Molecular regulatory networks of microplastics and cadmium mediated hepatotoxicity from NAFLD to tumorigenesis via integrated approaches by Yuhan Li, Yulun Jian, Jinjin Zhou, Min Zhang, Yanfeng Zhou, Yang Ge, Hui Wang, Wei Mu

“…Microplastics (MPs), as emerging environmental pollutants, not only possess inherent toxicity but also adsorb or carry other hazardous substances, such as the carcinogen cadmium (Cd), leading to more complex public health issues. Exposure to MPs and Cd has been shown to induce liver injury, with each pollutant triggering distinct toxicological pathways and pathological processes. …”

Virtual care for prostate cancer survivorship: protocol for an evaluation of a nurse-led algorithm-enhanced virtual clinic implemented at five cancer centres across Canada by Antonio Finelli, Ricardo Rendon, Joseph A Cafazzo, Robert Hamilton, Alejando Berlin, Jacqueline L Bender, Denise Bryant-Lukosius, Quynh Pham, Jason Hearn, Ian Brown, Andrew H Feifer, Geoffrey Gotto

“…Building on their viability, our research group conceived the Ned Clinic—a virtual PCa survivorship model that provides patients with access to lab results, collects patient-reported outcomes, alerts clinicians to emerging issues, and promotes patient self-care. Despite the promise of the Ned Clinic, the model remains limited by its dependence on oncology specialists, lack of an autonomous triage algorithm, and has only been implemented among PCa survivors living in Ontario.Methods and analysis Our programme of research comprises two main research objectives: (1) to evaluate the process and cost of implementing and sustaining five nurse-led virtual PCa survivorship clinics in three provinces across Canada and identify barriers and facilitators to implementation success and (2) to assess the impact of these virtual clinics on implementation and effectiveness outcomes of enrolled PCa survivors. …”
