Project description:The annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology is the largest multidisciplinary oncology-focused conference in the world. With more than 4900 total abstracts in 2021 alone, it is difficult for individuals to evaluate all the results. This article presents a review of 32 selected abstracts across all disease sites, focusing on those of greatest relevance to radiation oncologists.

Sleep Duration and Quality: Impact on Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiometabolic Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

Project description:Sleep is increasingly recognized as an important lifestyle contributor to health. However, this has not always been the case, and an increasing number of Americans choose to curtail sleep in favor of other social, leisure, or work-related activities. This has resulted in a decline in average sleep duration over time. Sleep duration, mostly short sleep, and sleep disorders have emerged as being related to adverse cardiometabolic risk, including obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. Here, we review the evidence relating sleep duration and sleep disorders to cardiometabolic risk and call for health organizations to include evidence-based sleep recommendations in their guidelines for optimal health.

Assessing Cardiac Metabolism: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

Project description:In a complex system of interrelated reactions, the heart converts chemical energy to mechanical energy. Energy transfer is achieved through coordinated activation of enzymes, ion channels, and contractile elements, as well as structural and membrane proteins. The heart's needs for energy are difficult to overestimate. At a time when the cardiovascular research community is discovering a plethora of new molecular methods to assess cardiac metabolism, the methods remain scattered in the literature. The present statement on "Assessing Cardiac Metabolism" seeks to provide a collective and curated resource on methods and models used to investigate established and emerging aspects of cardiac metabolism. Some of those methods are refinements of classic biochemical tools, whereas most others are recent additions from the powerful tools of molecular biology. The aim of this statement is to be useful to many and to do justice to a dynamic field of great complexity.

Project description:Background: Infections following prostate biopsy can be associated with significant morbidity and occasional mortality. Studies have suggested an increased incidence in post-biopsy sepsis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a bacteria sensitivity adapted antimicrobial prophylactic strategy on the incidence of sepsis post prostate biopsy.Methods: In October 2008, based on the prevalence of ciprofloxacin-resistant E.coli in the region, our institution modified the prophylactic regimen for prostate biopsy from oral ciprofloxacin alone to a combination of single-dose ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. If patients had a history of urosepsis, bacterial prostatitis, organ transplant, or fluoroquinolone use in the preceding 12 months, intramuscular ceftriaxone was administered for prophylaxis. Patients with penicillin allergy received gentamicin. We determined the incidence of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteremia 16 months before and 16 months after the change in antibiotic protocol.Results: Between June 2007 and September 2008, 9 of 847 (1.06%) patients were admitted with prostate biopsy induced bacteremia secondary to ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli. In the 16 months following introduction of the described prophylactic regimen, 1 of 989 (0.10%) patients suffered ciprofloxacin-resistant sepsis. The absolute reduction in E. coli sepsis was 0.96% (95%CI 0.2% to 1.7%; p=0.007). The number needed to treat is 104.Conclusions: Bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents is in evolution. Using a regional bacteria sensitivity based approach to biopsy prophylaxis, we have significantly decreased ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli sepsis in our patients. Regional bacteria sensitivity based protocols may decrease the incidence at other centers and warrants further study.
