Evolution of blood-associated HIV-1 DNA levels after 48 weeks of switching to atazanavir/ritonavir+lamivudine dual therapy versus continuing triple therapy in the randomized AtLaS-M trial
Conclusions: When compared with continuing three-drug therapy, atazanavir/ritonavir+lamivudine dual therapy resulted in a similar decline in HIV-1 DNA levels in patients with sustained virological suppression. These data support the safety of this simplified treatment strategy in terms of its effect on the cellular HIV-1 reservoir.

Survey of US Medical Oncologists' Practices and Beliefs Regarding < em > DPYD < /em > Testing Before Fluoropyrimidine Chemotherapy
CONCLUSION: Clinical adoption of pretreatment DPYD testing is extremely limited in the United States. Utilization may be substantially increased by inclusion in the oncology clinical practice guideline recommendations, coverage through health insurance, and potentially education of medical oncologists regarding available treatment modification guidelines.PMID:35239419 | DOI:10.1200/OP.21.00874

Breast cancer drug studies 'subject to spin'
Conclusion Well-designed RCTs are the best way of investigating the effectiveness and safety of a particular treatment being investigated compared with a control treatment. This valuable new research highlights the need for objective and clear reporting of both the results for the main outcomes that the trial was set up to investigate, and of any adverse effects that have been associated with the treatments being tested. This is essential to allow relevant healthcare professionals and healthcare policy makers to clearly see whether potential new treatments are safe and effective. However, there are some points to bear in...

European medical students: a first multicentre study of knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of antibiotic prescribing and antibiotic resistance
Conclusions Students wanted further education on antibiotic prescribing, and areas of lack of confidence were found. Students overestimated the current burden of resistant bacteria and were unaware of successes in reducing MRSA infections. Educational and stewardship programmes may benefit from including more cases of diagnostic uncertainty, and highlighting successes such as MRSA prevention, as evidence for the importance of current interventions.

Carbapenem use and medical devices highest risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a systematic review and meta-analyses.
Abstract A systematic review and meta-analyses were performed to identify the risk factors associated with carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to identify sources and reservoirs for the pathogen. A systematic search of PubMed and EMBASE from January 1(st) 1987 until January 27(th) 2012 identified 1662 articles, 53 of which were included in a systematic review, and 38 in a random effects meta-analyses study. The use of carbapenem, use of fluoroquinolones, use of vancomycin, use of other antibiotics, having medical devices, ICU admission, having underlying diseases, patient characteristics and length of ...

Angelina's Choice
Admittedly, I don't have a lot in common with Angelina Jolie, but I relate deeply to her recent writing in the New York Times about having her ovaries removed because she has a mutation on the BRCA gene, predisposing her to breast and ovarian cancer. Two years back she'd had her breasts removed for the same reason. I too carry that alteration in my genes and have had to make tough medical decisions based on that knowledge. I did have cancer, so my storyline's a bit different. I also love that Ms. Jolie in her op-ed piece addressed patient choice. She wrote, "I have spoken to many doctors, surgeons and naturopaths. There a...

Effect of Self-Transcendence Theory Combined with Comprehensive Nursing Intervention under Tumor Nutrition Education on Symptom Improvement, Nutritional Status, and Positive Psychology of Elderly Patients with Gastric Cancer
CONCLUSION: The application value of self-transcendence theory combined with comprehensive nursing care under oncological nutritional education is more significant in elderly patients with GC, which is more helpful to enhance symptoms and nutritional status and control the incidence of malnutrition. Thus, it is able to reduce anxiety and depression and the rate of adverse reactions related to surgery-assisted chemotherapy as well.PMID:35935319 | PMC:PMC9296339 | DOI:10.1155/2022/6084732

Work and education interruption in long-term Hodgkin lymphoma survivors: an analysis among patients from nine EORTC-LYSA trials
CONCLUSION: An interruption in education/work was common among long-term HL survivors. However, most of the survivors who interrupted their studies or work had resumed their activities within 24 months. In this study, no associations between survivors' characteristics and failure to resume education were observed. Female sex, age ≥50 years, and a lower level of education were found to be associated with not resuming work after treatment for HL.PMID:37039661 | DOI:10.1080/0284186X.2023.2195561
