With the improvements in cancer prognosis thanks to advances in anti-cancer treatment protocols and new targeted therapies and immunotherapies, we are witnessing an increase in survival; however, at the same time, an increase in morbidity has also been observed among cancer survivors as a consequence of the increased cardiovascular adverse effects of anti-cancer drugs.

This is often the consequence of mechanisms that are still partially unknown, which prevent the development of preventative and curative therapies that target the specific cardio- and vasculotoxic effects of anti-cancer therapies. 

In this webinar, we will discuss the new frontiers of cardio-oncology research, the mechanisms and implications of hidden cytotoxicity, and the metabolic roots of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. These topics will be covered by world-class experts in the field. 

This webinar will be introduced by an opening greeting from Prof. Dr. Rosalinda Madonna, together with the co-chair, Prof. Dr. Luca Liberale. 

Date: 07 July 2025 at 4:00 p.m. CEST | 10:00 a.m. EDT | 10:00 p.m. CST Asia

International Nurses Day (IND) is an international day observed around the world on 12 May (the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth) each year, to mark the contributions that nurses make to society. The vital role of nurse’s work to raise the level of nursing in the region; to create evidence-based knowledge on nursing; and to influence national policies that will lead to the provision of high-quality, accessible, equitable, efficient and sensitive health services.

Building on the success of the 2024 IND theme, “The Economic Power of Care”, which demonstrated how strategic investment in nursing can bring significant economic and societal benefits, the 2025 theme shifts focus to the health and wellbeing of nurses. This theme underscores the critical role a healthy nursing workforce plays in strengthening economies, improving health systems, and ensuring better outcomes for communities worldwide.

In recognition of this important day, we recommend the following related articles, Special Issues, and journals spanning multidisciplinary fields, including clinical medicine. We believe that promoting such research contributes to enhanced public awareness of nursing.

Celebrated on 8 May, International Thalassaemia Day is dedicated to raising awareness among the general public and decision-makers about thalassaemia, supporting the lifelong and challenging journey of patients living with this severe blood disease, and honouring the memory of those we have lost, while renewing our commitment to finding a final cure.

Thalassaemia is more than just a disease. It transcends numbers and statistics, touching the lives of real people with real challenges and lived experiences. This year, we proudly embrace the theme, “Together for Thalassaemia: Uniting Communities, Prioritizing Patients”, and stand united under the powerful slogans “#WeAre1” and “PatientsFirst”.

In recognition of this important day, we recommend the following related articles, Special Issues, and journals spanning multidisciplinary fields, including clinical medicine. We believe that promoting such research contributes to enhanced public awareness and a greater understanding of thalassaemia.

World Asthma Day is held on the first Tuesday in May, aiming to improve asthma awareness and care around the world. World Asthma Day is organized by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), a World Health Organization collaborative organization founded in 1993. In celebration of World Asthma Day 2025, GINA has chosen the theme “Make Inhaled Treatments Accessible for All”. GINA emphasizes the need to ensure that people with asthma can access inhaled medications that are essential both for controlling the underlying disease and treating attacks.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases that affects over 260 million people and is responsible for over 450,000 deaths each year worldwide. Most of these deaths are preventable. Inhaled corticosteroid-containing medications prevent asthma attacks by treating the underlying inflammation that causes asthma. Doctors and allied health care professionals are called upon to ensure that every person with asthma is prescribed evidence-based, essential, inhaled corticosteroid-containing medication in addition to (or in combination with) reliever medication, to prevent the continuing but avoidable morbidity and mortality from asthma.

In celebration of this day, we invite you to explore a curation of insightful articles, journals, and Special Issues across various fields, including human diseases and conditions, human nutrition, children’s health, and personalized medicine. By sharing these findings, we hope to call on everyone to increase our efforts in managing asthma to reduce and prevent attacks.
