Background: This study will be proposed for assessing the effects of electrical stimulation (ES) for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with liver cancer (LC).

Methods: We will identify the relevant literatures of ES for CINV in patients with LC from following databases: Cochrane Library, PUBMED, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from inception to the date of literature searched without any language restrictions. Randomized controlled trials and case-control studies on assessing of effects and safety of ES for CINV in patients with LC will be included. Methodological quality for all included studies will be assessed by using Cochrane risk of bias tool. RevMan 5.3 software (Cochrane Community, London, UK) will be used to analyze the data.

Results: This study will summarize current evidence for ES on CINV in patients with LC. Primary outcome includes symptoms severity. Secondary outcomes consist of appetite, performance status, health-related quality of life, and adverse events.

Conclusion: The results of this study will provide latest evidence to judge the effects and safety for ES on CINV in patients with LC.

Background: Systemic chemotherapy constitutes an indispensable component of breast cancer (BC) management, where therapeutic drug combinations such as anthracyclines, platinum compounds, and taxanes form the cornerstone of standard treatment protocols. Although DNA repair genes are pivotal in cancer susceptibility, their specific roles in mediating acute or chronic toxicity outcomes induced by chemotherapy remain undetermined. Consequently, this study was planned  to elucidate the impact of polymorphisms in base excision repair (BER) genes, including XRCC1, XRCC2, XRCC3, APE1, and hOGG1, on treatment response and toxicity outcomes in BC patients undergoing paclitaxel and doxorubicin-based chemotherapy within an Indian population.

Background: NK-1 receptor antagonists (NK-1RAs) are proven to be successful in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The safety profile of NK-1RAs has not been systematically analyzed in the real world. This pharmacovigilance study investigated the differences in adverse events (AEs) between NK-1RAs.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases where serum lipoprotein oxidation plays a significant role. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) n-6 : n-3 unbalance ratio consumption, affects lipoprotein oxidation, and inflammation processes. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between n-6 : n-3 PUFA ratio intake with oxidized lipoproteins in individuals with CAD.

Adverse events (AEs) induced by cancer chemotherapy reduce not only patient quality of life (QOL) but also the efficacy of treatment. Management of AEs can therefore improve both the efficacy and safety of cancer chemotherapy. This review describes the contribution of pharmacists to the management of adverse events aimed at improving the treatment efficacy of cancer chemotherapy.

Convenient multiday dosing of antiemetic regimens for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) are needed in pediatric patients, who are more likely than adults to be treated with emetogenic chemotherapy over multiple consecutive days. Intravenous (IV) fosaprepitant is approved for the prevention of CINV in children aged 6 months and older. This open-label, single-arm study assessed the safety and tolerability of a 3-day fosaprepitant regimen (consecutive daily IV administration on days 1-3) plus a serotonin receptor antagonist with or without dexamethasone in pediatric patients (6 months to 17 years) receiving emetogenic chemotherapy.
