Wernicke encephalopathy in a lung cancer patient receiving home medical care
Palliat Support Care. 2021 Jul 23:1-3. doi: 10.1017/S1478951521000900. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: Cancer patients often want to spend their final days at home, and it is essential that general practitioners have knowledge of and technical skills related to cancer medicine and symptom relief. Recent clinical studies have revealed that Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is quite common in cancer patients. However, there have been no reports to date on WE in cancer patients undergoing home medical care.METHODS: From a series of cancer patient undergoing home medical care, we reported a patient with lung cancer who dev...

Development of a Semiautomated Search Tool to Identify Grading From Pathology Reports for Tumors of the CNS and Prostate Cancers
CONCLUSION: Semiautomated, document-based text classification using Perl coding successfully leveraged identification of WHO and Gleason grades to classify pathology records for CNS tumors and prostate cancer. The process is recommended for data quality initiatives to support cancer reporting functions, epidemiology, and research.PMID:34882482 | DOI:10.1200/CCI.21.00049

The Health Care Utilization and Medical Costs in Long-Term Follow-Up of Children Diagnosed With Leukemia, Solid Tumor, or Brain Tumor: Population-Based Study Using the National Health Insurance Claims Data
CONCLUSIONS: Survivors of childhood cancer and a benign brain tumor had higher utilization of advanced health resources and higher costs of care. The design of the initial treatment plan minimizing long-term consequences, early intervention strategies, and survivorship programs have the potential to mitigate costs of late effects due to childhood cancer and its treatment.PMID:36862495 | DOI:10.2196/42350

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 2515: Marine Cyanobacterial Peptides in Neuroblastoma: Search for Better Therapeutic Options
o
Haroon Khan
Neuroblastoma is the most prevalent extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, originating from sympathetic nervous system cells. Metastasis can be observed in approximately 70% of individuals after diagnosis, and the prognosis is poor. The current care methods used, which include surgical removal as well as radio and chemotherapy, are largely unsuccessful, with high mortality and relapse rates. Therefore, attempts have been made to incorporate natural compounds as new alternative treatments. Marine cyanobacteria are a key source of physiologically active metabolites, which have recently received a...

Application Value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Medical Technology in the Perioperative Management of Brain Gliomas: Impact on Anesthesia and Prognosis
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to conventional intracranial tumor surgery, the utilization of MRI medical technology in brain glioma surgery, although it prolongs surgery and anesthesia times, enhances the tumor resection rate, and offers significant advantages in improving the prognosis of patients with brain glioma.PMID:37652419

Colorado Funds Multiple Studies On Marijuana's Medical Possibilities
The Colorado state Board of Health approved nearly $8 million in grant funding Wednesday for eight separate studies investigating the potential medical benefits of marijuana.
All eight medical marijuana research projects that were recommended to the board received approval, Mark Salley, communications director for the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, told The Huffington Post. The studies, most of which will be overseen by researchers from various universities, will explore marijuana's efficacy when used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson's disease, pediatric epilepsy and brain tumors, a...

The Clinical and Research Infrastructure of a Childhood Cancer Survivor Program
We report a descriptive framework of such a healthcare infrastructure within a single institution to provide education for other healthcare professionals developing a cancer survivorship program at their institution. This cross-sectional study described the structure and patient population of the Cancer Survivor Program (CSP) in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota (UM). It relied on the UM Cancer Survivorship Database maintained by the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Demographic and relevant survivorship information is summarized for survivors seen from August 1, 2003 to May 1, 2013. The ...

Medical Research: The Best Investment We Can Make in Our Future
While the cure for cancer has been elusive, President Obama's National Cancer Moonshot initiative offers renewed hope that we could see breakthroughs in prevention, detection, and treatment for a disease that affects millions of Americans and their families. The cancer moonshot is the latest demonstration that Washington understands the potential for medical research to change lives and improve the health of all Americans. It builds on the bipartisan support we saw last fall when House and Senate negotiators agreed on a $2 billion budget increase for medical research through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Today,...

GSE86573 Macrophage ontogeny underlies differences in tumor-specific education in brain malignancies
Contributors : Robert L Bowman ; Johanna A JoyceSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusRecent efforts have uncovered immense transcriptional and ontogenetic diversity among tissue-resident macrophages, each with their own transcriptional profile endowing the cell with its tissue-specific functions. However, it is currently unknown whether the origins of different macrophage populations may affect their roles in malignancy. Given potential artifacts associated with irradiation-based lineage tracing, it remains unclear if bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) are even present ...
