The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of exercise therapy during medical antineoplastic treatment in older patients (≥ 65 years) with cancer. A systematic review following the Cochrane guidelines was performed. Randomized controlled trials were identified through a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL up to December 2019. Study selection was performed independently by two reviewers. Four randomized controlled trials published between 2014 and 2019 were included comprising a total of 412 participants. Most participants were diagnosed with breast, prostate or colorectal cancer. The studies were characterized by large differences in design, interventions and outcomes, which prevented meta-analyses. The interventions ranged from 4 weeks to 12 months and involved both supervised and unsupervised exercise programs. Some evidence of beneficial effects from the interventions were documented on physical function, muscle strength, physical activity and cognitive function. No evidence of effects was found for health-related quality of life, aerobic capacity, body composition, cancer-related symptoms and side effects, or for any clinical outcomes. No adverse events were reported. Exercise therapy seems to be safe and feasible in older patients with cancer. However, due to a limited number of studies, small sample sizes and heterogeneity across study design, the effects of exercise in older patients with cancer receiving medical antineoplastic treatment are inconclusive.Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are designed to manipulate the toxic efficacy of specific chemotherapeutic compounds, employing the high affinity of antibody-mediated delivery so as to drive them selectively to target cancer cells. These immunoconjugates encompass the general tendency towards precision medicine and avert the systemic toxicities of conventional chemotherapy, accomplishing an improved therapeutic index. Cumulative experience acquired from first-generation ADCs offers new perspectives to these promising therapeutic modalities for various hematological and solid cancers and propels their clinical development in a faster-than-ever pace, as indicated by the approval of four novel ADCs during the last year. EGFR inhibitor This paper aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the eight ADCs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and their current indications in oncological practice. Starting from their bio-pharmaceutical background, we track their clinical evolution, with an emphasis on the pivotal trials that led to their commercial release. Late-stage studies examining these eight ADCs in other-than-approved settings as well as the investigation of potential new candidates are also reviewed. In the close future, more data are expected to expand ADCs' oncological utility and to further reshape their role in cancer therapeutics.The epidemiologic correlation of melanoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been the subject of several population studies. In the present article, through the presentation of five illustrative cases of patients with melanoma and CLL, several aspects of this complex relationship are highlighted, with a focus on the increased incidence of melanoma in patients with CLL, its speculated etiology, and the impact of CLL stage and disease duration on the incidence and prognosis of melanoma. Furthermore, the rare entity of the synchronous diagnosis of melanoma and CLL in biopsied lymph nodes is discussed, along with its implications on the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In addition, the available data on the treatment choices in patients with melanoma and CLL are presented and the efficacy and safety of fludarabine, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, new targeted therapies for CLL, and checkpoint inhibitors are further discussed. Finally, since no formal guidelines are available for the management of this group of patients, guidelines are proposed for skin-cancer screening in patients with CLL, for the correct interpretation of BRAF mutation analysis in lymph-node specimens with 'collision of tumors,' and for the optimal use of imaging studies in the diagnosis of metastatic disease in patients with CLL and melanoma, while a treatment approach for such patients is also suggested. The information and proposed guidelines provided in the present article comprise a useful guide for physicians managing such patients, focusing on diagnostic challenges and therapeutic dilemmas posed by the coexistence of the two disease entities.
To meet the present transportation demands and solve food versus fuel issue, microbial lipid-derived biofuels are gaining attention worldwide. This study is focussed on high-throughput screening of oleaginous yeast by microwave-aided Nile red spectrofluorimetry and exploring pongamia shell hydrolysate (PSH) as a feedstock for lipid production using novel oleaginous yeast
INDKK.

A new oleaginous yeast
INDKK was identified and selected for microbial lipid production.
INDKK produced maximum 12.8 ± 0.66g/L of dry cell weight and 6.78 ± 0.4g/L of lipid titre after 120h of growth, showed high tolerance to pre-treatment-derived inhibitors such as 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF), (2g/L), furfural (0.5g/L) and acetic acid (0.5g/L), and ability to assimilate C3, C5 and C6 sugars. Interestingly,
INDKK showed higher lipid accumulation when grown in alkali-treated saccharified PSH (AS-PSH) (0.058 ± 0.006g/L/h) as compared to acid-treated detoxified PSH (AD-PSH) (0.037 ± 0.006g/L/h) and YNB medium (0.055 ± 0.003g/L/h). The major fatty acid constituents are oleic, palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids with an estimated cetane number (CN) of about 56.7, indicating the good quality of fuel.

These results suggested that PSH and
INDKK could be considered as potential feedstock for sustainable biodiesel production.
