Evaluation of therapy support through a standardized nursing consultation for patients undergoing oral tumor therapy in gynecological oncology within the prospective CAMPA initiative.

Purpose: The increase of oral tumor therapies (OTT) poses new challenges in patient care. Within CAMPA (Care improvement for advanced or metastatic breast and ovarian cancer patients treated with PARP-inhibitors), additional nursing support for patients treated with PARP-inhibitors was developed.

Methods: Additional nursing support (1 year) was evaluated in breast and gynecooncological cancer patients at an academic and a non-academic outreach center.

The Role of Microbiome in Cardiovascular Health: Insights for Primary Care Interventions.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for effective prevention strategies. Emerging research suggests that the gut microbiome is critical in cardiovascular health, influencing pathophysiological processes associated with CVDs. This narrative review explores the intricate relationship between the gut microbiome and cardiovascular health, mainly focusing on how microbial composition affects inflammation, lipid metabolism, and endothelial function.

Oral T-cell-rich large B-cell lymphoma in a horse.

Lymphoma is the most common tumor of hematopoietic origin in horses. The course of the disease and clinical signs vary greatly, depending on tumor location and extent. The aim of this report is to describe the occurrence of T-cell-rich oral large B-cell lymphoma with marked local infiltration in a 25-year-old Crioula mare.

Formation of Nanodiamonds during Pyrolysis of Butanosolv Lignin.

The preparation of artificial diamonds has a long history driven by decreased costs compared to naturally occurring diamonds and ethical issues. However, fabrication of diamonds in the laboratory from readily available biomass has not been extensively investigated. This work demonstrates a convenient method for producing nanodiamonds from biopolymer lignin at ambient pressure.

Open-bore MRI Scanner Assessment of Epicardial Adipose Tissue after Bariatric Surgery: A Pilot Study.

Background: The recognition of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) as a cardiac risk factor has increased the interest in strategies that target cardiac adipose tissue.

Aim: The effect of bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS)-induced weight loss on EAT volume was evaluated in this study.

Methods: Fifteen bariatric patients, with (MS) or without (wMS) Metabolic Syndrome, underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using an open-bore scanner to assess EAT volume, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) thickness, and other cardiac morpho-functional parameters at baseline and 12 months after BMS.
