Kohka Public Hospital(KPH), approved as a regional cancer base hospital in February 2008, has concentrated on cancer treatment and care. KPH developed a Division of Home Care Medicine last year. A home care doctor visited and treated various patients, including cancer patients by co-operating with the Visiting Nurse Station; this resulted in an increase in home care patients but not of home deaths. To increase the cases of home care medicine, we believe that collaboration with other institutes and the creation of a regional network conference consisting of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dental doctors, home helpers, and regional administrators is necessary. Via the conference, we recognized the need to obtain more information and create a system of collaborative home medication and care for cancer patients.

Therapeutic hurdles persist in the fight against lung cancer, although it is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Results are still not up to par, even with the best efforts of conventional medicine, thus new avenues of investigation are required. Examining how immunotherapy, precision medicine, and AI are being used to manage lung cancer, this review shows how these tools can change the game for patients and increase their chances of survival.

Aims: To investigate the efficacy of EEN in adults with active ulcerative colitis and compare variations in treatment protocols, safety, tolerability and adherence.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Emcare, CINAHL, Web of Science and trial registries for articles published from inception until July 21, 2024.
Early Dynamics of Portal Pressure Gradient After TIPS Insertion Predict Mortality.
Aliment Pharmacol Ther
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine IV (Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectious Diseases), Jena University Hospital, Friedrich-Schiller-University, Jena, Germany.
Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement leads to a reduction in portal pressure and an improvement in survival in patients with recurrent and refractory ascites and variceal haemorrhage. Prediction of post-TIPS survival is primarily determined by factors identified before the TIPS procedure, as data collected during or after TIPS implantation are limited. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of early hemodynamic changes after TIPS placement on survival, in order to refine post TIPS management.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is a potentially fatal disease with a multifactorial nature, impacting different medical and surgical specialties. Recently, new guidelines and direct oral anticoagulants facilitated early discharge for most DVT patients and non-severe PE patients.
Objective: The aim of this study is to illustrate the distribution of VTE patients throughout the hospital and map their care pathway from Emergency Department (ED) to hospital discharge.
