Dosimetry and acute radiation enteritis comparison between prone and supine position in IMRT for gynecological cancers
CONCLUSION: Prone position in IMRT for gynecological cancers could significantly reduce radiation dose to the small bowel and colon, which would decrease the occurrence and severity of acute intestinal side effects possibly.PMID:37621141 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14135 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 3816: Evaluation of Nutritional Status and the Impact of Nutritional Treatment in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer
zej Deptała
Patients with pancreatic cancer who develop irreversible cancer cachexia have a life expectancy of less than 3 months. Therefore, it is extremely important to evaluate the patient’s nutritional status as early as possible and to implement an appropriate nutritional intervention in order to reduce the risk of further weight loss and/or muscle loss, which affect the outcomes of cancer treatment and the correct nutritional treatment in patients with pancreatic cancer. A literature review was performed by using the PubMed and Cochrane quick search methodology. The main purpose of this review was ...

Influence of two defaunating agents and defaunation intervals on milk profile and selected serum parameters in lactating dairy goats in Egypt
This study quantified the effects of defaunation intervals using two defaunating agents; sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DSS), on serum and milk profiles in lactating goats. Ten apparently healthy female Egyptian native breed lactating goats were assigned into two e xperimental groups. The administration of both defaunating agents was carried out daily for the first three days of the experiment then once weekly for three consecutive weeks. The research samples were collected before defaunation, 7, 14, and 21 days post defaunation. Milk parameters were determi ned using milk lactometer and ...

Construction of arsenic selective chelating resin with iron precursor for removal of low-concentration arsenic: Breakthrough modeling and field deployment
J Hazard Mater. 2023 Jul 6;459:132000. doi: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132000. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe presence of exorbitant arsenic contamination in the aquatic environment causes astronomically immense health quandaries affecting millions of people, which may lead to death in the case of prolonged indigestion of arsenic-containing drinking water. Herein, we are reporting porous chelating resin with an iron precursor for the removal of arsenic ions from water. Weak acid cation resin was functionalized under varying experimental conditions to get a suitable resin with high arsenic uptake. The theoretical results rev...

Pre-Diagnosis Pain in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer Signals the Need for Aggressive Symptom Management
CONCLUSIONS: PC pain continues to be a prominent PC symptom. Patients reporting pre-diagnosis PC pain experience increased GI metastasis, symptoms burden, and are often undertreated. Its mitigation may require novel treatments, more resources dedicated to ongoing pain management and surveillance to improve outcomes.PMID:37285228 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad153 (Source: The Oncologist)

Unsupervised machine learning identifies symptoms of indigestion as a predictor of acute decompensation and adverse cardiac events in patients with heart failure presenting to the emergency department
More than six million people in the United States have heart failure (HF).1 There are approximately one million incident cases diagnosed annually, and it is projected that the prevalence of HF will increase by 46% by 2030.2 Despite progressive advances in guideline-directed medical therapies, survival rates have leveled off over time, with the current 5-year mortality rate remaining as high as 42.3% −52.6%.3,4 In fact, HF is listed as a cause of death in approximately 13% of death certificates nationwide.
