Hidrox® Counteracts Cyclophosphamide-Induced Male Infertility through NRF2 Pathways in a Mouse Model.

BACKGROUND: Every year, men use cyclophosphamide to treat various cancers and autoimmune diseases. On the one hand, this chemotherapy often has the beneficial effect of regressing the tumor, but on the other hand, it leads to infertility due to excessive oxidative stress and apoptosis in the testes caused by its metabolite, acrolein. METHODS: The objective of this study was to evaluate the beneficial power of a new compound called Hidrox®, containing 40-50% hydroxytyrosol, in counteracting the damage related to fertility induced by cyclophosphamide. The study was conducted using a single intr

Recent advances in management of COVID-19: A review.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused and is still causing significant mortality and economic consequences all over the globe. As of today, there are three U.S Food and Drug administration (FDA) approved vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. Also, the antiviral drug remdesivir and two combinations of monoclonal antibodies are authorized for Emergency use (EUA) in certain patients. Furthermore, baricitinib was approved in Japan (April 23, 2021). Despite available vaccines and EUA, pharmacological therapy for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 i

Cellular senescence-from solid organs to vascularized composite allotransplants.

Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has emerged as a novel therapy approach to restore form and function in patients with severe tissue defects of the face, hand, and abdominal wall, among other anatomical regions. The composite allografts comprise different tissues such as skin, muscle, or bone. Clinical data demonstrate promising mid- and long-term outcomes following VCA surgery, but our understanding of the cellular interactions and molecular pathways in VCA surgery is oftentimes deduced from solid organ transplantation (SOT). In SOT, the concept of cellular senescence has grow

Artificial Intelligence Resources for the Screening of Titles and Abstracts in Systematic Reviews: A Scoping Review.

IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of technology enabling machines to emulate complex human skills; it can also entail problem-solving using bioinspired methods. It is used for automating systematic literature reviews (SLR), that is, defining a clinical question, locating relevant literature, preliminary screening, study evaluation, data extraction and analysis. Title and abstract screening is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone phases involved in developing a systematic review. While AI promises to expedite this process, adopting it faces challenges due to concern

Therapeutic drug monitoring for cytotoxic anticancer drugs: Principles and evidence-based practices.

Cytotoxic drugs are highly efficacious and also have low therapeutic index. A great degree of caution needs to be exercised in their usage. To optimize the efficacy these drugs need to be given at maximum tolerated dose which leads to significant amount of toxicity to the patient. The fine balance between efficacy and safety is the key to the success of cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. However, it is possibly more rewarding to obtain that balance for this class drugs as the frequency of drug related toxicities are higher compared to the other therapeutic class and are potentially life threatening

Cancer status in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: types; incidence; mortality; sex, age, and geography distribution; and possible causes.

Cancer is a disease in which some cells of the body grow uncontrollably and occasionally spread to other parts of the body. With a group of more than 100 different types, cancer can start almost anywhere in the body. Defective cells may form a mass called a tumor which can be cancerous (malignant), which grows and spreads to other parts of the body, or benign that can grow but not spread throughout the body. In 2021, more than 10 million people died of cancer worldwide (1 out of 6 deaths). This paper has thoroughly investigated the cancer status in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), i

Advances in Molecular Regulation of Prostate Cancer Cells by Top Natural Products of Malaysia.

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains both a global health burden and a scientific challenge. We present a review of the molecular targets driving current drug discovery to fight this disease. Moreover, the preventable nature of most PCa cases represents an opportunity for phytochemicals as chemopreventive when adequately integrated into nutritional interventions. With a renovated interest in natural remedies as a commodity and their essential role in cancer drug discovery, Malaysia is looking towards capitalizing on its mega biodiversity, which includes the oldest rainforest in the world and an estim

Epidemiology of infections in cancer patients.

Although major advances in the care of cancer patients over the past several decades have resulted in improved survival, infectious complications remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. To successfully identify, treat, and prevent infections, a comprehensive understanding of risk factors that predispose to infection and of commonly encountered pathogens is necessary. In addition, clinicians must keep abreast of the changing epidemiology of infections in this population. As therapeutic modalities continue to evolve, as established pathogens become increasingly drug resistant, and

HBV Reactivation During the Treatment of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Management Strategies.

Hepatitis B virus reactivation (HBV-R), which can lead to HBV-related morbidity and mortality, is a common and well-known complication that occurs during the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients with current or past exposure to HBV infection. HBV-R is thought to be closely associated with chemotherapeutic or immunosuppressive therapies. However, immunosuppressive agents such as anti-CD20 antibodies (e.g., rituximab and ofatumumab), glucocorticoids, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) administered to NHL patients during treatment can cause deep immunodepression and pl

Beyond SINS: A Critical Review of Biomechanical, Microstructural, and Radiomic Biomarkers for Predicting Fracture Risk in Spinal Metastases

Background/Objectives: Although the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) is widely used to estimate spinal metastases fracture risk and guide decisions on stabilisation procedures, prior studies have demonstrated mixed results. Patients with the same score exhibit clinically heterogeneous outcomes, with some SINS criteria correlating less well with the estimated fracture risk than others. There are also barriers to implementation such as the time burden required for manual calculation and interobserver variability associated with qualitative morphological criteria. SINS also lacks sensit

Skeletal muscle dysfunction induced by cancer immunotherapy: mechanistics insights and surgical implications.

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, yet its effects extend far beyond tumor eradication. Accumulating evidence indicates that immunotherapy-associated skeletal muscle dysfunction represents a complex, cross-organ pathological process driven by dynamic crosstalk between the tumor microenvironment and peripheral tissues. Rather than an isolated adverse event, muscle injury emerges from integrated mechanisms including inflammatory cytokine spillover, aberrant immune cell infiltration, metabolic reprogramming, vascular dysfunction, and impaired regenerative signaling. Central

Breaking the Feedback Loop: A Model of Vicious Cycle for CIPN and Acupuncture-Medication Combination.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and often debilitating complication of cancer therapy, whose chronicity and refractoriness cannot be adequately explained by traditional linear etiological models. This review proposes and organizes a "vicious cycle" model as a hypothesis: initial neuronal injury caused by chemotherapeutic agents initiates a self-sustaining positive feedback loop in which mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress reciprocally amplify each other, thereby activating neuroinflammation and ion channel remodeling. These processes collectively dri

Role of autophagy in cholangiocarcinoma: An autophagy-based treatment strategy.

Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are diverse biliary epithelial tumours involving the intrahepatic, perihilar and distal parts of the biliary tree. The three entirely variable entities have distinct epidemiology, molecular characteristics, prognosis and strategy for clinical management. However, many cholangiocarcinoma tumor-cells appear to be resistant to current chemotherapeutic agents. The role of autophagy and the therapeutic value of autophagy-based therapy are largely unknown in CCA. The multistep nature of autophagy offers a plethora of regulation points, which are prone to be deregulated and
