Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of cartoon animated video, caregiver-supervised training, and pamphlet-based oral health education on plaque control, oral hygiene status, and oral health knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among orphaned adolescents with plaque-induced gingivitis.
Methods: A total of ninety adolescents were randomly selected and allocated into three different groups. Group A received the pamphlet (n = 30), Group B received the cartoon animated video (n = 30), and Group C received the caregiver-supervised training (n = 30).
Article Synopsis
- Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) often need palliative care to improve their quality of life, but there are disparities based on sociodemographic factors that affect who receives this care.
- A study analyzing data from 2016 to 2020 found that only 18% of mCRC patients received palliative treatment, with older patients and those with certain types of metastases less likely to access it.
- The research highlights that patients with multiple metastatic sites are more likely to receive palliative treatment compared to those with limited sites, and there is a significant influence of age and education level on treatment utilization.

Background And Objective: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a significant global health concern due to its aggressive nature and poor prognosis. Recent research has highlighted the important role of RNA modifications in cancer biology, especially N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications, which are controlled by a complex interplay of m6A regulators. This study specifically investigates RBFOX2, a new m6A reader, and its involvement in OSCC.
