Crimson Publishers_ Novel Approaches in Cancer Study

Written by Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, balanced and orderly nutrition is essential for a woman to ensure optimum health and thus be able to carry out her duties as wives, mothers, workers and members of society. Healthy women can continue to contribute to their families and countries. This book aims to guide women on good nutrition and how to practice them in the family. This is because women are important individuals in ensuring that the family and their family members receive the best nutrition and health care. Healthy food at the individual and family level will be able to develop a healthier society and have a healthy quality of life. This booklet is hopefully useful as a helpful guide for doctors, nurses and other health professionals as an alternative to the usual approach to nutritional needs aspects among Malaysian women. As a health professional who is concerned with the treatment of illness, we often miss that nutrition is a preventative disease. Good nutrition is a major component of good health and overall wellbeing. This is true in women’s health care. Unlike men, the woman’s body through changes in line with the most dramatic change in life is when pregnant and breast-feeding. Their nutritional requirements also change to meet the physiological changes and protect themselves from the risk of disease at every stage of life. The most effective health care is where we can give women the right nutritional advice while aware of the uniqueness of women. Until then, we can empower women to realize their responsibility for their own health as well as their families.

Recent Advances in the Therapeutic Approaches of Glioblastoma Multiforme_Crimson Publishers

  Recent Advances in the Therapeutic Approaches of Glioblastoma Multiforme by Siddharth Shah in  in Novel Approaches in Cancer Study Abstract Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM, WHO grade IV) is one of the most aggressive, invasive, and lethal intracranial neoplasms, with a low post-diagnosis survival rate. Standard-of-care treatment regimens involving maximal surgical resection, radiotherapy, and genetic anti-tumor compounds like Temozolomide have only been marginally effective in improving overall survival and quality of life. Cell fusion, autophagy, and other complex biological processes affecting GBM pathophysiology are being studied to improve GBM treatment. This paper therefore focuses on oncolytic virus therapy combined with surgical resection, photodynamic therapy, and novel gene therapy, demonstrating how GBM treatment for patients could result in immediate and authentic tumor cytotoxicity and removal, rather than treatment of recurrent GBM. Standard therapy for GBM,...

Release of Inorganic Phosphate into the Tumor Environment: Possible Roles of Ecto- Nucleotidases and Ecto-Phosphatases

Abstract Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential for several biochemical reaction. Serum Pi is maintained at relatively narrow range concentrations, between 0.7 and 1.55mM. Tumor microenvironment presents a high Pi concentration (1.8±0.2mM Pi) and this could be associated wi the rapid growth in the “Growth Rate Hypothesis”. Several studies have identified high expression of Pi transporters in various tumor tissues. Similarly, ecto-enzymes (like ecto-nucleotidases or ecto- phosphates) act by dephosphorylating phosphosubstrates in the extracellular environment, and its high expression has been observed in various types of cancer. Little is known about the function of these ecto-enzymes on Pi releasing and accumulation in the tumor environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to correlate a possible contribution of the Pi release in the tumor microenvironment by ecto-nucleotidases and ecto-phosphatases, concomitant to the regulation of Pi extracellular pool by specific Pi...
