Investigation of the Use of Circulating Long Non-coding RNA HOXA Transcript at the Distal Tip (LncRNA HOTTIP) as a Biomarker in Breast Cancer.

The critical need for new diagnostic and prognostic methods is highlighted by the fact that breast cancer continues to be the top cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Due to the dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in numerous malignancies, they have become potential biomarkers in cancer. Recent research has focused on the lncRNA HOTTIP (HOXA transcript at the distal tip), which has a function in breast cancer metastasis and carcinogenesis.

Saliva cortisol levels and physiological parameter fluctuations in mild traumatic brain injury patients compared to controls.

Background: Evidence suggests that fluctuations of cortisol and physiological parameters can emerge during the course of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI).

Objective: To investigate fluctuations of cortisol and physiological parametersduring the acute phase of mTBI in hospitalized patients.

Methods: 30 participants (19 patients with mTBI and 11 controls) were examined for saliva cortisol dynamics, heart rate (HR), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and body temperature (BT) fluctuations for four consecutive days.

Effects of the Enhanced Recovery Program on the Recovery and Stress Response in Patients With Cancer Undergoing Pancreatoduodenectomy.

Aim the study was the comparison of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) versus conventional care (CON) protocols in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy with regard to pain intensity, emotional response (optimism/sadness/stress), and stress biomarker levels (adrenocorticotropopic hormone, cortisol). We conducted a prospective two-group randomized controlled study with repeated measures in 85 patients with cancer pancreatoduodenectomy. In the ERAS group (N = 44), the ERAS protocol was followed, compared with the CON group (N = 41).

Non small cell lung cancer metastasized to the breast and treated with modified radical mastectomy: a case report.

Unlabelled: Breast metastasis from extra-mammary malignancy is extremely rare with an incidence from 0.4% to 1.3%.

Cross-Correlation Among Visual Analog, Observational, and Behavioral Pain Scales of Oncological Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery.

Purpose: To determine the perception of postoperative pain intensity between nurses and oncology patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Design: A prospective cross-correlation study with 173 oncology patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, such as hepatectomy or pancreatectomy.

Methods: Postoperative pain intensity was evaluated by clinical pain assessment tools such as critical-care pain observation tool (CPOT) and behavioral pain scale (BPS) recorded by the researcher, whereas the visual analog scale was completed by patients.
