Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effects of industrially originated trans-fatty acids (I-FAs) like elaidic acid (EA) and ruminant trans-fatty acids (R-FAs) like palmitoleic acid (TPA) on metabolic health by focusing on gut microbiomes and fecal metabolites in mice.
- Forty C57BL/6 mice consumed different formulations including a control, EA, TPA, or lecithin nanovesicles for 7 and 28 days, and researchers collected fecal samples to analyze microbial profiles and metabolite concentrations.
- Results showed that TPA increased specific gut bacteria and short-chain fatty acids, while EA led to different changes in microbial diversity and decreased short-chain fatty acids

Purpose Of Review: This paper reviews the current evidence-base for the use of hypnosis as an adjunct treatment for common cancer-related symptoms and side effects, including those experienced during treatment, as well as long-term and late effects. First, a general description and history of medical hypnosis in cancer care is provided, followed by a review of the latest evidence across a range of common symptoms.
Recent Findings: The evidence suggests that hypnosis may help treat symptoms of nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients, manage pain in a variety of contexts, and also reduce levels of anxiety and overall distress around surgical and medical procedures, both in children and adults.
