hematologic disorder, or malignancy (Etter and Myers, 2002; Zirwas and Seraly, 2001). This review describes the presence of pruritus in different systemic diseases. It is quite important to discover the cause of pruritus for providing relief for the patients experiencing substantial
