Post-Vaccine Era COVID-19 Pandemic-related Distress in Palliative Care Patients with Advanced Cancer
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a source of distress in patients with advanced cancer; however, few studies have examined the extent of pandemic-related distress in the post-vaccine era.

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 3902: Irreversible Electroporation and Nivolumab Combined with Intratumoral Administration of a Toll-like Receptor Ligand, as a Means of In Vivo Vaccination for Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PANFIRE-III). A Phase-I Study Protocol

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel image-guided tumor ablation technique with the ability to generate a window for the establishment of systemic antitumor immunity. IRE transiently alters the tumor’s immunosuppressive microenvironment while simultaneously generating antigen release, thereby instigating an adaptive immune response. Combining IRE with immunotherapeutic drugs, i.e., electroimmunotherapy, has synergistic potential and might induce a durable antitumor response. The primary objective of this study is to assess the ...

No Family Should Suffer From Cervical Cancer Twice –The Palliative Care Role in HPV Prevention
Cervical cancer, caused by human papillomavirus infection, is the source of significant personal and societal burden, and robs more than one hundred thousand Indian women and their families of the chances of a healthy and productive life each year. As outlined by the World Health Organization, the three-pronged approach of screening, vaccination, and reduction in mortality by early treatment presents the possibility of the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem in the next decade.

A Shot at Inclusion: Reconsidering Categorical Exclusion of Hospice Patients from COVID Vaccine Allocation
The COVID vaccine offers the possibility of reducing morbidity and mortality from the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and hastening the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. In December of 2020, the Food and Drug Administration granted an Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus vaccines then with approvals in February for additional Janssen single-dose vaccines.1,2 Several governmental public health and academic institutions have produced ethical frameworks for the allocation of the COVID-19 vaccine.

What are Potential Complications of Ichthyosis?
Discussion
Ichthyosis is a large group of dermatological disorders which are caused by abnormal epidermal differentiation. The term ichthys means fish and refers to the scale-like dermatological pattern seen in these disorders.
Acquired ichthyosis is rare but more common in adults than children and has a rough, dry skin with prominent scaling, distributed symmetrically on the trunk and limbs (especially extensor surfaces), and is associated with autoimmune, infectious diseases, metabolic and malignant causes. Congenital or inherited ichthyosis is divided into non-syndromic (more common) and syndromic forms (generally ver...

Small Molecule Inhibitors Targeting Chikungunya Virus.
Authors: Haese N, Powers J, Streblow DN
Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection in humans is rarely fatal but is often associated with chronic joint and muscle pain. Chronic CHIKV disease is highly debilitating and is associated with viral persistence. To date, there are no approved vaccines or therapeutics to prevent or treat CHIKV infections once they are established. Current palliative treatments aim to reduce joint inflammation and pain associated with acute and chronic CHIKV disease. Development of novel therapeutics that reduces viral loads should positively impact virus inflammatory disease and improve ...

Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes a febrile disease associated with chronic arthralgia, which may progress to neurological impairment. Chikungunya fever (CF) is an ongoing public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, where control of the CHIKV vector, Aedes mosquitos, has failed. As there is no vaccine or specific treatment for CHIKV, patients receive only palliative care to alleviate pain and arthralgia. Thus, drug repurposing is necessary to identify antivirals against CHIKV. CHIKV RNA polymerase...

The Ethics of Keeping Alfie Alive
By SAURABH JHA
Of my time arguing with doctors, 30 % is spent convincing British doctors that their American counterparts aren’t idiots, 30 % convincing American doctors that British doctors aren’t idiots, and 40 % convincing both that I’m not an idiot.
A British doctor once earnestly asked whether American physicians carry credit card reading machines inside their white coats. Myths about the NHS can be equally comical. British doctors don’t prostate every morning in deference to the NHS, like the citizens of Oceania sang to Big Brother in Orwell’s dystopia. Nor, in their daily rounds, do they calculate opportun...

How Does Medical Virtual Reality Make Healthcare More Pleasant?
Medical virtual reality goes entirely against conventional beliefs about technology making healthcare less human, less empathetic and less caring. Virtual reality teaches empathy to med students, makes vaccination for children more sufferable, helps get rid of fears by treating phobias, relieves chronic pain or fulfills the last wishes of the dying.
The many faces of medical virtual reality
Although the use of virtual reality in healthcare is not widespread yet, the technology holds great promise. Goldman Sachs estimated in its 2016 report that 8 million physicians and medical technicians could make use of augmented reali...

Welcome to the DOG Patch: first in a series?
Lately my dander is up so often and so copiously, over what ' s happening in health care and the world at large, I ' m exhausted. Covered with nasty dander. Cowering under the sheets. Others seem to share this dysphoria. But I found if not a cure, at least a palliative. There ' s so much dander I can scrape it off with a great big shovel and toss as much as I can your way. Here ' s my first DanderOmnium Gatherum, or DOG, from the Cetona DOG Patch. Remember, these stories are all DOGs.Litmus Test for New HHS Secretary.
