Ibuprofen reduces inflammation, necroptosis and protects photoreceptors from light-induced retinal degeneration.
J Neuroinflammation
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, 21231, USA.
Background: The retinal degenerative diseases retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and atrophic age- related macular degeneration (AMD) are characterized by vision loss from photoreceptor (PR) degeneration. Unfortunately, current treatments for these diseases are limited at best. Genetic and other preclinical evidence suggest a relationship between retinal degeneration and inflammation.

Orphanet J Rare Dis
January 2025
Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Molecular Medicine, Center for Genomic Sciences in Medicine, Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu, Únicas SJD Center, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Rare diseases (RDs) are a heterogeneous group of complex and low-prevalence conditions in which the time to establish a definitive diagnosis is often too long. In addition, for most RDs, few to no treatments are available and it is often difficult to find a specialized care team.
Objectives: The project "acERca las enfermedades raras" (in English: "bringing RDs closer") is an initiative primary designed to generate a consensus by a multidisciplinary group of experts to detect the strengths and weaknesses in the public healthcare system concerning the comprehensive care of persons living with a RD (PLWRD) in the region of Catalonia, Spain, where a Network of Clinical Expert Units (Xarxa d'Unitats de Expertesa Clínica or XUEC) was created and is being implemented since 2015.
Decision-making behavior of blood glucose management and its influencing factors in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
Background: Currently, most studies only focus on the glucose management level and self- management behavior of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus, but lack analysis and discussion on their decision-making behavior and influencing factors during glucose management.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the decision-making behavior of blood glucose management and its influencing factors among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus in China.
Methods: This was a prospective study.
Exercise medicine as adjunct therapy during RADIation for CAncer of the prostaTE to improve treatment efficacy - protocol for the ERADICATE study: a phase II randomised controlled trial.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Exercise Medicine Research Institute, Edith Cowan University, 270 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup, WA, 6027, Australia.
Background: Tumour hypoxia resulting from inadequate perfusion is common in many solid tumours, including prostate cancer, and constitutes a major limiting factor in radiation therapy that contributes to treatment resistance. Emerging research in preclinical animal models indicates that exercise has the potential to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment by modulating tumour perfusion and reducing hypoxia; however, evidence from randomised controlled trials is currently lacking. The 'Exercise medicine as adjunct therapy during RADIation for CAncer of the prostaTE' (ERADICATE) study is designed to investigate the impact of exercise on treatment response, tumour physiology, and adverse effects of treatment in prostate cancer patients undergoing external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).

BMC Public Health
January 2025
Physical Activity and Sport Insights, Institute of Health and Wellbeing, Federation University, Ballarat, Australia.
Background: Internationally, COVID-19 restrictions impacted negatively on participation in sport and physical activity. Participation in community club sport was particularly disrupted with cancelled training and competitions, and this has been shown to impact the health of individuals. We now need to investigate the effects of the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.
