Article Synopsis
- Extravasation (EV) is the leakage of anticancer drugs into surrounding tissues during IV administration, which can lead to severe conditions and potentially surgical intervention, highlighting the need for updated guidelines.* -
- A survey among Japanese cancer care professionals identified clinical challenges and led to the formulation of 17 clinical questions; systematic reviews were used to create evidence-based recommendations for prevention and treatment of EV.* -
- New guidelines discourage certain management techniques like warm compression and local steroid injections, while also providing classifications for ten new drugs associated with EV tissue injury.*
Diabetes is caused by abnormal glucose metabolism, and muscle, the largest tissue in the human body, is largely involved. Urolithin A (UroA) is a major intestinal and microbial metabolite of ellagic acid and ellagitannins and is found in fruits such as strawberry and pomegranate. In this present study, we investigated the antidiabetic effects of UroA in L6 myotubes and in KK-A/Ta, a mouse model of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
