Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), including pre-conditioning (RIPC, before the ischemic event), per-conditioning (RIPerC, during the ischemic event), and post-conditioning (RIPostC, after the ischemic event), protects the liver in animal hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injuries models. However, several questions regarding the optimal timing of intervention and administration protocols remain unanswered. Therefore, the preclinical evidence on RIC in the HIRI models was systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed in the present review to provide constructive and helpful information for future works.

Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprising the majority of cases. For advanced NSCLC, immunotherapy offers substantial survival benefits but is often accompanied by severe immune-related adverse events symptoms, significantly affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Routinely collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) followed by automated alerts has been shown to improve overall survival and HRQoL for cancers.
