Prostate cancer is estimated to be the second most common malignancy in men in the USA in 2020 and represents the second highest mortality from cancer behind lung and bronchial neoplasms. Management of advanced prostate cancer is evolving. Medical androgen deprivation therapy is currently a cornerstone of therapy for prostate cancer; however molecular mechanisms of resistance have emerged leading to castration-resistant prostate cancer that is proliferation of prostate cancer in the setting of low testosterone ( less then  50 ng/dl). The benefit of double androgen blockade like ADT plus abiraterone acetate or androgen receptor blockers is proven in many clinical trials; however multiple mechanisms of resistance still exist. In theory, another layer of androgen blockade will prevent, or at least slow, prostate cancer proliferation. This direction of thought has recently been explored with multiple clinical trials. In this review article, we summarize the current knowledge regarding androgen resistance, newer androgen inhibition therapies, and the implications of a triple-arm anti-androgen blockade in advanced prostate cancer.The increasing prevalence of cancer, a disease in which rapid and uncontrollable cell growth causes complication and tissue dysfunction, is one of the serious and tense concerns of scientists and physicians. Nowadays, cancer diagnosis and especially its effective treatment have been considered as one of the biggest challenges in health and medicine in the last century. Despite significant advances in drug discovery and delivery, their many adverse effects and inadequate specificity and sensitivity, which usually cause damage to healthy tissues and organs, have been great barriers in using them. Limitation in the duration and amount of these therapeutic agents' administration is also challenging. On the other hand, the incidence of tumor cells that are resistant to typical methods of cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, highlights the intense need for innovation, improvement, and development in antitumor drug properties. Liposomes have been suggested as a suitable candidate for drug delivery and cancer treatment in nanomedicine due to their ability to store drugs with different physical and chemical characteristics. Moreover, the high flexibility and potential of liposome structure for chemical modification by conjugating various polymers, ligands, and molecules is a significant pro for liposomes not only to enhance their pharmacological merits but also to improve the effectiveness of anticancer drugs. Liposomes can increase the sensitivity, specificity, and durability of these anti-malignant cell agents in the body and provide remarkable benefits to be applied in nanomedicines. We reviewed the discovery and development of liposomes focusing on their clinical applications to treat diverse sorts of cancers and diseases. How the properties of liposomal drugs can be improved and their opportunity and challenges for cancer therapy were also considered and discussed. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most prevalent diseases around the world; however, finding the best noninvasive, low-cost, and more easily accessible test for its screening has been a challenge for several years. Eighty-nine patients suspected of stable CAD underwent 2D-speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) at resting position and offline longitudinal myocardial strain analysis, followed by coronary angiography. The correlation of the global longitudinal strain (GLS) and territorial longitudinal strain (TLS) with significant CAD (70% and more stenosis in at least one coronary artery) was then evaluated. The statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between low GLS and significant CAD (P=0.0001). The results also showed a significant correlation between low TLS and significant CAD in the left and right coronary artery territories. The optimal cut-off point of GLS for the detection of significant CAD was -19.25, with a sensitivity of 76.5% and specificity of 76.6%. This study confirmed the usefulness of 2DSTE myocardial strain analysis in diagnosis of CAD for detecting the affected coronary arteries using GLS and SLS. This study confirmed the usefulness of 2DSTE myocardial strain analysis in diagnosis of CAD for detecting the affected coronary arteries using GLS and SLS. Soil CO efflux is considered to mainly derive from biotic activities, while potential contribution of abiotic processes has been mostly neglected especially in productive ecosystems with highly active soil biota. We collected a subtropical forest soil to sterilize for incubation under different temperature (20 and 30 °C) and moisture regimes (30%, 60 and 90% of water holding capacity), aiming to quantify contribution of abiotic and biotic soil CO emission under changing environment scenarios. Results showed that abiotic processes accounted for a considerable proportion (15.6-60.0%) of CO emission in such a biologically active soil under different temperature and moisture conditions, and the abiotic soil CO emission was very likely to derive from degradation of soil organic carbon via thermal degradation and oxidation of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, compared with biotically driving decomposition processes, abiotic soil CO emission was less sensitive to changes in temperature and moisture, causing reductions in proportion of the abiotic to total soil CO emission as temperature and moisture increased. These observations highlight that abiotic soil CO emission is unneglectable even in productive ecosystems with high biological activities, and different responses of the abiotic and biotic processes to environmental changes could increase the uncertainty in predicting carbon cycling.

This prospective non-randomized pilot study was conducted during 7 months with standardized data collected in a French rheumatology department. Patients with rheumatic diseases and non-cancer pain requiring opioid treatment were included. The intervention group had a 30-min opioid-targeted pharmaceutical interview and received a full medication plan and the control group received usual care. A total of 17 patients were included in the intervention group and 18 in the control group. Among patients in the intervention group, only 6 (35%) knew that immediate-release opioids have a rapid and short action, 9 (53%) were worried about taking opioids, and 13 (76%) reported that they would refer to the information document provided if side effects occurred.
