In China, doctors play a crucial role in mental health treatment. However, many medical students and residents feel they're not getting the psychotherapy training they need. This is where a new training program comes in. Designed by experts, this program is set to teach future doctors the skills the
Physiotherapists play a crucial role in managing knee osteoarthritis. But why don't they always follow the latest evidence-based treatments? A recent study dug into this question. Instead of diving straight into treatment methods, researchers first looked at what influences physiotherapists' decisi
Imagine you're in the dentist's chair getting root canal therapy. Suddenly, your dentist encounters a problem: an instrument breaks off inside your tooth. Yikes!

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are crucial for fighting cancer, but many people with liver cancer (HCC) who have lots of these cells still face early relapse or resistance to treatments. Scientists don't fully understand why this happens. They studied 20 patients with liver cancer and CTLs to figure
Scientists are finding an unexpected hero in the fight against cancer and inflammation: plants. They've discovered tiny bubbles made by plants, called PDNVs, that can safely carry important genetic messages to the right cells. These messages can help cells fix broken genes or fight diseases, making
You might be wondering how breast cancer treatment is evolving. One big change is how doctors handle the lymph nodes under the arms. In the past, removing a bunch of these nodes after chemo was standard. But now, research shows that this might not always be necessary. Imagine this: a patient gets c
Cancer treatment is getting smarter by using several methods at once. One exciting tool is graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs). These tiny powerhouses can do three amazing things: deliver drugs, fix faulty genes, and cook cancer cells with heat. That's multitasking at its best! Graphene, graphene o
These days, people aren't moving as much as they should. This inactivity is a big problem, and it's something that physiotherapists-in-training need to address. Physical activity is crucial for keeping our bodies healthy and strong. So, it makes sense that those who help others stay active should be
Early-stage breast cancer patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) tumors face a big challenge: disease recurrence. This kind of cancer is diverse and tricky to manage because a quarter of these patients will see their disease come b
Immunotherapy has been making waves in the treatment of esophageal cancer, especially when used after initial chemoradiation.
