Purpose: Radiation therapy for breast cancer often causes side effects like cancer-related fatigue, depression, and sleep disorders, impacting health-related quality of life, psychosocial aspects, and physical function. Exercise therapy is commonly used to manage cancer-related fatigue, but its effectiveness remains uncertain due to varying patient conditions and adherence. This systematic review aims to assess exercise interventions during radiotherapy for their effects on physiological and psychological side effects in breast cancer patients, clarifying efficacy and exploring different intervention types.

Background: Overweight and obesity are the most common high-risk conditions that increase the risk of adverse outcomes during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Dysfunctions in trophoblastic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) contribute to a variety of related pregnancy disorders.

Objectives: This study investigated whether PPARγ influences chorionic trophoblast cell damage induced by high glucose (HG) and high lipid (HL) by regulating insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

Androgen deprivation therapy has been the primary treatment strategy for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). But most patients develop castration resistance over time. For FDA-approved second-generation androgen receptor (AR) antagonists, including enzalutamide (ENZ) and abiraterone (AA), patients who initially respond to them eventually develop resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Simulation with Problem-Based Learning (SPBL) versus traditional Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on nursing students' moral sensitivity, empathy, critical thinking, test scores, and satisfaction with teaching.
  • Using a quasi-experimental design, 161 undergraduate nursing students were divided into two groups: one taught using SPBL and the other using PBL, with assessments made through pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires.
  • Results indicated that while the PBL group showed improvements in empathy and critical thinking, the SPBL group demonstrated significant enhancements in all assessed areas, including moral sensitivity, suggesting SPBL is more effective for nursing ethics education.

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) are the second most common cancers in women aged 20-39. While HPV screening can help with early detection of cervical cancer, many patients are already in the medium to late stages when they are identified. As a result, searching for novel biomarkers to predict CESC prognosis and propose molecular treatment targets is critical.

Background: Aphasia is one of the most devastating cognitive disorders caused by brain injury and seriously hinders patients' rehabilitation and quality of life. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation involves the repeated application of extracranial pulsed magnetic fields to the local central nervous system to alter the membrane potential of cortical nerve cells, generating induced currents that affect brain metabolism and electrical activity. As one of the most popular noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, it has been used to treat aphasia.
