The Chemistry-Process-Structure Relationships of a Functionally Graded Ti-6Al-4V/Ti-1B Alloy Processed with Laser-Engineered Net Shaping Creates Borlite.

We quantify the chemistry-process-structure-property relationships of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy in which titanium-boron alloy (Ti-B) was added in a functionally graded assembly through a laser-engineered net shaping (LENS) process. The material gradient was made by pre-alloyed powder additions to form an in situ melt of the prescribed alloy concentration. The complex heterogeneous structures arising from the LENS thermal history are completely discussed for the first time, and we introduce a new term called "Borlite", a eutectic structure containing orthorhombic titanium monoboride (TiB) and titanium.

Yoga Therapy as an Intervention to Improve Patient-Reported Outcomes Among Adults After Treatment for Cancer: Preliminary Findings From a Trial Using Single-Subject Experimental Design.

Background: Cancer is a chronic condition associated with a substantial symptom burden, which can impair recovery after treatment. Investigating interventions with potential to improve self-reported disease and/or treatment effects-known as patient-reported outcomes (PROs)-is paramount to inform cancer care. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a yoga therapy (YT) intervention on key PROs (ie, cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, cognitive function, depression, stress, quality of life [QoL]) among adults after treatment for cancer.

Mistletoe Extracts during the Oncological Perioperative Period: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Human Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: We aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mistletoe extract (ME) use during the oncological perioperative period.

Methods: Details registered a priori on PROSPERO (CRD42018086168).

Results: Seven RCTs (comprising 663 participants in nine reports) and three nonrandomized studies were included.

Dietary supplements to reduce symptom severity and duration in people with SARS-CoV-2: a double-blind randomised controlled trial.

Background: COVID-19 has caused morbidity, hospitalisation and mortality worldwide. Despite effective vaccines, there is still a need for effective treatments, especially for people in the community. Dietary supplements have long been used to treat respiratory infections, and preliminary evidence indicates some may be effective in people with COVID-19.

Integrative Oncology Care of Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression in Adults With Cancer: Society for Integrative Oncology-ASCO Guideline.

Purpose: To provide evidence-based recommendations to health care providers on integrative approaches to managing anxiety and depression symptoms in adults living with cancer.

Methods: The Society for Integrative Oncology and ASCO convened an expert panel of integrative oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, palliative oncology, social sciences, mind-body medicine, nursing, methodology, and patient advocacy representatives. The literature search included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials published from 1990 through 2023.
