High-intensity interval training improves hepatic redox status via Nrf2 downstream pathways and reduced CYP2E1 expression in female rats with cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity.
Food Chem Toxicol
December 2024
Cisplatin (CP) is an antineoplastic drug associated with various cytotoxic adverse effects, including hepatotoxicity. Exercise training may offer hepatoprotection by improving redox status. This study compared the effects of light-intensity continuous training (LICT), moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on CP-induced hepatotoxicity in female Wistar rats.

Methods: Secondary analysis of a clinical trial (NCT03611881) that tested the effectiveness of smoking cessation treatment for smokers scheduled for LCS (N = 615) in eastern Massachusetts, USA from 2019 to 2024.
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic created significant disruptions in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer (BC). Several public health measures were taken with limited evidence on their potential impact. In this observational study, we sought to compare the incidence of BC, treatment patterns, and mortality during 2020 versus 2018 and 2019.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find a link between fecal calprotectin (FC) levels and intestinal inflammation in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) who do not have inflammatory bowel disease.
- Out of 180 SpA patients, approximately 27% exhibited positive fecal calprotectin and about 16% showed high levels, with significant associations found between higher FC levels and measures of disease activity and abdominal symptoms.
- The results suggest that elevated FC levels, especially in patients showing loss of vascular pattern in the ileum, could serve as a useful biomarker for managing SpA, indicating a common immune response related to chronic inflammation.
This study examined the association between COVID-19 concerns and depression among adults in later life. We also examined whether race/ethnic status moderated this relationship. This study used data from the 2020 Using the 8-item CES-D scale, we defined probable depression as having three or more depressive symptoms.
