Climate change is a public health emergency, yet planetary health education is absent for many medical and health professions trainees. To perform a scoping review exploring the inclusion of planetary health in undergraduate and graduate medical education. A search strategy was developed with a health sciences librarian and run on 6 databases from their inception to February 2022: MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, Global Health, and Scopus.

- Oral cancer is the 16th most common cancer globally, with high prevalence in Southeast Asia due to tobacco use, prompting a study of chemokines involved in the disease.
- The research focused on immunohistochemical expression of CCL28 and its receptor CCR10 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), examining 50 OSCC tissue samples and 50 normal oral mucosa samples for comparison.
- Findings revealed a strong correlation between CCL28 and CCR10 expression in OSCC, highlighting their potential as prognostic biomarkers for understanding tumor progression in the disease.

Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath neoplasms that grow slowly and arise from Schwann cells. Here we report a case of an intraosseous schwannoma, with recent updates of molecular characterization and immunohistochemical data, affecting the left mandibular ramus featuring multilocular well-defined radiolucency making it difficult to diagnose.

- Visual impairment caused by bacterial keratitis is increasingly concerning due to bacterial resistance to medications, necessitating new treatment strategies.
- A study developed calcium oxide nanoparticles (CaO NPs) using Eleusine coracana seed extract, which are eco-friendly and show low toxicity.
- Characterization revealed that these CaO NPs exhibit strong anti-inflammatory properties and effectively inhibit drug-resistant bacteria linked to corneal ulcers, presenting a potential therapeutic approach for vision-related bacterial infections.
