Human semen quality is affected by genetic, metabolic, lifestyle and environmental factors. It is a sensitive marker of the general health status of an individual and a predictor of disease occurrence and mortality. Some studies suggested that a diet rich in anti-oxidant compounds and regular
Consecutive Sampling was used. It was a two-stage sampling method. Data was collected from patients visiting the Oncology Section at Atomic Energy Medical Centre Karachi from September 2017 to March 2018 on a proforma after being examined by the section head oncologist for the tumor. A standard
Biliary-related conditions, such as autoimmune conditions Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), and also cancers such as cholangiocarcinoma, affect tens of thousands of individuals in the UK each year. All biliary conditions require careful tracking of the
Oxaliplatin, in combination with 5-fluorouracil plus folinate (or capecitabine), has increased survival in stage III colorectal cancer and prolonged life in stage IV patients, but its use is compromised because of severe toxicity. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most
Although the underlying mechanisms of fatigue have been studied in several disease conditions (Bower et al., 2002; Brola et al., 2007), the etiology, mechanisms, and risk factors remain elusive, and this symptom remains poorly managed. Fatigue is conceptualized as a multidimensional symptom which
Objectives and hypothesis The scale and diversity of chemicals in worldwide use today is vast, ranging from pharmaceuticals and food products, to plastics, gasoline, and semiconductor chips. Many of these chemicals are released into the environment where they are found in air, water, soil, in house
For ovarian cancer, colorectal and gastric cancers presenting with peritoneal metastases, complete tumor removal at surgery is the most important independent prognostic factor. Consequently, accurate detection of tumors often compromising resectability, like extra-abdominal metastases, liver
Mangafodipir, manganese (Mn) dipyridoxyl diphosphate (MnDPDP) and its lipophile metabolite Mn dipyridoxyl diethylene diamide (MnPLED), are catalytic antioxidants and iron chelators. In preclinical studies these agents reduce oxidative stress induced injuries related to chemotherapy of cancer and to
Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer deaths among both genders in Hong Kong. In 2005, primary lung cancer accounted for 33% and 25% of all cancer deaths in men and women respectively. On average, there are around 4,000 new cases of lung cancer each year. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Phase 2 study aiming to assess the protective effect of mangafodipir against the oxaliplatine neuropathy.Population: Cancer patient who have a mild (grade 2) oxaliplatin neuropathy and in whom the continuation of oxaliplatin for at least 4 infusions is desirable will be include, whatever the
Mangafodipir, manganese (Mn) dipyridoxyl diphosphate, is a catalytic antioxidant and iron chelator recently (2006) suggested for cancer treatment in an Editorial in Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Preclinical research has shown that mangafodipir protects normal tissues without loss of
