Unlabelled: Cyclic fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) is an experimental nutritional intervention with potent antitumor activity in preclinical models of solid malignancies. FMD cycles are also safe and active metabolically and immunologically in cancer patients. Here, we reported on the outcome of FMD cycles in two patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and investigated the effects of fasting and FMD cycles in preclinical CLL models.

- Immune checkpoint inhibitors can cause serious side effects like autoimmune disorders and heart damage.
- Periodic Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) shows promise in enhancing cancer therapies, particularly when combined with anti-OX40/anti-PD-L1, resulting in better melanoma growth delays in mice.
- FMD not only boosts the effectiveness of immunotherapy but also helps prevent or reverse heart damage linked to these treatments by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
Article Synopsis
- The review focused on gathering the latest information about anesthesia and other medical practices for a surgery called carotid endarterectomy.
- They examined many studies from specific medical databases to find the best practices and results.
- The findings suggested that using any anesthesia and checking brain function during surgery can help patients do better, but there wasn't enough proof on whether to reverse a medicine called heparin after surgery. They also mentioned keeping an eye on blood pressure after surgery, even though the evidence was weak.
Article Synopsis
- Immunotherapy helps cancer patients live longer, but many tumors don’t respond well to it and can cause bad side effects.
- A special diet that mimics fasting (called FMD) can make immunotherapy work better for tough-to-treat breast cancer by helping the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
- FMD can also lower the chances of harmful side effects from immunotherapy, making it a promising method to boost cancer treatment and improve patient safety.
