    Abstract Radiotherapy has been used to palliate cancer symptoms since shortly after the time that X rays were discovered late in the 1800's. The 20th century witnessed improvements in treatment planning and delivery that permitted radiotherapy to serve as a successful, timely, and cost-efficient palliative intervention. Palliative radiation oncology has risen to the level of its own subspecialty, as evidenced by the formation of palliative radiation oncology clinical services and dedicated palliative radiotherapy guidelines, while additional changes have begun to alter the very definition and goals of palliative radiotherapy. Local treatment may now be offered with dual goals of symptom relief and the potential for increased disease-free or overall survival. While these new directions show great promise, novel strategies must be formulated to manage the increased complexity, workload, and cost of these approaches.

    Abstract Management of bone metastasis is a multi-disciplinary effort that involves coordination between several medical specialties. External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) remains a powerful and efficient method of palliating pain and preventing skeletal complications from osseous metastasis. Various fractionation schemes, ranging from 8 Gy in a single dose to 30 Gy in 10 fractions, provide equivalent pain relief as demonstrated by dozens of randomized clinical trials. Toxicity profiles are well established and the treatment is generally well tolerated. Radiopharmaceuticals and high-dose, stereotactic radiation therapy are adjuncts to EBRT whose role is being elucidated through clinical trials. Multiple organizations have compiled guidelines and quality metrics to help refine the role of each modality in the management of painful osseous metastases.

    Abstract Radiation therapy is often used to palliate symptoms caused by cancer. Short course, or "hypofractionated" palliative radiation therapy provides equivalent palliation in the setting of non-osseous metastasis or uncontrolled localized cancer while being more convenient and cost-effective than longer courses of radiation. Hypofractionated palliative radiation plays a role in the management of obstruction due to tumor, neurologic symptoms, pain caused by localized bulky disease, and bleeding in patients with primary tumors of the lung, head and neck, bladder, rectum, gynecologic malignancies, and metastasis to the liver, lung and brain. Hypofractionated palliative radiation is well tolerated with minimal and self-limited side effects. The side effects that do occur are generally limited to the body region treated and last from a few days to a few weeks.

    Abstract Glucagon analogs show promise as components of next-generation, multi-target, anti-obesity therapeutics. The biology of chronic glucagon treatment, in particular, its ability to induce energy expenditure and weight loss, remains poorly understood. Using a long-acting glucagon analog, G108, we demonstrate that glucagon-mediated body weight loss is intrinsically linked to the hypoaminoacidemia associated with its known amino acid catabolic action. Mechanistic studies reveal an energy-consuming response to low plasma amino acids in G108-treated mice, prevented by dietary amino acid supplementation and mimicked by a rationally designed low amino acid diet. Therefore, low plasma amino acids are a pre-requisite for G108-mediated energy expenditure and weight loss. However, preventing hypoaminoacidemia with additional dietary protein does not affect the ability of G108 to improve glycemia or hepatic steatosis in obese mice. These studies provide a mechanism for glucagon-mediated weight loss and confirm the hepatic glucagon receptor as an attractive molecular target for metabolic disease therapeutics.

    Abstract Background: In Canterbury, near complete identification of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases during a limited outbreak provides unique insights into sequelae.
    Aims: The current study aimed to measure symptom persistence, time to return to normal activity, generalised anxiety and health-related quality of life (HrQoL) among COVID-19 survivors compared with uninfected participants.
    Methods: The authors conducted a prospective cohort study of people tested for COVID-19 by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of nasopharyngeal swabs from 1 March to 30 June 2020. They enrolled participants who tested positive and negative at a 1:2 ratio, and administered community-acquired pneumonia, 7-item generalised anxiety disorder (GAD-7) and HrQoL (RAND-36) questionnaires.
    Results: The authors recruited 145 participants, 48 with COVID-19 and 97 without COVID-19. The mean time from COVID-19 testing to completing the health questionnaire was 306 days. The mean age of patients was 46.7 years, and 70% were women. Four (8%) COVID-19-positive and eight (8%) COVID-19-negative participants required hospitalisation. Fatigue (30/48 [63%] vs 13/97 [13%]; P < 0.001), dyspnoea (13/48 [27%] vs 6/97 [6%]; P < 0.001) and chest pain (10/48 [21%] vs 1/97 [1%]; P < 0.001) were persistent in those with COVID-19. Fewer COVID-19-positive participants returned to normal activity levels (35/48 [73%] vs 94/97 97%; P < 0.001), with longer times taken (median 21 vs 14 days; P = 0.007). The GAD-7 and RAND-36 scores of both groups were similar across all anxiety and HrQoL subscales.
    Conclusions: Persistent symptoms and longer recovery times were found in COVID-19 survivors, but not impaired generalised anxiety levels or HrQoL compared with COVID-19-uninfected participants.
