Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2024 Apr 1;25(4):1333-1338. doi: 10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.4.1333. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to delve into the comparative clinical outcomes between external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and sequential High Dose Rate Intracavitary Brachytherapy (HDRICBT) with or without concurrent cisplatin administration on the day of intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) insertion in women with locally…
Drug Des Devel Ther. 2024 Apr 22;18:1313-1319. doi: 10.2147/DDDT.S455844. eCollection 2024. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Alterations in altitude can lead to an augmented requirement for local anesthesia among patients. Nevertheless, the necessity for an elevated dosage of local anesthetic for parturients at moderately high altitudes during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section remains uninvestigated. This up-down sequential study…
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2024 Apr 1;25(4):1315-1324. doi: 10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.4.1315. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Tumor hypoxia induces the production of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF)-1 alpha, which interacts with NF-kB, leading to cancer proliferation and metastasis. This study investigated the effect of tumor hypoxia modulation using carbogen (95% O2 and 5% CO2) and nicotinamide on reducing soluble interleukin-2 receptor…
Stem Cell Res Ther. 2024 Apr 29;15(1):122. doi: 10.1186/s13287-024-03707-2. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold a great promise for cell-based therapy in the field of regenerative medicine. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (HUC-MSCs) in patients with aging frailty. METHODS: In…
Addict Sci Clin Pract. 2024 Apr 28;19(1):33. doi: 10.1186/s13722-024-00463-9. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently use acute hospital services. The Navigation Services to Avoid Rehospitalization (NavSTAR) trial found that a patient navigation intervention for hospitalized patients with comorbid SUDs reduced subsequent inpatient admissions compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU). METHODS: This secondary analysis extends…
Anticancer Res. 2024 May;44(5):2039-2046. doi: 10.21873/anticanres.17007. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND/AIM: The acute phase immune response (APR) in midline laparotomy (MLa) patients following surgery has been rarely studied, with no studies assessing the association of blood IL-18 (interleukin-18) and IL-18BP (IL-18 binding protein) values with the numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score following MLa. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Blood…
