The development of health science, with the discovery of a type of treatment to reduce mortality due to cancer, namely using chemotherapy agents such as anthracycline and trastuzumab. From the number of studies that have been done, the types of drugs such as anthracycline and trastuzumab have a cardiotoxic effect which is often associated with decreased heart-lung function and the incidence of cardiomyopathy. Exercise is reported to have a pleiotropic effect. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize evidence from the application of pleiotropic exercise in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with cardiotoxic agents. The search was performed according to the recommended reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA). Obtained an accumulation of 2397 articles from PubMed and Google Scholar (2016-2020), which were assisted by the PICO search engine. The article was reviewed by the author within sorting using inclusion and exclusion criteria and obtained 28 articles accordingly. Aerobic exercise has pleiotropic effects by stimulating antioxidants and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, reducing pro-apoptosis molecular signaling, stimulating myofilament, facilitating concentric cardia hypertrophy remodeling, and changing cardiac metabolism via adenosine monophosphate (amp) with kinase-mediated. Pretreatment aerobic exercise with minimal supervised 30-min exercise sessions 3 times/week for ≥12 weeks effectively reduce the risk of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CRC). Aerobic exercise has a significant pleiotropic effect in patients undergoing chemotherapy with cardiotoxic agents.

Background:Perfectionism is implicated in a range of psychiatric disorders, impedes treatment and is associated with poorer treatment outcomes.Aims:The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize the existing evidence for psychological interventions targeting perfectionism in individuals with psychiatric disorders associated with perfectionism and/or elevated perfectionism.Method: Eight studies were identified and were analysed in meta-analyses. Meta-analyses were carried out for the Personal Standards and Concern over Mistakes subscales of the Frost Multi-Dimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) and the Self Orientated Perfectionism and Socially Prescribed Perfectionism subscales of the Hewitt and Flett MPS (HMPS) in order to investigate change between pre and postintervention.Results:Large pooled effect sizes were found for the Personal Standards and Concern over Mistakes subscales of the FMPS and the Self Orientated Perfectionism subscale of the HMPS, whilst a medium sized effect was found for change in Socially Prescribed Perfectionism. Medium pooled effect sizes were also found for symptoms of anxiety and depression.Conclusions:There is some support that it is possible to significantly reduce perfectionism in individuals with clinical disorders associated with perfectionism and/or clinical levels of perfectionism. There is also some evidence that such interventions are associated with decreases in anxiety, depression, eating disorder and obsessive compulsive symptoms. Further research is needed in order to investigate the optimal dosage and format of such interventions as well as into specific disorders where there is a lack of evidence for their effectiveness.
