Article Synopsis
  • Palbociclib is a common treatment for advanced breast cancer in older adults, but its safety and tolerability for those aged 70 and older is not well established based on current studies.
  • A phase 2 study was conducted with 90 participants (median age 74) to assess safety, finding that 75.6% experienced grade 3 or higher adverse events within six months, with the most common being neutropenia.
  • The study revealed that older participants (≥75 years) tended to have higher rates of early treatment discontinuations due to adverse events compared to younger older adults (70-74 years), indicating the need for further research on treatment delivery in this age group.

Article Synopsis
  • Dentists today face a variety of stressors impacting their well-being, but there is a lack of effective tools to measure their distress levels, which this study aims to address using the Well-Being Index (WBI).
  • The research involved 597 dentists who completed a 9-item WBI survey alongside assessments of quality of life, fatigue, burnout, and issues like suicidal thoughts and job dissatisfaction.
  • Results indicate that the WBI can effectively determine levels of distress, showing higher scores in those with lower quality of life and greater fatigue, burnout, or suicidal ideation, suggesting it could help pinpoint dentists at risk for negative professional outcomes.
