The Impact of M-Health on the Self-Management of Diabetes: A Preliminary Study.

Apart from drug control, diabetes management should pay more attention to how lifestyle and daily routine affect blood sugar. This study aimed to explore the impact of m-health programme using a minimal psychological intervention on diabetes patients' knowledge, behavioural, and psychological health. A pretest-posttest single-group pre-experimental study was undertaken with 30 individuals to recruit patients with diabetes.

Naringenin inhibits migration of lung cancer cells via the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and -9.

Lung cancer is among the most common causes of cancer-related mortality. It has a high mortality rate and resistance to chemotherapy due to its high metastatic potential. Naringenin, a bioactive compound identified in several fruits, displays anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects.

A review of nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and ability to communicate the risks and benefits of complementary and alternative medicine.

Aims And Objectives: This study reviewed existing literature to investigate how frequently nurses include complementary and alternative forms of medicine in their clinical practice. In so doing, we investigated nurses' knowledge of and attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine as well as their ability to communicate the risks and benefits of these therapies with patients.

Background: Little information is available concerning nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine or how they incorporate these therapies into their practice.

Exploring the decision to disclose the use of natural products among outpatients: a mixed-method study.

Background: There is little understanding of the reasons for the limited communication between patients and conventional healthcare professionals regarding patients' use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The purpose of this study is to explore the predictors of outpatients' decision to disclose their use of natural products to conventional healthcare professionals.

Methods: A mixed method design was used.

Association of estrogen receptor α gene PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms with non-small cell lung cancer.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the estrogen receptor (ER)-α have been found to be associated with various diseases at significantly different frequencies. However, whether any relationship exists between ER-α polymorphisms and lung cancer remains to be determined. In this study, 84 non-smoking, female, non-small cell lung cancer patients with various stages of disease and 234 cancer-free reference controls were enrolled to examine the association of ER-α polymorphisms in lung cancer.
