Role of bone-anabolic agents in the treatment of breast cancer bone metastases.

Skeletal metastases are an incurable complication afflicting the majority of patients who die from advanced breast cancer. They are most often osteolytic, characterized by net bone destruction and suppressed new bone formation. Life expectancy from first diagnosis of breast cancer bone metastases is several years, during which time skeletal-related events - including pain, fracture, hypercalcemia, and spinal cord compression - significantly degrade quality of life. The bone marrow niche can also confer hormonal and chemo-resistance. Most treatments for skeletal metastases target bone-destroyin

Epidemiological science and cancer control.

Epidemiological methods are essential for the discovery of cancer risks and prognostic factors as well as for the evaluation of cancer prevention measures. In this review, we discuss epidemiological surveillance procedures for data collection and processing to guide and evaluate the consequences of anticancer efforts for populations, assess the identification of cancer risk factors, examine barriers to cancer screening and recommended rules for early diagnosis programs. Epidemiological studies have shown that hindrances to cancer information assessment are currently encountered in developing c

Beyond Hyperglycemia: The Role of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment-related Cardiac Dysfunction.

Recent data suggest that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have cardioprotective benefits. This effect may extend towards cardioprotection in cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction, with proposed mechanisms extending beyond glycemic control to include anti-inflammatory effects, oxidative stress reduction, and metabolic reprogramming. This review synthesizes potential mechanisms, observational data, and emerging trial evidence to support sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors as a primary prevention strategy for cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction, particularly in anthracy

Current evidence for the treatment of hypothyroidism with levothyroxine/levotriiodothyronine combination therapy versus levothyroxine monotherapy.

ObjectiveHypothyroidism is relatively common, occurring in approximately 5% of the general US population aged ≥12 years. Levothyroxine (LT4) monotherapy is the standard of care. Approximately, 5%-10% of patients who normalise thyroid-stimulating hormone levels with LT4 monotherapy may have persistent symptoms that patients and clinicians may attribute to hypothyroidism. A long-standing debate in the literature is whether addition of levotriiodothyronine (LT3) to LT4 will ameliorate lingering symptoms. Here, we explore the evidence for and against LT4/LT3 combination therapy as the optimal appr

Interactions between kidney disease and diabetes: dangerous liaisons.

BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) globally affects 18-20 % of adults over the age of 65 years. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most frequent and dangerous complications of DM2, affecting about one-third of the patients with DM2. In addition to the pancreas, adipocytes, liver, and intestines, the kidneys also play an important role in glycemic control, particularly due to renal contribution to gluconeogenesis and tubular reabsorption of glucose.MethodsIn this review article, based on a report of discussions from an interdisciplinary group of experts in the areas of endocrinolo

Drug-Drug Interactions of Cannabidiol with Standard-of-Care Chemotherapeutics.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is an easily accessible and affordable Marijuana (Cannabis sativa L.) plant derivative with an extensive history of medical use spanning thousands of years. Interest in the therapeutic potential of CBD has increased in recent years, including its anti-tumour properties in various cancer models. In addition to the direct anticancer effects of CBD, preclinical research on numerous cannabinoids, including CBD, has highlighted their potential use in: (i) attenuating chemotherapy-induced adverse effects and (ii) enhancing the efficacy of some anticancer drugs. Therefore, CBD is ga

Advances in MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging Single Cell and Tissues.

Compared with conventional optical microscopy techniques, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) or imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful, label-free analytical technique, which can sensitively and simultaneously detect, quantify, and map hundreds of biomolecules, such as peptides, proteins, lipid, and other organic compounds in cells and tissues. So far, although several soft ionization techniques, such as desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) have been used for imaging biomolecules, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is still t

The metabolites from traditional Chinese medicine targeting ferroptosis for cancer therapy.

Cancer is a major disease with ever-increasing morbidity and mortality. The metabolites derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have played a significant role in combating cancers with curative efficacy and unique advantages. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent programmed death characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxide, stands out from the conventional forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, pyroptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. Recent evidence has demonstrated the potential of TCM metabolites targeting ferroptosis for cancer therapy. We collected and screened related articles publ

Management of Potential Organ Donor: Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine-Position Statement.

This position statement is documented based on the input from all contributing coauthors from the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM), following a comprehensive literature review and summary of current scientific evidence. Its objective is to provide the standard perspective for the management of potential organ/tissue donors after brain death (BD) in adults only, regardless of the availability of technology. This document should only be used for guidance only and is not a substitute for proper clinical decision making in particular circumstances of any case. Endorsement by the IS

Crosstalk between Circadian Rhythm Dysregulation and Tumorigenesis, Tumor Metabolism and Tumor Immune Response.

Circadian rhythm is a self-regulating 24-hour system that synchronizes with the day and night cycle in organisms. The regulation of this system is controlled by clock genes, which function to harmoniously express molecular levels that facilitate the orderly coordination of various cellular processes, such as sleep, metabolism, endocrine function, cell proliferation and immunity. The root cause of tumorigenesis is that the body loses its normal regulation of cell growth at the genetic level. Long-term disruptions in circadian rhythms caused by factors such as shift work, jet lag, and unstable s

Current and Novel Alkylators in Multiple Myeloma.

A large number of novel treatments for myeloma have been developed and approved; however, alkylating drugs continue to be part of standard regimens. Additionally, novel alkylators are currently being developed. We performed a non-systematized literary search for relevant papers and communications at large conferences, as well as exploiting the authors' knowledge of the field, to review the history, current use and novel concepts around the traditional alkylators cyclophosphamide, bendamustine and melphalan and current data on the newly developed pro-drug melflufen. Even in the era of targeted

Current landscape and future directions of targeted-alpha-therapy for glioblastoma treatment.

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive malignancy of the central nervous system. Despite two decades of intensive research since the establishment of the standard of care, emerging strategies have yet to produce consistent satisfactory outcomes. Because of its specific localisation and intricate characteristics, GB is a uniquely regulated solid tumour with a strong resistance to therapy. Advances in targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT), particularly with the introduction of a-emitting radionuclides, have unveiled potential avenues for the management of GB. Recent preclinical and clinical stud

Digital therapeutics from bench to bedside.

As a new therapeutic technique based on digital technology, the commercialization and clinical application of digital therapeutics (DTx) are increasing, and the demand for expansion to new clinical fields is remarkably high. However, the use of DTx as a general medical component is still ambiguous, and this ambiguity may be owing to a lack of consensus on a definition, in addition to insufficiencies in research and development, clinical trials, standardization of regulatory frameworks, and technological maturity. In this study, we conduct an in-depth investigation and analysis of definitions,

Liver replacement therapy with extracorporeal blood purification techniques current knowledge and future directions.

Clinically, it is highly challenging to promote recovery in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Despite recent advances in understanding the underlying mechanisms of ALF and ACLF, standard medical therapy remains the primary therapeutic approach. Liver transplantation (LT) is considered the last option, and in several cases, it is the only intervention that can be lifesaving. Unfortunately, this intervention is limited by organ donation shortage or exclusion criteria such that not all patients in need can receive a transplant. Another option is to

Mechanisms and effects of metformin on skeletal muscle disorders.

Skeletal muscle disorders are mostly genetic and include several rare diseases. With disease progression, muscle fibrosis and adiposis occur, resulting in limited mobility. The long course of these diseases combined with limited treatment options affect patients both psychologically and economically, hence the development of novel treatments for neuromuscular diseases is crucial to obtain a better quality of life. As a widely used hypoglycemic drug in clinical practice, metformin not only has anti-inflammatory, autophagy-regulating, and mitochondrial biogenesis-regulating effects, but it has a
