Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of upfront primary tumor resection (PTR) on overall survival in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who don’t have severe symptoms, revealing that PTR may improve survival in certain subgroups.
- - Among 205 patients analyzed, those who underwent PTR had a median overall survival of 20.5 months compared to 16.0 months in the chemotherapy group, although this difference was not statistically significant in multivariate analysis.
- - Factors such as male sex, better performance status, specific tumor stages, lower organ metastases, and certain targeted treatments were linked to potential benefits from PTR, indicating the need for further research with larger cohorts to validate these findings.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the effect of internet-based and in-person cognitive interventions on cognition, mood, and activities of daily living (ADL) on patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) and examine whether internet-based intervention is as effective as the in-person intervention.
Methods: We recruited 52 patients with probable mild AD, of whom 42 completed the trial. We randomly divided participants into intervention and control groups at a 1:1 ratio and statistically compared the neuropsychological test results of the two groups.
Article Synopsis
- - Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is diagnosed in people under 50 and its rates are increasing globally, potentially linked to rising obesity levels.
- - A diet high in fats, meats, and sugars (the Western diet) alters gut microbiota and disrupts normal hydrogen sulfide levels, playing a role in EOCRC development.
- - The review discusses how changes in gut bacteria due to diet can cause inflammation and damage to the colonic lining, contributing to colorectal cancer.

Ramosetron, a serotonin subtype 3 (5-HT(3)) antagonist, has been shown to be effective as an antiemetic after chemotherapy and surgery. Consensus guidelines recommend a combination of antiemetic therapies in high-risk groups.
