Antidepressant Drug Sertraline against Human Cancer Cells.

The use of FDA-approved drugs for new indications represents a faster and more economical way to find novel therapeutic agents for cancer therapy, compared to the development of new drugs. Repurposing drugs is advantageous in a pharmacological context since these drugs already have extensive data related to their pharmacokinetics, facilitating their approval process for different diseases. Several studies have reported the promising anticancer effects of sertraline, both alone and combined, in different types of cancer cell lines. Here, we performed a literature review on the anticancer potent

Long-Term Results of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) for Adults with Blood Disorders- A Systematic Review.

Both autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantations are widely used as a standard of care or significant clinical option in treating various malignant and non-malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system. The value of these treatment methods would be better assessed through the review of long-term progression-free and overall survival (PFS and OS) rates, which are highly dependent on the primary diagnosis and stage of disease at the time of transplantation as well as on the specific type of used transplantation procedure. While the best (over 90%) 5-, 10- and 15-year survival rates are

Anti-Infective-Associated AKI: A Narrative Review of the Epidemiology, Mechanisms, Risk Factors, Biomarkers, Clinical Course, Monitoring, Prevention, and Therapeutic Strategies.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly in hospitalized patients, especially patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Medications are among the major causative factors of AKI. This narrative review addressed and updated different aspects of anti-infective-associated AKI, including amphotericin B, cidofovir, foscarnet, polymyxins, vancomycin, and aminoglycosides. There is no standard definition or operational criteria to describe anti-infective-associated AKI. Characteristically, it usually occurs during the first two weeks of treatment and is typically dose dependent. Functional resolution o

Global welfare burden of hematologic malignancies from 2015 to 2023.

Hematologic malignancies cause premature mortality and disability across the life course, but their welfare burden is difficult to compare across countries. We monetized global burden of disease (GBD) 2023 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for major hematologic malignancies in 188 countries from 2015 to 2023 using a value of lost welfare framework incorporating purchasing power parity adjusted gross domestic product (GDP), income transfer, age-specific valuation, and discounting. Global leukemia-related value of lost welfare (VLW) increased from US$1.40 trillion to US$1.70 trillion, while

This article outlines the CAR T-cell therapy process, toxicity, and complications, along with an overview of the currently known short- and long-term physical and functional sequelae that will be helpful for general or oncology rehabilitation specialists caring for these patients. RECENT FINDINGS: There is a dearth of literature on the topic of rehabilitation of patient

Metastatic Spread in Prostate Cancer Patients Influencing Radiotherapy Response.

Radiotherapy and surgery are curative treatment options for localized prostate cancer (PCa) with a 5-year survival rate of nearly 100%. Once PCa cells spread into distant organs, such as bone, the overall survival rate of patients drops dramatically. The metastatic cascade and organotropism of PCa cells are regulated by different cellular subtypes, organ microenvironment, and their interactions. This cross-talk leads to pre-metastatic niche formation that releases chemo-attractive factors enforcing the formation of distant metastasis. Biological characteristics of PCa metastasis impacting on m

Promising Experimental Treatments for Lupus Nephritis: Key Talking Points and Potential Opportunities.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a frequent and serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), impairing patients' quality of life and significantly increasing mortality. Despite optimizing the use of conventional immunosuppressants and other biological drugs, its management remains unsatisfactory. This is mainly due to the heterogeneity of SLE, but also to insufficiently effective treatment regimens and clinical trial limitations (strict criteria, low number of patients included, and side effects). Most clinical trials of new biological therapies have failed to meet their primary endpoint

Recent Advances in Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) for Cancer Diagnosis, Target Drug Delivery, and Treatment.

Cancer is regarded as one of the most deadly and mirthless diseases and it develops due to the uncontrolled proliferation of cells. To date, varieties of traditional medications and chemotherapies have been utilized to fight tumors. However, their immense drawbacks, such as reduced bioavailability, insufficient supply, and significant adverse effects, make their use limited. Nanotechnology has evolved rapidly in recent years and offers a wide spectrum of applications in the healthcare sectors. Nanoscale materials offer strong potential for curing cancer as they pose low risk and fewer complica

Emerging insights into the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and its implications for glioblastoma immunotherapy.

Glioblastoma is considered the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. Despite tremendous progress in glioblastoma therapeutics, the profound intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity of glioblastoma tumors, the difficulty of agents to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the development of drug resistance as well as the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) predominantly account for the failure of existing conventional and targeted therapies. Therefore, there is a growing necessity to decipher the complexity of the TME that promotes immunosuppression and to discover innovative stra

People Living with HIV Eligibility in Canadian Cancer Clinical Trials.

Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) have historically been excluded from cancer clinical trials, prompting the 2017 ASCO-Friends of Cancer Research recommendations to limit unjustified exclusions and promote equitable access. This study evaluated how Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) protocols align with these recommendations. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional review of CCTG active trial protocols, abstracting HIV eligibility language and trial characteristics, and assessing associations using Chi-square tests. Results: Of 136 trials activated between 1999 and 2025, 81.6% involve

The contribution of Cyprus to non-communicable diseases and biomedical research from 2002 to 2013: implications for evidence-based health policy.

BackgroundNon-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of disease burden and mortality at the European level and in Cyprus. This research was conducted to map the research activities of Cypriot institutions in five NCDs, namely oncology, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, mental health and respiratory conditions.MethodsFor the period 2002-2013, research in Cyprus was assessed on its biomedical outputs and compared to the rest of Europe relative to their GDP. The research output in the five NCDs was obtained and contrasted to their respective disease burdens. The results from each of

Orthogonal targeting of osteoclasts and myeloma cells for radionuclide stimulated dynamic therapy induces multidimensional cell death pathways.

Rationale: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a multifocal malignancy of bone marrow plasma cells, characterized by vicious cycles of remission and relapse that eventually culminate in death. The disease remains mostly incurable largely due to the complex interactions between the bone microenvironment (BME) and MM cells (MMC). In the "vicious cycle" of bone disease, abnormal activation of osteoclasts (OCs) by MMC causes severe osteolysis, promotes immune evasion, and stimulates the growth of MMC. Disrupting these cancer-stroma interactions would enhance treatment response. Methods: To disrupt this cycle

Генетический риск нейродегенеративных заболеваний связан с микрогилевыми путями, учитывающими конкретные заболевания.

Исследования, проведенные в рамках общегеномной ассоциации, выявили тысячи общих вариантов, связанных с повышенным риском нейродегенеративных расстройств. Однако некодирование этих вариантов затруднило назначение целевых генов для типов мозговых клеток. Геномические подходы, которые определяют хромосомную 3D-архитектуру, могут увязать некодирующие варианты риска и дистальные элементы регулирования генов, такие, как усилители, с пропагандистами генов. Используя карты улучшения взаимодействия для микроглии, нейронов и олигодендроцитов, мы определили конкретное обогащение генетической наследствен

Psychometric Properties of the Persian Self-Advocacy in Cancer Survivorship Scale (SACS-P) in Iran.

BackgroundSelf-advocacy is crucial for cancer patients, as it allows them to express their needs and engage in treatment decisions. This skill enhances the quality of care and life satisfaction. Accurately measuring self-advocacy and supporting patients with lower skills is essential to improving treatment outcomes and promoting patient-centered care. Accurate measurement of self-advocacy is vital for identifying patients with lower skills and providing support to enhance treatment outcomes and patient-centered care. This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian ve
