Background: Patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) experience emotional distress and limited supportive care access. This study assesses a mindfulness app's feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy in improving emotional symptoms, trait mindfulness, and overall quality of life for patients with mRCC on immunotherapy.
Methods: This multinational study recruited patients with mRCC undergoing immunotherapy from Brazil and the United States.
Purpose: Despite exercise's known benefits for cancer patients, little is understood about combining it with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a personalized physical activity program for cancer patients on ICI treatment and to investigate its effects on quality of life, ICI-related side effects, fatigue, and emotional symptoms.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted across eight cancer practices in a joint network in Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is linked to excessive sugar intake, particularly from sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), which raises the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases.
- A study analyzed data from over 59,000 participants and found that each additional serving of SSB increased the risk of MetS by 6%, while moderate intake of fruit juices showed a potential protective effect.
- Results for low/no caloric beverages (LNCB) were inconsistent, indicating that replacing SSB with LNCB or fruit juice did not significantly impact MetS incidence, suggesting further research is needed in this area.
Background: Studies investigating associations between sweeteners and health yield inconsistent results, possibly due to subjective self-report dietary assessment methods.
Objectives: We compared the performance of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), multiple 24-h dietary recalls (24hRs), and urinary biomarkers to estimate intake of sugars and low/no-calorie sweeteners (LNCSs).
Methods: Participants (n = 848, age 54 ± 12 y) from a 2-y observational study completed 1 semiquantitative FFQ and ≥ 3 nonconsecutive 24hRs.
Purpose: Results of prospective studies investigating associations between low/no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) and body weight-related outcomes are inconclusive. We conducted dose-response and theoretical replacement individual patient data meta-analyses using harmonised prospective data to evaluate associations between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption, low/no-calorie sweetened beverage (LNCB) consumption, and changes in body weight and waist circumference.
Methods: Individual participant data were obtained from five European studies, i.
