Nutrition's checkpoint inhibition: The impact of nutrition on immunotherapy outcomes.

Objectives: To determine if nutritional status effects response to immunotherapy in women with gynecologic malignancies.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on gynecologic cancer patients who received immunotherapy at a single institution between 2015 and 2022. Immunotherapy included checkpoint inhibitors and tumor vaccines.

What Do We Know So Far About Ventricular Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death Prediction in the Mitral Valve Prolapse Population? Could Biomarkers Help Us Predict Their Occurrence?

Purpose Of The Review: To summarize currently available data on the topic of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and its correlation to the occurrence of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. To assess the prognostic value of several diagnostic methods such as transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, cardiac computed tomography, electrocardiography, and electrophysiology concerning arrhythmic episodes. To explore intra and extracellular biochemistry of the cardiovascular system and its biomarkers as diagnostic tools to predict rhythm disturbances in the MVP population.
