AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Oral cancer drugs make the patient more active and autonomous. They reduce the number of hospital appointments and the risk of infection. However, they result in new problems such as the management of side effects. In this context, therapeutic education is essential. The first French therapeutic education programme for patients taking oral cancer drugs at home has been set up.

Background: Abelacimab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to the inactive form of factor XI and blocks its activation. The safety of abelacimab as compared with a direct oral anticoagulant in patients with atrial fibrillation is unknown.
Methods: Patients with atrial fibrillation and a moderate-to-high risk of stroke were randomly assigned, in a 1:1:1 ratio, to receive subcutaneous injection of abelacimab (150 mg or 90 mg once monthly) administered in a blinded fashion or oral rivaroxaban (20 mg once daily) administered in an open-label fashion.
Adherence to Oral Anticancer Agents Among Adults With Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer: A Scoping Review.
Cancer Nurs
January 2025
Author Affiliations: The Nethersole School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong (Ms Chen and Drs Ng, Zhang, and Chan); and Nursing Department, People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Nanning, China (Ms Chen).
Background: Patients with gastrointestinal tract cancer reported suboptimal adherence to oral anticancer agents (OAAs), reducing their therapeutic benefit and increasing mortality risk. A scoping review can comprehensively map available evidence on adherence to OAAs and inform appropriate support to improve treatment outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively map studies on adherence to OAAs among adults with gastrointestinal tract cancer, including the adherence rate, nonadherence reasons, influential factors, management strategies, and theories that guide these studies.

Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Instituto de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt, Lima, Lima, Peru.
Pediatric infections account for approximately one-third of all deaths in children under 5 globally. Lactoferrin (LF) supplementation has the potential to reduce infection-related morbidity due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of oral LF supplementation randomized controlled trials (RCT) in population under 18 years old.
