Summary: GDF15 mediates nausea, emesis, and anorexia during chemotherapy. Peptide-based antagonist GRASP can bind to GFRAL and attenuate GDF15-induced symptoms in rats. Combined with Ondansetron, GRASP shows even greater efficacy in alleviating anorectic effects.

Summary: The study showed that both systemic and hindbrain administration of OLZ can alleviate cisplatin-induced pica and body weight loss, but not anorexia. Systemic OLZ decreased c-Fos immunofluorescence in the DVC induced by cisplatin and prevented reductions in circulating ghrelin levels. The data suggest that central serotonergic signaling, specifically via 5-HT2C, and changes in circulating ghrelin may be potential mediators of olanzapine's anti-emetic action.

Summary: This pilot cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of orthorexia nervosa tendencies and pica practices, as well as record diet practices in pregnant women. The majority of women reported improving their diet during pregnancy, while only a small number had pica tendencies. The use of oral nutrient supplements and the experience of severe nausea and emesis were common among participants.

Summary: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a common side effect of cancer treatment that can significantly impact patient's quality of life and treatment efficacy. Effective antiemetic prophylaxis based on the emetogenicity of antineoplastic drugs and patient characteristics is crucial to prevent CINV. Evidence-based recommendations are needed to improve the application of highly effective antiemetic treatments and guide decision-making.

Summary: This retrospective study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of olanzapine for the treatment of nausea and emesis in palliative care patients. It reduced the need for antiemetic medications, improved appetite, and had a cost-saving effect. QTc prolongation and liver function abnormalities were observed in a small percentage of patients.

Summary: The study suggests that CINV-specific nutrition education and support from health professionals can improve CINV. Non-restrictive dietary patterns, particularly those including adequate energy and macronutrient intakes, ginger, and Mediterranean diet concepts, may benefit CINV.

Summary: Illicit fentanyl use has dramatically increased in the United States, leading to a critical need for effective treatments. Research indicates that GLP-1R agonists can mitigate fentanyl-mediated behaviors, and dual agonists of GLP-1Rs and Y2Rs offer a potential new therapeutic approach for opioid use disorders.

Summary: This pilot study investigated the impact of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) on glioma patients' levels of depression and quality of life. It was found that higher levels of depression were associated with more severe effects of CINV and lower quality of life. Further research is needed to address the delayed nausea and the use of long acting antiemetics for temozolomide-induced nausea.

Summary: This study examined the impact of CINV on QoL in breast cancer patients treated with AC, finding that CINV significantly affected patients' QoL, with a correlation between QoL in earlier cycles and subsequent cycles. New antiemetic regimens showed improvement in QoL outcomes.

Summary: The study introduced a mouse model of pellagra-related nausea induced by low-niacin diet and isoniazid. The findings suggest that niacin supplementation can prevent nausea symptoms in this model, indicating a potential treatment approach for pellagra.

Summary: The study suggests that prophylactic administration of antiemetics at the initiation of opioid analgesics may help reduce gastrointestinal toxicity, as shown by a lower likelihood of requiring additional antiemetic medication in patients who received prophylaxis.

Summary: Pica is the consumption of nonfood substances and often used as a marker for nausea in laboratory rats. Previous studies have used kaolin clay pellets, but this study explored alternative substances. The results showed that gypsum could be used as an indicator of nausea, but its sensitivity was not as good as kaolin. Lime was not a suitable marker. In conclusion, the superiority of kaolin as a test substance for nausea was not overturned, but the main component of kaolin, aluminosilicate, may not be the critical determinant of emetic-caused pica in rats.

Summary: This study found that chronic stress pretreatment exacerbates anorexia and vomiting progress, possibly by altering the expression levels of neurotransmitters and receptors involved in the mediation of emesis and nausea in the central nervous system.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential for selective cervical VNS as a therapeutic approach for modulating distal nerve branches while reducing off target effects, which could potentially be refined to treat gastrointestinal, metabolic, inflammatory, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases amenable to vagal neuromodulatory control.

Summary: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) holds promise for affecting gastrointestinal function and treating diseases, but off-target effects can lead to major side effects. This study successfully demonstrated selective activation of vagal neurons using abdominal VNS in ferrets, and showed potential for controlling gastrointestinal function through this method.

Summary: Nausea is difficult to distinguish in preclinical models, but based on human experience, emesis is usually preceded by nausea. The study focused on measuring gastrointestinal and cardiorespiratory changes prior to emesis to provide insights into markers for nausea. CuSO4 infusion elicited physiological changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, and intestinal electromyographic (EMG) activity, suggesting that monitoring of intestinal EMG activity, perhaps in combination with heart rate, may provide the best indicator of the onset of nausea.

Summary: The study tested bioelectronic medical approaches to control vagus nerve-to-organ signaling, with findings that abdominal VNS could provide specific therapeutic control of the GI tract. However, further research is needed on electrode placement as well as device configurations and design.
