Cisplatin-based chemotherapy has long been the standard first-line (1L) treatment for metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). However, up to 50% of patients with mUC may be ineligible cisplatin owing comorbidities, necessitating alternative primary options. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as a vital those unable receive cisplatin. Nevertheless, prognosis advanced UC remains dire and challenges persist in optimizing 1L therapy. Recent medical advancements redirected attention towards innovative drug combinations mUC. The combination enfortumab vedotin (EV) pembrolizumab shown significantly improved overall progression-free survival rates compared alone.

Since Albert Szent-Györgyi discovered it and became used in treating scurvy, vitamin C has attracted interest many studies due to its unique properties. It is an important cofactor the synthesis of collagen hormones, involved immunity, iron absorption, processes requiring antioxidants. Thus, this review aims emphasize importance usefulness improving quality life preventing various diseases (e.g., chronic diseases, cardiovascular cancer) but also for use treatments against infections, neurodegenerative cancer. Although presented provide essential information about properties VIC beneficial effect on health, some contradict these theories. In respect, further larger samples over a longer period are needed demonstrate therapeutic potential nutrient. However, remains necessary that should be consumed daily maintain optimal health prevent deficiencies can lead scurvy associated complications.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent inflammation and progressive joint destruction. Recent data underscore oxidative stress as primary factor in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis, intensifying inflammatory processes tissue damage via overproduction reactive oxygen species (ROS) compromised antioxidant defenses. Current therapies, including disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), primarily target immune dysregulation but fail to address stress, necessitating novel adjunctive treatment strategies. This review explores potential antioxidant-based therapies complementary approaches RA management. Natural compounds such curcumin, resveratrol, sulforaphane, propolis exhibit strong anti-inflammatory antioxidative properties modulating redox-sensitive pathways, nuclear kappa-light-chain-enhancer activated B cells (NF-κB) erythroid 2-related 2(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase (HO-1). N-acetylcysteine (NAC) replenishes intracellular glutathione, enhancing cellular resilience against stress. Additionally, molecular hydrogen (H2) selectively neutralizes harmful ROS, reducing inflammation. The role vitamin supplementation (D, B12, C, K) regulating responses protecting structures also discussed. aims evaluate efficacy clinical applications RA, emphasizing their mitigating improving outcomes. While preliminary findings are promising, further trials needed establish standardized dosing, long-term safety, integration into current protocols.

Vitamin C (VC) and B9 (VB9) are essential micronutrients integral to numerous biological functions critical for maintaining human health. The rapid detection of these vitamins is important verifying nutritional supplements aiding in clinical diagnoses. This study combined terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) with metasurface technology develop a fast, sensitive, non-destructive method VC VB9. Firstly, we determined the characteristic absorption peaks molecular vibration modes VB9 within 0.5–4.0 THz range through quantum chemical calculation THz-TDS measurement. Then, designed fabricated biosensor match its resonance peak communal VB9, enhancing interaction between waves vitamins. Using this biosensor, analyzed solutions different concentrations An increase vitamin resulted frequency shifts peak. Quantifiable relationships were established. limits achieved 158.82 ng/µL 353.57 respectively. not only demonstrates high sensitivity but also simplifies operational process, offering an innovative tool applications food safety monitoring diagnostics.

VitC je důležitý jako redukční činidlo a podílí se na mnoha biologických procesech, včetně syntézy kolagenu neurotransmiterů. Cílem této práce bylo kriticky zhodnotit dostupné informace o potenciálu intravenózně podávaného (IVC) v onkologii diskutovat případy, kdy by jeho použití mohlo být indikováno využitím literárního přehledu dostupných vědeckých publikací zaměřených IVC léčbě rakoviny. Zahrnuty byly z posledních 2 dekád, studií fáze I-III, které hodnotily bezpečnost, snášenlivost účinnost IVC. Vysokodávkový má potenciál doplňková léčba onkologii, zejména kombinaci s chemoterapií radioterapií. Další rozsáhlé studie jsou však zapotřebí k potvrzení těchto nálezů definování optimálního dávkování aplikačních schémat ve specifických indikacích.
