The Longitudinal Evidence on Social Ties and Fruit and Vegetable Intake among Aging Adults: A Systematic Review.

Context: Social ties are associated with the mortality and morbidity of aging populations; however, the role of social ties in healthy eating practices or gender differences in this link is less understood.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the longitudinal evidence for the impact of changes in social ties on fruit and vegetable (FV) intakes among aging adults, with attention to gender differences.

Data Sources: Medline, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, and ProQuest databases were searched until December 2022.

FACT inhibitor CBL0137, administered in an optimized schedule, potentiates radiation therapy for glioblastoma by suppressing DNA damage repair.

Purpose: Standard-of-care for glioblastoma remains surgical debulking followed by temozolomide and radiation. However, many tumors become radio-resistant while radiation damages surrounding brain tissue. Novel therapies are needed to increase the effectiveness of radiation and reduce the required radiation dose.
