Article Synopsis
- Difficult-to-treat asthma is hard to control even with strong medicine and is linked to breathing pattern issues (BPD) in many patients.
- The review looks at how BPD affects people with this type of asthma and suggests teamwork among doctors and specialists to provide the best care.
- More research is needed to improve how we diagnose and treat both difficult-to-treat asthma and related breathing problems so that patients can feel better overall.
Developing sensitive practical sensors for monitoring pesticide residues in edible foods and environmental samples is vital for food safety and environmental protection. Enzyme-inhibited biosensors offer effective alternative sensing strategies by using the inherent characteristics of pesticides. To further improve the degradation function of pesticide sensors, here, a target-triggered porphyrin metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanosystem was designed with the synergetic bifunction of sensitive detection and controllable degradation of the triazophos pesticide.

- - The study investigates how self-compassion affects fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in breast cancer patients and whether harmful thinking patterns (like catastrophising) mediate this effect.
- - In a survey of 304 females with breast cancer, it was found that half experience high levels of FCR, and self-compassion is linked to lower levels of it, primarily through the mediation of catastrophising thoughts.
- - The conclusions highlight that boosting self-compassion and addressing negative thinking styles, especially catastrophising, could help lower FCR in breast cancer patients.
Background: In China, there are a growing number of young women being diagnosed with breast cancer. Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FCR) has become one of the major psychological concerns reported by young breast cancer patients. Yet, there is a lack of psychological intervention tailored for reducing FCR for Chinese young breast cancer patients.

Objectives: The protective role of self-compassion in cancer patients' psychological outcomes has been confirmed. However, using a composite score of self-compassion, previous research could not clarify how distinct components of self-compassion may mutually interact. This study, using a person-centred approach, aimed to identify profiles of self-compassion in cancer patients and examined the associations of self-compassion profiles with sociodemographic and medical variables and psychological outcomes.

This study aimed to (1) identify distinct mindfulness profiles in cancer patients, (2) examine socio-demographic predictors of patients with distinct profiles, and (3) examine associations of mindfulness profiles with psychological outcomes and coping strategies.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 245 people with heterogeneous types of cancer.
