Article Synopsis
- Cancer treatment has evolved significantly, particularly with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), but these treatments can lead to adverse events (AEs) that complicate patient care.* -
- This review assessed the role of pharmacists in managing cancer patients on ICIs, finding that they provide essential interventions like patient guidance, AE management, and medication recommendations.* -
- The findings suggest that pharmacists improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients while also helping to reduce healthcare costs.*
Characterizing the effects of saturated fat intake on metabolic health and its changes remains a major challenge. Lipid diets, from different sources, vary widely in their physiological effects on health; therefore, it is important to consider the specific lipid source consumed. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of the imposition of isocaloric diets with different lipid sources in zebrafish (fish oil/pork lard).

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are significant components of the CC TME, but studies on their correlation with CC progression are still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between TAM infiltration, the STAT3/NF-κB signaling pathway, and Overall Survival (OS) in CC patients.

Objective: To analyze the spatiotemporal epidemiological dynamics of meningitis in Brazil, between 2010 and 2019.
Methods: Descriptive ecological study with cases and deaths due to meningitis in Brazil (2010-2019) in the National Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação - SINAN). The following analyses were performed: (I) frequency analyses of cases and deaths, prevalence rates, mortality, lethality, Fisher's exact test, and chi-square test; (II) Prais-Winstein regression; and (III) Global, Local Moran's index, and Kernel density.
