Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is strongly associated with treatment in the minds of many oncology patients, and its occurrence is rated as one of the most dreaded and stressful complications. For most patients, adherence to recommendations for antiemetic prophylaxis can successfully prevent the occurrence of CINV. A review article published last year by an international team of authors in the journal Future Oncology provides an overview of the current spectrum of options in CINV prophylaxis, focusing on the first combined preparation in this indication, containing the active substances netupitant and palonosetron.Source: Antiemetic Therapy 31. 3. 2020Články časopisu Why do we still hesitate to accept the new international criteria for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus?

A newly published study has demonstrated the utility of imaging using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and its interpretation using PI-RADS version 2 (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) in predicting unfavorable disease outcomes in patients with prostate cancer suitable for active surveillance.Source: Prostate Health Index 4. 6. 2020News Case of Heparin Allergy and Preventive Administration of Fondaparinux in Pregnancy – Case Study
The presented case study discusses a complicated case of a 40-year-old woman with essential thrombocythemia (ET), a history of intrauterine fetal death, and recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE).

Arthritis can appear in up to a third of patients with psoriasis, mostly after the onset of skin symptoms. Early recognition of this transition by dermatologists and general practitioners is crucial, as early intervention can prevent irreversible joint damage. In the context of effective biological therapy, there is even talk of the potential prevention of arthritis development in individuals with psoriasis.Source: Rheumatic Diseases 20. 6. 2024News Estimated Worldwide Prevalence of Population with AAT Deficiency with MZ Alleles
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) with the MZ genotype was until recently associated with negligible or low risk for lung and liver tissue damage. However, growing evidence suggests that carriers of MZ alleles are at increased risk of organ damage when exposed to tobacco smoke, polluted air, or hepatotoxic substances. Moreover, according to a global epidemiological study, the prevalence of the MZ genotype is very common, especially among Caucasians in Europe and other continents.Source: Deficiency of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin 14. 11. 2022News Key Role of HRCT in Diagnosing Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is often an unjustly overlooked disease. The truth is that it is a rare disease, but the prognosis for patients is very poor. To improve quality of life and chances of longer survival, early diagnosis is crucial, with imaging methods, specifically high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), playing a key role.Source: Pulmonary Fibrosis 15. 4. 2020News Current (and Future) Possibilities for Diagnosing Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AAT) is associated, among other things, with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with emphysema. Most patients, however, remain undiagnosed and therefore do not receive adequate treatment. Below we summarize the current possibilities for diagnosing this genetic disorder.Source: Deficiency of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin 25. 2. 2022
