This narrative review synthesizes pressure-injury assessment and prevention in adults with advanced cancer. Risk assessment should combine structured tools with clinical judgment. Key risks include age, nutritional compromise, moisture, immobility, positioning, and symptom burden. A comfort-prioritized, risk-stratified framework integrates prevention, prognosis, symptom control, intervention burden, and goal-concordant care.

Pressure Injury Prevention in Advanced Cancer: A Narrative Review and Proposed Comfort-Prioritized, Risk-Stratified Framework

Patients with advanced cancer are particularly vulnerable to pressure injury (PI) because of immobility, symptom-related positioning constraints, moisture ...

The present protocol has been devised to assess the effect of repetitive magnetic stimulation on microglia's ability to phagocytose myelin debris. An in vitro microglia and myelin debris co-culture system has been established to do so.

Assessing Microglial Phagocytosis of Myelin Debris in vitro Under Repeated Magnetic Stimulation

Microglia, the resident phagocytes of the central nervous system (CNS), play a pivotal role in maintaining CNS integrity and homeostasis by removing ...
