    Abstract Metabolic illnesses, including obesity and type 2 diabetes, have become worldwide epidemics that have an effect on public health. Clinical investigations and further exploration of these mechanisms could lead to innovative, effective, and personalized treatment strategies for individuals. It is important to screen biomarkers in previous studies to discover what is missing. Glucagon-like peptide-1's role in insulin secretion and glucose control highlights its diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide's influence on postprandial satiety and weight management signifies its importance in understanding metabolic processes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1's involvement in inflammation and insulin resistance underlines its value as a diagnostic marker. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7's association with insulin sensitivity and kidney function presents it as a potential target for these diseases' management. In validating these biomarkers, it will be easier to reflect pathophysiological processes, and clinicians will be able to better assess disease severity, monitor disease progression, and tailor treatment strategies. The purpose of the study was to elucidate the significance of identifying novel biomarkers for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, which can revolutionize early detection, risk assessment, and personalized treatment strategies. Standard literature searches of PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were conducted in the year 2023 to identify both original RCTs and recent systematic reviews that have explored the importance of identifying novel biomarkers for T2D and obesity. This search produced 1964 results, and then was reduced to randomized controlled trial and systematic reviews, producing 145 results and 44 results, respectively. Researchers have discovered potential associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity and the biomarkers glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7. Understanding the role of those biomarkers in disease pathogenesis offers hope for improving diagnostics, personalized treatment, and prevention strategies.

    Abstract Objectives: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, neurodegenerative disorder without effective treatment. Progressive dysphagia, depression, and hypermetabolism may lead to malnutrition. The aim of the present study was to analyze the potential utility of readily available, relatively inexpensive, and rapid strategy for using laboratory parameters to assess nutritional status of ALS patients.
    Methods: This study included 203 patients with ALS. The analysis of inflammatory parameters: C Reactive Protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell count (WBC), lymphocytes number (LN), and fibrinogen concentration (FC) was followed by nutritional markers: serum concentration of albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PALB), transferrin (TRNF), and creatinine (CREA), which were correlated with demographic and clinical parameters: body mass index (BMI), ALS phenotype, disease duration, diagnosis delay, and functional and respiratory assessment.
    Results: Nearly 20% of patients had biochemical features of inflammation. Among patients without inflammation (n = 163), a decreased serum TRNF concentration was found in 84% of cases, PALB in 39%, ALB in 25%, and CREA in 53%. The median of PALB was the highest in patients with PMA (23.5 mg/dL) and the lowest in PBP (16.6 mg/dL) (p < 0.05). The CREA concentration correlated with the BMI (r = 0.25; p < 0.01), while PALB and TRNF significantly varied depending on the severity of dysphagia. Patients with dysphagia qualified to enteral nutrition showed significantly decreased concentration of PALB, triglycerides, as well as reduced forced vital capacity, BMI, and functional status.
    Conclusions: CREA, PALB, ALB, and TNFR are easily accessible, accurate, and low-cost parameters useful in assessment of the nutritional status in ALS.

    Abstract One in three women of reproductive age is obese. The mainstay treatment for obesity is bariatric surgery, and the following weight reduction results in a decrease in pregnancy adverse effects, including gestational diabetes mellitus, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and macrosomia. However, nutritional and vitamin deficiencies due to changes in the gastrointestinal tract after bariatric surgery are associated with an increase in the risk of fetal growth retardation and small for gestational-age neonates. The purpose of this review was to analyze the available recent literature on the subject of the management of pregnancy after bariatric surgery. We searched for available articles from 2007 to 2023 and chose articles of the greatest scientific and clinical value. Micronutrient, vitamin, and protein supplementation is recommended in the prenatal period and throughout the pregnancy. It is advised that pregnant women with a history of bariatric surgery should be provided with regular specialist dietary care. There is still a lack of recommendations about the optimum gestational weight gain after different types of bariatric surgery and for patients of different metabolic statuses. Women of reproductive age undergoing bariatric procedures should be provided with appropriate counseling about adequate contraception, the recommended time-to-conception interval, and the positive and negative influence of bariatric surgery on perinatal outcomes.

    Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex system composed of multiple cells, such as non-cancerous fibroblasts, adipocytes, immune and vascular cells, as well as signal molecules and mediators. Tumor cells recruit and reprogram other cells to produce factors that maintain tumor growth. Communication between cancerous and surrounding cells is a two-way process and engages a diverse range of mechanisms that, in consequence, can lead to rapid proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance, or can serve as a tumors-suppressor, e.g., through tumor-immune cell interaction. Cross-talk within the cancer microenvironment can be direct by cell-to-cell contact via adhesion molecules, electrical coupling, and passage through gap junctions, or indirect through classical paracrine signaling by cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular vesicles. Therapeutic approaches for modulation of cell-cell communication may be a promising strategy to combat tumors. In particular, integrative approaches targeting tumor communication in combination with conventional chemotherapy seem reasonable. Currently, special attention is paid to suppressing the formation of open-ended channels as well as blocking exosome production or ablating their cargos. However, many aspects of cell-to-cell communication have yet to be clarified, and, in particular, more work is needed in regard to mechanisms of bidirectional signal transfer. Finally, it seems that some interactions in TEM can be not only cancer-specific, but also patient-specific, and their recognition would help to predict patient response to therapy.

    Abstract Background: The Mindray BC-6200 is a new automatic hematology analyzer that quantifies the parameters of blood morphology and leukocyte differential in five populations (5-Diff). The aim of the study was to evaluate the BC-6200 and compare it with the Siemens ADVIA 2120i analyzer.
    Materials and methods: The comparison between BC-6200 and ADVIA 2120i analyzers was performed using 390 whole blood samples collected on K
    Results: The BC-6200 analyzer showed a high correlation (r ≥ .97) with ADVIA 2120i for most of the compared parameters except RDW (r = .8350), MPV (r = .7634), Mon# (r = .8366), Baso# (r = .9205), and NRBC (r = .3768). The BC-6200 had better correlation with microscopic evaluation for NRBC (r = .8902) compared with ADVIA 2120i (r = .5677). The BC-6200 has shown high efficiency for flagging blasts (80.4%), immature granulocytes (80.5%), and atypical lymphocytes (69.0%).
    Conclusion: The new Mindray BC-6200 hematology analyzer provides high measurements precision and good correlation with ADVIA 2120i for most of the morphology and 5-diff parameters.

    Abstract New Medicine Service (NMS) components are an important element to improve patient compliance with medical recommendations. NMS provides support to patients prescribed new medicines, helping them to manage long-term conditions. The purpose of this service is to provide patients with advice, guidelines, and educational materials regarding the use of new medicines to increase patient compliance and therapy safety. The NMS has already been introduced in many European countries. This review aims to identify the benefits and potential barriers to implementing the NMS in community pharmacies and to suggest solutions that would increase its effectiveness. Previous studies have primarily shown that the NMS improves patient compliance with therapy, accelerating the expected effects of the therapy. Pharmacist support during implementation of a new drug therapy substantially increases patient safety. As the experience of numerous countries shows, both pharmacists and patients express positive opinions on this service. Therefore, it seems that NMS should be an indispensable part of pharmaceutical patient care in any healthcare system. This article aims to review the implementation of the New Medicine Service (NMS) for community pharmacists in Poland and the provision of a cost-effective approach to improve patient adherence to newly-prescribed medicine for chronic diseases.
