Background
Mood alterations, particularly depression, are defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) as "multi-factorial unpleasant emotional experiences of psychological (cognitive, behavioral, emotional), social and/or spiritual nature that may interfere with the ability to cope
The term "mucositis" was introduced to describe inflammation of the oral mucosa induced by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. At present, oral mucositis is considered to be the most serious non-hematological complication of cancer treatment.
Numerous predisposing factors
Military deployment is associated with exposure to novel particulate matter (PM), such as from burn pits, aeroallergens, and increased cigarette consumption. War fighters exposed to these inhalational exposures exhibit immediate and chronic respiratory morbidity. For example, military service

Particulate matter (PM) is a leading cause of respiratory tract and cardiovascular disease in the United States and world-wide. Wood smoke particles (WSP) derived from wildland and other fires account for a significant fraction of ambient air PM. Health effects associated with WSP include acute
Allergic asthma (AA) is the most commonly encountered respiratory disease in children and adults in the United States and is a leading cause of morbidity worldwide. Among the most disruptive expressions of disease in AA is acute asthma exacerbation. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) lists ambient

BACKGROUND. Parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) is a common complication of prolonged and exclusive parenteral nutrition (PN). PNAC in neonates and infants is multifactorial, including the underlying pathology and the effect of certain PN nutrients. In preterm infants, hepatic
In previous studies the investigators have demonstrated that gamma-tocopherol-enriched (yT) supplementation decreased systemic oxidative stress, increased serum levels of yT, and inhibited monocyte responses to LPS without any adverse health effects. Free Radic Biol Med. 2008 Jul 1;45(1):40-9. doi:
Geographical differences in the incidence of CardioVascular Disease (CVD) show a lower risk in countries of south Europe compared with north and east Europe and USA. The Mediterranean Diet (MD) has been the most frequently invoked factor to explain these differences, but the underlying mechanisms

While it is well known that smoking cessation reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the rate in which CVD risk is normalized is relatively slow. This suggests a need to better define co-therapies that target oxidative stress and inflammatory responses that otherwise impair vascular
Aim
The aim of this pilot randomized study is to verify whether the addition of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol to the blood-side layer of a synthetic polysulfone dialyser membrane has a clinical advantage in terms of ESA responsiveness and, consequently, the anemic status of hemodialysed
This is designed as an open label study of the effect of 600 mg and 1200mg gamma tocopherol (gt), orally administered daily for 8 days, on serum antioxidant levels in asthmatics and healthy volunteers. Each course of gamma tocopherol will be followed by a 7-8 day wash out period and serum testing to
