Ruthenium(II) Complex with 1-Hydroxy-9,10-Anthraquinone Inhibits Cell Cycle Progression at G0/G1 and Induces Apoptosis in Melanoma Cells.

Background: Melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal skin cancer that affects thousands of people worldwide. Ruthenium complexes have shown promising results as cancer chemotherapeutics, offering several advantages over platinum drugs, such as potent efficacy, low toxicity, and less drug resistance. Additionally, anthraquinone derivatives have broad therapeutic applications, including melanoma.

Association of the combination of corporal adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitness with cardiometabolic risk factors in children - PREVOI Study.

Objective: To assess the association between the combination of corporal adiposity (CA) and cardiorespiratory physical fitness (CRF) with cardiometabolic risk factors in children aged 7-10 years.

Methods: Cross-sectional observational study with a sample of 251 children registered in Family Health Units. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, anthropometric, biochemical, blood pressure, and CRF data were collected.

Chitosan/γ-PGA nanoparticles and IFN-γ immunotherapy: A dual approach for triple-negative breast cancer treatment.

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a key mediator in antitumor immunity and immunotherapy responses, yet its clinical applications remain restricted to chronic granulomatous disease and malignant osteopetrosis. IFN-γ effectiveness as a standalone treatment has shown limited success in clinical trials and its potential for synergistic effects when combined with immunotherapies is under clinical exploration. A particularly compelling combination is that of IFN-γ with Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists that holds significant promise for cancer treatment.

Effect of listening to music on anxiety, pain, and cardiorespiratory parameters in cardiac surgery: A randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of listening to music on preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain (at rest and during coughing), and cardiorespiratory parameters in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Design: Single-centered, randomized, parallel, superiority clinical trial.

Methods: This study was carried out with 50 adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery randomly allocated at a 1:1 ratio to one of the groups, experimental (n = 25) or control (n = 25).
