Technology ownership, use, and perceptions of web-based program design features for older adults prescribed oral anticancer medication.

Introduction: Older adults are often prescribed oral anticancer agents (OAAs). Technology-based interventions may offer medication and symptom support. We aimed to evaluate technology ownership, use, and preferred design features of a supportive web-based program using a multimethod design utilizing surveys and semi-structured interviews.

An integrative review of cancer-related cachexia and sarcopenia: A different focus in malignant hematology.

Introduction/background: An improved understanding of cancer-related cachexia and sarcopenia among patients with hematologic malignancies can improve their health outcomes. Patients with hematologic malignancies are affected by cancer-related cachexia and sarcopenia, but this aspect of their care is rarely studied. This review aims to increase awareness and knowledge of cancer-related cachexia and sarcopenia for patients with hematologic malignancies through a comprehensive synthesis of current research.

A Systematic Review of Moderators of the Association between Dietary Restraint and Binge Eating.

Obesity interventions typically involves some form of dietary restraint (i.e., intentional limiting of food intake), yet the restraint model of binge eating proposes that engaging in dietary restraint is a causal factor for binge-eating symptoms.

The Amplification of Alpha-Synuclein Amyloid Fibrils is Suppressed under Fully Quiescent Conditions.

Seed amplification assays (SAAs) are a promising avenue for the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. However, when amplifying fibrils from patient-derived samples in multiwell plates, it is currently highly challenging to accurately quantify the aggregates. It is therefore desirable to transfer such assays into a digital format in microemulsion droplets to enable direct quantification of aggregate numbers.

Exploring the preparedness of hospital pharmacists practising in Southwest London for implementing pharmacogenomics testing.

Introduction: Pharmacogenomics (PG), the study of how genetic variations impact individual responses to drugs, has seen significant advancements globally in recent years. Hospital pharmacists play a crucial role in multi-disciplinary teams and understanding their preparedness to deliver PG services is essential for successful integration into the healthcare systems. This study evaluates their knowledge, training and seeks their views on PG testing implementation.
