Introduction: Several meta-analyses (MAs) of the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma (RRMM) exist. They include different types of populations, Daratumumab regimens, and outcomes. Moreover, there is a wide variation in methodological quality and risk of bias.

A 48-year-old male with refractory Burkitt's lymphoma (BKL) was treated with PBR protocol. At baseline, the patient had a negative QuantiFERON test result, which turned out to be positive prior to starting PBR.

Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, clinicaltrial.
Background: Pharmacy practice research often focuses on the design, implementation and evaluation of pharmacy services and interventions. The use of behavioural theory in intervention research allows understanding of interventions' mechanisms of action and are more likely to result in effective and sustained interventions.
Aim: To collate, summarise and categorise the reported behavioural frameworks, models and theories used in pharmacy practice research.
Background: Only 5-10% of all adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are reported. Mechanisms to support patient and public reporting offer numerous advantages to health care systems including increasing reporting rate. Theory-informed insights into the factors implicated in patient and public underreporting are likely to offer valuable opportunity for the development of effective reporting-interventions and optimization of existing systems.

It is reported to possess several therapeutic properties, of which anti-colon cancer is of interest in this review. Clinically however, curcumin has yet to firm up its place among established anti-colon cancer therapeutic contenders.
