Background: Estimates suggest that one in two people will experience cancer in their lifetime. Cancer and the treatment of cancer can have several impacts on oral health. It is therefore important that dental teams are supported in managing this group of patients especially in primary care dental settings, where most of these patients will first present to dental services.

- The study evaluated the reliability and accuracy of noninvasive hemoglobin (nHgb) monitoring compared to invasive serum hemoglobin (iHgb) tests in patients undergoing outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
- The results showed that while both nHgb and iHgb values were similar post-surgery, the nHgb method had a significant advantage in terms of patient comfort and satisfaction, with 97% preferring it over the invasive method.
- Additionally, the nHgb test effectively predicted low hemoglobin levels, suggesting it could be a viable alternative for monitoring in outpatient settings.
Background: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are clinically diverse types of tumors that can arise anywhere in the body. Previous studies have shown that somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are overexpressed on NET cell membranes relative to healthy tissue, allowing for tumor targeting through radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSAs). This work aims to develop a novel Zr-labeled tracer incorporating the SSA, octreotide (TOC), for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of SSTR + NETs and predictive dosimetry calculations, leveraging the excellent nuclear (t = 3.

African American(AA) women are 28% more likely to die from triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) than white women with the same diagnosis. AA patients are also more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage of the disease and have the lowest survival rates for any stage of diagnosis; There are very few existing anti TNBC drugs with therapeutic efficacy hence newer anti TNBC drug design and investigation is needed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: "Decision Fatigue" (DF) describes the impaired ability to make decisions because of repeated acts of decision-making.
Objectives: We conducted a scoping review to describe DF in inpatient settings.
Methods: To be included, studies should have explored a clinical decision, included a mechanism to account for the order of decision making, and be published in English in or after the year 2000.
