The Impact of Chronic Pelvic Pain and Bowel Morbidity on Quality of Life in Cervical Cancer Patients Treated With Radio (Chemo) Therapy. A Systematic Literature Review by Natuhwera G, Ellis P

“…Germanus Natuhwera,1,2 Peter Ellis3 1Clinical and Administration Departments, Hospice Africa Uganda, Kampala, Uganda; 2Education Department, Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care in Africa, Kampala, Uganda; 3Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury, UKCorrespondence: Germanus Natuhwera, Email [email protected]; [email protected]: Introduction: Radiotherapy, administered with or without chemotherapy is the gold standard treatment for cervical cancer with both curative and palliative intent. However, the treatments often result in adverse events, mainly chronic pelvic pain and bowel morbidity, which can negatively impact quality of life.Aim: To systematically appraise peer reviewed evidence regarding chronic pelvic pain and bowel morbidity and their impact on quality-of-life of cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy with or without chemoradiation therapy.Design: A systematic review of original peer-reviewed research evidence.Data Collection Methods and Tools: A systematic search conducted between April and May 2021, and updated in September 2024, using PubMed, Hinari, CINAHL and Google Scholar, for peer reviewed papers published between 2008 and 2019. …”

Hypothermia regulates mitophagy and apoptosis via PINK1/Parkin-VDAC 3 signaling pathway during oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery injury by Luying Zhang, Song Yang, Hao Cui, Chenchen Hang, Xingsheng Wang, Le An, Zhenyu Shan, Zhen Liang, Rui Shao, Ziren Tang

“…In conclusion, the potential mechanisms of hypothermia during oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery could be summarized as follows:1) At 2 h after temperature intervention, hypothermia provided neuroprotective effects via promoting mitophagy and reducing apoptosis through activating the PINK1/Parkin-VDAC3 signaling pathway. 2) The curative effect of hypothermia was timeliness. At 4 h after temperature intervention, hypothermia aggravated apoptosis through inhibiting Parkin recruitment to mitochondria and aggravating the release of Cyt C through open mPTP.…”
