Provision of a high standard of patient care is closely connected with the holistic approach to a patient by members of the therapeutic team. The greater detail are the problems of care of a patient discussed in during the meetings of the team, the higher the results of holistic care. Therefore, the study was undertaken to discover the scope of problems discussed during the meetings of the therapeutic team in hospitals with accreditation and without the Quality Certificate. The study covered 560 physicians and nurses from 4 hospitals with accreditation and 17 without the Quality Certificate. The research method was a diagnostic survey and the technique--a questionnaire form. The material was subject to statistical analysis. It was confirmed that the staff of hospitals possessing the Quality Certificate discussed the diagnostic, therapeutic and nursing problems during the meetings of the therapeutic team significantly more often, compared to respondents from units without accreditation.

Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are candidate drug targets for therapeutic intervention in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we focused on mGlu3, a receptor subtype involved in synaptic regulation and neuroinflammation. mGlu3 mice showed an enhanced nigro-striatal damage and microglial activation in response to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).

Background: Non-metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presents a challenging scenario: the rarity of the disease, the limited number of completed prospective trials, and the shortcomings of comparability across series produce several controversial topics and unanswered questions. Guideline recommendations usually include all the different therapeutic options, de facto transferring to the multidisciplinary team the responsibility on the final decision. This secondary analysis of the GARIBALDI study was aimed to explore the correlation of center type, self-declared volume, and commitment with the overall survival (OS) in patients with non-metastatic PDAC.

Background: With extended gefitinib treatment, the therapeutic effect in some non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients declined with the development of drug resistance. Aidi injection (ADI) is utilized in various cancers as a traditional Chinese medicine prescription. This study explores the molecular mechanism by which ADI, when combined with gefitinib, attenuates gefitinib resistance in PC9GR NSCLC cells.
