Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa) can reverse the trend of ovarian reserve alterations after chemotherapy. The protection of ovarian function and the prevention of treatment-related reproductive damage in women with cancer will continue to be a pressing concern now and in the future. Oncologists and gynecologists have paid attention to this issue and developed clinical diagnoses...

Auditory-guided imagery can reduce multiple sclerosis patients’ fatigue and stigma and improve their mood. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the white matter (WM) with progressive neurodegeneration, and it is the most common cause of neurological impairment in young adults. This double-blind clinical trial was published in BMC Neurology and undertaken on...

Masitinib can help patients by slowing down the progression of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)-based impairment. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative, demyelinating, and inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. In terms of medication, the clinical course of MS is diverse, with patients falling into two major categories. The first group, relapsing disease, is...

MS involves the interaction between an aberrant immune response and predisposing genetic components. Gut microbiome dysbiosis leads to neuroinflammation and the development of MS symptoms. The gut microbiome is an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of MS.  Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative immune-mediated disease with a complex etiological basis. The disease is a...

The therapeutic efficacy of a 2-day levofloxacin course is comparable to that of a 7-day treatment course for acute COPD exacerbation. The typical period of administration of antibiotics for treating acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is approximately 5–7 days. Previous studies have not assessed the administration of a 2-day course of levofloxacin...

Disparities exist in the outcomes of younger and older adults with colorectal cancer, which may be influenced by delays in treatment. Younger patients may have longer pre-diagnostic delays and present with more advanced disease than older patients, according to a recent study.  The incidence of colorectal cancer in adults younger than 50 years has increased...

Different factors can influence prostate cancer treatment decisions, which can manifest in various ways across racial and ethnic groups. One study analyzed these differences, with findings that may provide guidance for future research.  Clinical guidelines suggest that patients with low-risk prostate cancer engage in active surveillance (AS), which includes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, rectal examination,...
