Summary
Malnutrition is common in oncohematological patients, impacting treatment and quality of life. A multidisciplinary nutritional intervention protocol is proposed to improve patient outcomes in lymphoma and leukaemia.
Area of Science:
- Oncohematology
- Clinical Nutrition
- Patient Management
Background:
- Oncohematological diseases like lymphoma and leukaemia are increasing globally.
- Disease progression and cancer treatments negatively impact patient nutritional status.
- Malnutrition is prevalent in oncohematological patients, compromising treatment response and quality of life.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a standardized nutritional intervention protocol for oncohematological patients.
- To address the challenges of malnutrition in cancer care.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on nutritional status in oncohematological malignancies.
- Clinical practice analysis from a specialized multidisciplinary team.
- Development of a systematic and protocolled nutritional assessment approach.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive protocol for nutritional intervention in oncohematological patients is presented.
- The protocol integrates evidence-based practices and clinical expertise.
Conclusions:
- A multidisciplinary and protocolled approach is crucial for managing nutritional status in oncohematological patients.
- The proposed protocol aims to optimize patient care and clinical outcomes.

01:28Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...
01:25Hemodialysis III: Nursing Management
The nursing management of a patient undergoing hemodialysis includes several critical steps, starting with a thorough assessment before the procedure.Before the Hemodialysis ProcedureFirst, record the patient's vital signs—blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature—to establish a baseline. This baseline is essential for detecting conditions such as hypotension that could impact the patient's response to dialysis. Document the patient's pre-dialysis weight, as this measurement...
01:22Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...

02:49Cancer Therapies
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...
02:56Treatment Resistant Cancers
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
