Nurse-led care is crucial to improving the effectiveness of cancer prevention, as demonstrated by research. However, barriers to nurse-led cancer preventive care are still prevalent. What are the challenges that impede nurses from providing effective preventive care? How can hospital leaders address these challenges to better engage nurses in preventive care? What should be the focal areas in terms of policy changes and training programs? This article explores those questions. We examine the difficulties nurses have encountered. We identify the barriers yet to be examined extensively. Finally, we propose that many barriers can be addressed through carefully designed nurses' training programs and substantial policy changes. Our data were collected from a Nurse Oncology Education Program survey that included questions on perceived oncology knowledge, current cancer-related preventive practices, and barriers to preventive practices. We identified the barriers for the nurse population studied and opportunities to overcome these barriers.

Impact of diabetes on risk of major adverse cardiovascular events associated with lipoprotein(a) levels in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Eur J Prev Cardiol

March 2025

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-Ro 43-Gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea.

Aims: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an emerging risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, evidence on MACE risk according to Lp(a) level in atherosclerotic patients is insufficient, and more data is needed about whether type 2 diabetes (T2DM) additionally contributes to this risk. We aimed to investigate the association between Lp(a) and MACE in atherosclerotic patients and compare the magnitude of Lp(a)-MACE association in the patients with and without T2DM.

Integrated multiomics analysis and machine learning refine neutrophil extracellular trap-related molecular subtypes and prognostic models for acute myeloid leukemia.

Front Immunol

March 2025

Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Immunology and Inflammation, Jiangxi Provincial Clinical Research Center for Laboratory Medicine, Department of Clinical Laboratory, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.

Background: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play pivotal roles in various pathological processes. The formation of NETs is impaired in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which can result in immunodeficiency and increased susceptibility to infection.

Methods: The gene set variation analysis (GSVA) algorithm was employed for the calculation of NET score, while the consensus clustering algorithm was utilized to identify molecular subtypes.

Article Synopsis
  • GREM1 is linked to tumor progression and poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), which is a common and aggressive form of lung cancer.
  • The study uses various analyses, including gene expression data and survival analysis, to demonstrate that higher levels of GREM1 are associated with worse patient outcomes and influence the immune microenvironment.
  • Experimental results show that GREM1 promotes LUAD cell growth and movement, highlighting its potential as a target for future therapies in personalized cancer treatment.

Angioinvasive Mucormycosis and Internal Carotid Artery Thrombosis: A Case Series.

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

January 2025

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Patna Medical College, Patna, Bihar India.

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is an acute, rapidly progressing, and life-threatening condition that predominantly affects individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and those who are immunocompromised. One critical complication of this disease is the thrombosis of orbital vessels, which can be indicative of angioinvasiveness and predict the subsequent development of cerebral infarctions. In this context, we present a case series of patients with rhino-orbital mucormycosis who experienced complications due to internal carotid artery thrombosis.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignant tumor that originates from the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa, predominantly in the form of adenocarcinoma. Extensive research has confirmed the significant role of autophagy in the initiation, progression, and chemoresistance of GC. The potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to exert anti-tumor effects by modulating autophagy has been demonstrated, particularly in the context of GC prevention and treatment.
