Reducing anxiety and enhancing satisfaction in thyroid patients with DietLens application during radioactive iodine therapy: A quasi-experimental study.

Hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer significantly impact health, and often require Radioactive Iodine (RAI) therapy. Anxiety is common in patients undergoing RAI, particularly related to dietary compliance. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the mobile health application, DietLens in reducing anxiety and increasing satisfaction in patients preparing for RAI therapy, focusing on low-iodine diet (LID).

Comparing Methods to Genetically Engineer Bacteriophage and Increase Host Range.

Introduction: Antibacterial resistance is an emerging problem in military medicine. Disruptions to the health care systems in war-torn countries that result from ongoing conflict can potentially exacerbate this problem and increase the risk to U.S.

Outcomes and prognostic predictors of Lu-177 PSMA radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (Asian Population Study).

Aim: Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) prostate-specific membrane antigen radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT) is a promising therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), but there is limited data of its efficacy and safety in Asian population. We aim to explore the clinical outcomes of Lu-177 PSMA-RLT in this population.

Methods: We evaluated 84 patients with progressive mCRPC receiving Lu-177 PSMA-RLT between 9 May 2018 and 21 February 2022.
