Can Some Anticancer Drugs Be Repurposed to Treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis? A Brief Narrative Review.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare progressive motor neuron disease that, due to its high complexity, still lacks effective treatments. Development of a new drug is a highly costly and time-consuming process, and the repositioning of approved drugs can represent an efficient strategy to provide therapeutic opportunities. This is particularly true for rare diseases, which are characterised by small patient populations and therefore attract little commercial interest. Based on the overlap between the biological background of cancer and neurodegeneration, the repurposing of antineoplas

Healing Environments for Cancer Care: Toward a Patient-Centered Design Guideline for Inpatient Settings.

ObjectivesThis study proposes an evidence-based design guideline for oncology inpatient rooms that addresses the physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs of cancer patients.BackgroundCancer inpatients frequently experience long hospital stays with emotional vulnerability and clinical stress. Growing evidence suggests environmental design can shape patient experience, comfort, and recovery. Yet, current literature lacks an integrated framework for the spatial and sensory needs of this population.MethodA systematic literature review was conducted across Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.

Targeting BCL-XL in fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare and often lethal liver cancer with no proven effective systemic therapy. Inhibition of the antiapoptotic protein BCL-XL was found to synergize with a variety of systemic therapies in vitro using cells dissociated from patient-derived xenografts (PDX) of FLC or cells dissociated directly from surgical patient resections. As BCL-XL is physiologically expressed in platelets, prior efforts to leverage this vulnerability in other cancers have been hampered by severe thrombocytopenia. To overcome this toxicity, we treated FLC models with DT2216,

Second-Class Care: How Immigration Law Transforms Clinical Practice in the Safety Net.

This article examines how U.S. immigration law extends into the health care safety net, enacting medical legal violence that diminishes noncitizens' health chances and transforms clinical practices. Drawing on interviews with health care workers in three U.S. states from 2015 to 2020, I ask how federal citizenship-based exclusions within an already stratified health care system shape the clinical trajectories of noncitizens in safety-net institutions. Focusing specifically on cancer care, I find that increasingly anti-immigrant federal policies often reshape clinical practices toward noncitize

The Rate of Infusion Represents an Important Aspect of Administering Anticancer Agents.

BackgroundInfusion rate is one of the essential elements that should be included in all intravenous orders. Patients may experience adverse consequences or risks associated with inappropriate infusion. Meanwhile, there is growing pressure on the chemotherapy unit to deliver treatment quickly, efficiently, and safely, and thus it is very necessary to improve the chemotherapy process and service to cancer patients. Clinicians should consider how to further standardize infusion therapy, and innovate new infusion strategies to increase efficacy, reduce toxicity, improve patient satisfaction and sa

Breaking the obesity-cancer link: assessing European school-based and complementary obesity-prevention strategies and their implementation obstacles

Nowadays, obesity among children and adolescents is considered an additional factor in cancer development during adulthood. These facts are supported by current epidemiological studies. To address these challenges, a wide range of obesity prevention programmes have been launched in Europe, promoting actions for personalized healthy dietary behaviors, physical exercise, and combinations of both, often using e-health platforms. Another pillar of interventions is school-based policies, such as limiting access to high-fat and high-sugar foods or providing healthy food vouchers, which represent ano

Genetic factors and management strategies in aortic health: a literature review of inherited aortopathy.

Inherited aortopathies, including Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Loeys-Dietz syndrome, are genetic disorders characterized by structural abnormalities of the aorta that predispose individuals to life-threatening complications like aneurysms and dissections. These conditions result from mutations in genes essential for maintaining aortic wall integrity, such as FBN1, TGFBR1, and COL3A1, affecting extracellular matrix components and the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway. Marfan syndrome has a prevalence of approximately 1 in 5000, while Loeys-Dietz syndrome and vascul

Critically ill patients with cancer: chances and limitations of intensive care medicine-a narrative review.

This narrative review deals with the challenge of defining adequate therapy goals and intensive care unit (ICU) admission criteria for critically ill patients with cancer. Several specific complications of critically ill patients with cancer require close collaborations of intensive care and cancer specialists. Intensivists require a basic understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of common cancer-specific problems. Cancer specialists must be knowledgeable in preventing, detecting and treating imminent or manifest organ failures. In case of one or more organ dysfunctions, ICU

Взгляд румынских пациентов на непрерывную терапию миеломы.

UNLABELLED: В последние годы изменилась парадигма лечения множественной миэломы (ММ), поскольку непрерывная терапия становится стандартом ухода за вновь диагностированными и рецидивированными пациентами. Хотя не вызывает сомнений тот факт, что непрерывная терапия принесла большую пользу как без прогрессирования, так и с точки зрения общего выживания, до сих пор не ясно, какова точка зрения пациентов на этот терапевтический подход. МЕТОДЫ: Это исследование включало в себя 155 Взрослые пациенты ММ из Клинического института Фундэни в Румынии получают непрерывную терапию с помощью дратумумаба, про

An exploration of person-centred approach in end-of-life care policies in England and Japan.

BackgroundIncreasing evidence has suggested that a person-centred approach (PCA) is beneficial not only for improving care outcomes but also for mitigating the pressure on public health systems. However, policy implementation gaps have prevented the translation of this complex framework into useful practical, ethical and moral stances for end-of-life care (EOLC). This article aims to explore the meaning and implications of person-centredness in EOLC policy discourses.MethodsBy perceiving policy documents as a medium embodied with socio-political and cultural norms, we analysed how PCA in EOLC

Experience of life quality from patients with aplastic anemia: a descriptive qualitative study.

BackgroundDespite the increasing incidence of aplastic anemia in China, few studies have explored its effect on the patients' quality of life from the perspective of these patients. In fact, patients with aplastic disorder live with the disease for a long time, and need to face a variety of difficult realities, including multiple disease symptoms and drug side effects, heavy burden of medical costs, difficulties in social reintegration, and negative emotional distress. Therefore, this study used descriptive qualitative research to explore the direct and rich quality-of-life experiences of pati

Current State of the Art and Prospects of T Cell-Redirecting Bispecific Antibodies in Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) patients eventually develop multi-drug-resistant disease with poor survival. Hence, the development of novel treatment strategies is of great importance. Recently, different classes of immunotherapeutic agents have shown great promise in heavily pre-treated MM, including T cell-redirecting bispecific antibodies (BsAbs). These BsAbs simultaneously interact with CD3 on effector T cells and a tumor-associated antigen on MM cells, resulting in redirection of T cells to MM cells. This leads to the formation of an immunologic synapse, the release of granzymes/perforins, and sub

Эволюционно сохраненная созвездие функциональных резинов программирует реагирующую на вирус судьбу человека (эпи)генома.

Здоровье человека зависит от запутанной защитной клеточной реакции на микробные патогены, такие как вирусы. Несмотря на предпринятые значительные усилия, (эпи)геномические механизмы, используемые клетками человека для адаптации программ защитного генного экспрессия к микробным атакам, по-прежнему недостаточно изучены, главным образом из-за значительного отсутствия регистрации в vivo функциональных модулей резного регулирования (КРМ) генома человека. Здесь мы представляем реагирующую на вирус судьбу человека (эпи)генома, описываемого в наивных и инфицированных клетках функциональными геномами,
