The Clinical Use of Stem Cell Research in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Critical Analysis of Current Policies.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disorder affecting more than 200 million people around the world, resulting in three million deaths per year. COPD is characterized by the loss of lung tissue and airway remodelling, with chronic inflammation of the airways and progressive destruction of lung parenchyma. The use of stem cells may lead to regenerative processes that address biological damage. However, this approach raises ethical issues that need to be considered in clinical trials using stem cell therapy, such as informed consent, patient recruitment and harm minimization, as w

Facilitators and barriers to provision of hospital in the home: does geographical location matter? A scoping review.

BackgroundThere is an increasing imperative for hospital services delivered in the home due to overburdened hospital systems, ageing populations and rising prevalence of chronic disease. Hospital in the home services have numerous advantages including reduced mortality, reduced hospital readmission and emergency department presentations and improved patient quality of life. Despite anticipated benefits for rural communities, which typically experience high prevalence of chronic disease and high rates of potentially avoidable hospitalisation, there appears to be limited research that focusses s

High-Dose Vitamin C in Advanced-Stage Cancer Patients.

High-dose intravenously administered vitamin C (IVC) is widely used in cancer patients by complementary and alternative medicine practitioners. The most frequent indications for IVC therapy result from the belief in its effectiveness as a potent anti-cancer agent which additionally enhances chemosensitivity of cancer cells and reduces chemotherapy-related toxicities and fatigue intensity. In this narrative review, we decided to deal with this issue, trying to answer the question whether there is any scientific evidence supporting the rationale for application of high-dose IVC therapy in advanc
