Children and adolescents who are being treated or have been treated for acute leukemia have a secondary immunodeficiency linked to chemotherapy, resulting in an increased risk of infections. Some of which can be prevented by vaccination but its effectiveness is not optimal during chemotherapy. Upon cessation of chemotherapy, the time required for immune reconstitution varies from three months to more than a year, depending on lymphocyte subpopulations, the patient's age, and the intensity of the treatment received.

Osseous metastases are common in cancer patients, and pain is one of the most frequent associated symptoms. The management of cancer-related pain is still problematic worldwide with 40 to 50% of patients still being undertreated. A significant proportion of cancer patients will require discontinuation of traditional analgesic treatments such as opioids due to unsuccessful pain relief or severe unmanageable toxicity and may, therefore, benefit from alternative treatments.

Understanding how organics degrade under galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) is critical as we search for traces of ancient life on Mars. Even if the planet harbored life early in its history, its surface rocks have been exposed to ionizing radiation for about four billion years, potentially destroying the vast majority of biosignatures. In this study, we investigated for the first time the impact of simulated GCRs (using gamma rays) on several types of lipid biosignatures (including hopane C, sterane C, alkanes, and fatty acids [FAs]) in both the presence and absence of salts (NaCl, KCl, and MgCl).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines lung transplantation (LT) outcomes in patients aged 65 and older compared to younger recipients, emphasizing that age shouldn't be a strict barrier for the procedure.
  • Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent LT at Bichat Hospital, tracking 90-day mortality and other long-term health markers.
  • Results showed that while elderly patients had better short-term lung function post-transplant, their overall survival rates and mortality within the first year were similar to those of younger patients.
