Biologic treatments are increasingly being used in the management of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PSO). Risankizumab (RZB) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically blocks the p19 subunit of interleukin 23, which in turn regulates the activation, differentiation, and survival of Th17. RZB has proved their efficacy and their safety compared to anti-TNF. However, studies that assess and compare the improvement in other secondary PROs such as the patient's quality of life are still scarce. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is the sum of physical health, well-being, and participation; it defines the functional effect of a disease or its treatment and how it is perceived by the patient. The objective of this paper is to analyze the literature on the impact of treatment with RZB on the quality of life of patients with PSO and their psychological well-being. A bibliographic search was carried out to identify all the papers published from July 2015 to June 1, 2022, on RZB treatment in psoriasis and its impact on health-related quality of life and psychological well-being, finally twenty articles have been evaluated in full text, of which 8 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Risankizumab has shown not only to have very relevant data on effectiveness and safety, but all of this is associated with an improvement in quality of life related to health and psychological well-being measured on generic and specific quality of life scales, both in pivotal trials, ad hoc analysis, and data in real clinical practice.

Developing translational nanoradiosensitizers with multiple activities in sensitizing tumor cells and re-shaping tumor immunosuppressive microenvironments are urgently desired for addressing the poor therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy in clinic. Inspired by the anaerobic and immunoagonist properties of the probiotic (bifidobacterium longum, BL), herein, a biomimetic Selenium nanoradiosensitizer in situ-formed on the surface of the probiotic (BL@SeNPs) is developed in a facile method to potentiate radiotherapy. BL@SeNPs selectively target to hypoxia regions of tumors and then anchor on the surface of tumor cells to inhibit its proliferation.

Soil oil pollution is a major environmental issue, especially in oil-producing nations, as it threatens the health of plants, animals, and humans. While bioremediation has been extensively utilized as a cost-effective method for restoring oil-contaminated soil, its environmental impact has garnered relatively little attention. Researchers often concentrate on reducing pollutant concentrations below permissible limits to restore soil quality.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability globally. Advances in clinical care have improved survival rates, leading to a growing population living with long-term effects of TBI, which can impact physical, cognitive, and emotional health. These effects often require continuous management and individualized care.

Background: Many cancer survivors experience a wide range of symptoms closely linked to psychological problems, highlighting the need for psychological treatment, one of the most popular being mindfulness. The use of the internet has greatly increased in the last decade, and has encouraged the use of remote-based interventions to help people living with cancer access treatment remotely via devices.
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of internet-based mindfulness interventions on the physical symptoms of people living with cancer, where physical symptoms are defined as distressing somatic experiences (eg fatigue, insomnia, and pain) regardless of the underlying cause.

Introduction: Advances in treatment strategies for gastric and esophageal cancer have led to improved long-term outcomes, however the local and systemic effects of tumor growth, neoadjuvant therapies and surgery, results in specific nutritional challenges. Comprehensive nutritional evaluation and support represents a core component of multidisciplinary holistic care for this patient population.
Areas Covered: This review provides a detailed overview of the nutritional challenges in gastric and esophageal cancer, with a focus on malignant obstruction, preoperative optimization and nutrition in survivorship.
