Exploring the Non-Invasive Approaches to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Routine Clinical Practice: A Focus on the Role of Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors.

The prevalence of compression neuropathies remains high in clinical practice. The objective was to evaluate modalities of conservative treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) focusing on the role of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. This observational study involved 51 adult outpatients diagnosed with CTS.

Patient-specific virtual simulation in the clinical training for prosthetic dentistry.

Introduction: Dental education always involves live patient treatment, and clinical training for each patient is different for students. Using an intraoral scanner and Simodont Dental Trainer, we can provide students with an opportunity to train on actual patient cases in a virtual environment before real preparation. This study aimed to develop, implement and test patient-specific virtual simulation training in prosthetic dentistry curriculum.

Intratumor heterogeneity and cell secretome promote chemotherapy resistance and progression of colorectal cancer.

The major underlying cause for the high mortality rate in colorectal cancer (CRC) relies on its drug resistance, to which intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) contributes substantially. CRC tumors have been reported to comprise heterogeneous populations of cancer cells that can be grouped into 4 consensus molecular subtypes (CMS). However, the impact of inter-cellular interaction between these cellular states on the emergence of drug resistance and CRC progression remains elusive.

Technological Advances in Tumor-On-Chip Technology: From Bench to Bedside.

Tumor-on-chip technology has cemented its importance as an in vitro tumor model for cancer research. Its ability to recapitulate different elements of the in vivo tumor microenvironment makes it promising for translational medicine, with potential application in enabling personalized anti-cancer therapies. Here, we provide an overview of the current technological advances for tumor-on-chip generation.

Caries and its risk factors in young children in five different countries.

The state of oral health plays an essential role in human comprehensive health. Nevertheless, although considerable improvement in oral health caries has been noted in both developed and newly developing countries, caries is still widespread among children. Although it can be monitored, caries cannot be properly eliminated.
