Influence of genetic variants of oxidative stress related genes on prognosis an...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the presence of BCR-ABL1 oncogene. Oxidative stress conditions are crucial in tumor development and progression. The NRF2, codified by NFE2L2 gene, plays a central role in redox balance, promoting the transcription of cytoprotective and antioxidant genes such as SOD2, GPX1 and CAT. The action of this transcription factor is regulat...

The treatment of chronic neutropenias and control of neutropenia-related infections remain challenging topics for pediatric and adult hematologists. This article aims to fill the gap in the treatment of neutropenias and, in combination with the previously published European guidelines on diagnosis of neutropenias, gives complete and comprehensive guidance on the whole management of patients with neutropenia. In...

Determining treatment pathways for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia: ...

Introduction: Achieving remission and prolonging duration of response are the primary treatment objectives for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, identifying the best approach for older patients poses a significant challenge. This review explores the treatment pathways for older patients, especially those not eligible for stem cell transplantation and emphasizes the importance of optimizing ou...

Health needs: a developing concept according to Rodgers' evolutionary approach

Introduction: the study of human needs by Aristotle, Freud and Murray reveals their importance in shaping personality. Aristotle sees need as something inevitable, while Freud links it to the basic impulses of the id. Murray distinguishes between primary and secondary needs, which are essential for psychological well-being. Understanding these needs is crucial for human development. The aim of this study is to ...

Fitness assessment in acute myeloid leukemia: recommendations from an expert pa...

Fitness assessment in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is critical to deliver the right therapy to the right patient. Although several scoring systems are available to aid in determining fitness, the absence of validation studies has resulted in the lack of universally accepted assessment procedures. This limitation, combined with the increasing availability of novel agents expanding the spectrum of l...

Biodiversity vs. geodiversity in landscape appreciation: What do Portuguese and...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify, via questionnaire, the landscape preferences of 336 pre-service teachers—219 from a metropolitan area in Portugal and 117 from a rural area in Spain. Eight natural landscapes were assessed, each characterised by geodiversity, biodiversity, and cultural features. Overall, Portuguese students showed stronger preferences, possibly due to Spanish students’ familiarity with nat...
