Objective: This systematic review assessed the socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing interpersonal communication between family physicians and patients with chronic diseases.
Methods: We searched three databases (Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane) for published empirical studies reporting interpersonal communication between adults with chronic conditions and their family physicians. Gender, sex, race or ethnicity, low levels of literacy and/or health knowledge, and lower level of education or income were the factors of interest.
Unhurried conversations are necessary for careful and kind care that is responsive and responsible to both patients and clinicians. Adequate conceptual development is an important first step in being able to assess and measure this important domain of quality of care. In this article, we expand on a preliminary model to identify the key microlevel communication practices that support an unhurried conversation, defined as an ongoing, mutual accomplishment between patient and clinician that proceeds through a range of verbal and nonverbal communication practices wherein one or more participants (mutually) regulate the sequence, spacing (temporal and spatial), and speed of interaction to make themselves available to the other and remove or suspend distractions from the environment in order to improve care.

- - The study investigates the relationship between CD44 and CD63 protein expressions and various clinicopathological features in breast cancer, including tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, specific genetic mutations, and patient survival rates.
- - Findings from 101 breast cancer samples reveal that high CD44 expression is linked to younger age, a triple-negative cancer type, and shorter survival, while high CD63 density correlates with estrogen receptor positivity and lower tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte levels.
- - The results suggest that CD44 is associated with more aggressive cancer characteristics, while lower CD63 density is observed in tumors with aggressive traits.
Introduction: Innovative teaching methods have become increasingly important in higher education. Through these methods, gamification in general and educational escape rooms in particular are becoming more important.
Aim: The dual aim of this study was first, to describe an on-site educational escape room, assessing students' motivation and satisfaction, and second, to compare the declarative knowledge obtained and anxiety levels by applying two teaching-learning strategies.
