Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a subpopulation of cancer cells that are believed to initiate and drive cancer progression. In animal models, xenotransplanted CSCs have demonstrated the ability to produce tumors. Since their initial isolation in blood cancers, CSCs have been identified in various solid human cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

- Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a significant health issue in the Asia-Pacific region, and while guidelines exist for its management, there's a gap in their effective implementation which may be addressed through patient-centred care.
- A survey of 11 healthcare experts revealed key barriers such as low patient awareness, poor treatment adherence, financial and time limitations, alongside proposed solutions like enhancing patient education and employing shared decision-making in treatment choices.
- Focusing on patient-centred strategies could lead to improved AR management, emphasizing the importance of individualized care that aligns with each patient's preferences and health goals.

Communication is an integral component of effective healthcare delivery to patients, and this includes breaking bad news (BBN). However, clinicians in dentistry are rarely exposed to diseases that can negatively and seriously affect an individual's view of their future and pose a mortality risk, except for oral cancer. The aim of this study was to assess clinician practices in BBN of oral cancer diagnosis in Malaysia.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the 3rd edition of the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Electronic searches for articles were carried out in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.
Objective: To identify potential salivary biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression in oral squamous cell carcinoma and oral leukoplakia.
Materials And Methods: An advance search from PubMed and Hindawi was performed with keywords; oral leukoplakia/oral squamous cell carcinoma, salivary biomarker and diagnosis/prognosis. An additional search of articles was done through a manual search from the Google Scholar database.
