Gastrointestinal dysfunctions in individuals with autism spectrum disorder are poorly understood, although they common among this group of patients. FOXP1 haploinsufficiency is characterized by autistic behavior, language impairment, and intellectual disability, but feeding difficulties gastrointestinal problems have also been reported. Whether these primary impairments, the result altered eating or side effects psychotropic medication remains unclear. To address question, we investigated...

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as an essential therapeutic approach in treating many solid tumors. ICIs enhance the body’s anti-tumor T-cell activity, resulting a novel spectrum of immunotherapy-related side effects. This adverse events differs significantly from effects conventional chemotherapy. It, therefore, requires special attention diagnosis and management (irAEs). The present study aimed to retrospectively analyze incidence, diagnosis, irAEs patients...

Perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have been associated with increased morbidity and worse oncological outcome in some solid neoplasms. In order to elucidate whether RBC themselves, the preoperative anemia of cancer (AOC), or impaired global health status might explain this impact on patients endometrial (EC) ovarian (OC), we performed a retrospective, single-institution cohort study. Women older than 60 years EC OC were included. The influence transfusions, AOC, frailty...

Breast cancer (BC) poses a challenge in establishing new treatment strategies and identifying prognostic predictive markers due to the extensive genetic heterogeneity of BC. Very few studies have investigated impact mRNA expression these genes on survival BC patients. Methods: We examined breast gene type 1 (BRCA1), 2 (BRCA2), partner localizer BRCA2 (PALB2) metastasis-free (MFS) patients with early using microarray analysis.

Abstract Purpose Frailty is a frequent and underdiagnosed multidimensional age-related syndrome, involving decreased physiological performance reserves marked vulnerability against major stressors. To standardize the preoperative frailty assessment identify patients at risk of adverse surgical outcomes, commonly used global health tools were evaluated. We aimed to assess three interdisciplinary screening assessments investigate influence status with in-hospital complications irrespective...

Introduction: Metronomic chemotherapy (MCT) is increasingly used in oncology due to its favorable therapeutic index. There still a lack of evidence for MCT metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In this retrospective unicenter study, we demonstrated real-word data on MBC. Methods: MBC patients who received metronomic oral cyclophosphamide (CTX) (50 mg daily) and methotrexate (MTX) (2.5 every other day), CTX capecitabine (CAPE) (500 thrice daily), CTX, or vinorelbine (VRL) (30 alone at least 4 weeks...
