Background: Combining natural compounds with chemotherapeutic agents has emerged as a promising approach for cancer treatment. Curcumin (Cur), a natural polyphenol, is known for its anti-cancer properties, including the ability to induce apoptosis and arrest cell cycle progression.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Cur and etoposide (ETO), both individually and in combination, on the induction of apoptosis in breast cancer (BC) cell lines.

Background: Patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) are considered to have worse outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) than patients with other hematological malignancies, owing to high risk of relapse and immunocompromised status. However, no studies have compared transplant outcomes between patients with ATL and those with other hematological malignancies using a large-scale database.
Objectives: To compare transplant outcomes between patients with ATL and those with other leukemias and to identify factors contributing to worse transplant outcomes in ATL patients.

In this study, we investigated the measurable residual leukemic stem cell (MR-LSC) population after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), utilizing T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) expression as a functional marker of AML leukemic stem cells (LSCs). Analysis of the CD34CD38 fraction of bone marrow cells immediately after achievement of engraftment revealed the presence of both TIM-3LSCs and TIM-3 donor hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) at varying ratios. Genetic analysis confirmed that TIM-3 cells harbored patient-specific mutations identical to those found in AML clones, whereas TIM-3 cells did not, indicating that TIM-3CD34CD38 cells represent residual AML LSCs.

Background: Preoxygenation is intended to extend the duration of apnea until desaturation occurs. End-tidal oxygen (ETO) is the standard for measuring preoxygenation, however, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO) is used more commonly within the emergency department.
Objective: The primary aim was to determine whether patients were optimally preoxygenated as measured by ETO vs.
