Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer for men and is viewed as the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. The body mass index (BMI) is taken as a vital criterion to elucidate the association between obesity and PCa. In this study, systematic methods are employed to investigate how obesity influences the noncutaneous malignancies of PCa.

- The study explored the electronic structure and lattice dynamics of BaCuTeO single crystals using spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman scattering techniques.
- It was found that BaCuTeO has a direct optical band gap of about 1.04 eV and exhibits multiple optical absorption bands associated with various electronic transitions.
- The Raman scattering results revealed 16 phonon modes at room temperature, with additional modes appearing at lower temperatures, indicating structural phase transitions and strong interactions between magnetic and lattice properties.
Aims: To use cognitive modelling to investigate psychological processes underlying decision-making in male abstinent heroin misusers (AHMs).
Design: A case-control study design.
Setting: A drug misuse treatment centre in Taiwan.
Aim: This study tested the efficacy of a multimedia interactive DVD as an education tool for patients with end-stage renal disease in terms of enhancing patient knowledge and decision-making skills and decreasing uncertainty.
Background: End-stage renal case numbers in Taiwan are growing by approximately 6000 new patients per year. Helping patients choose an optimal treatment method to maximise quality of life is an important healthcare issue for this patient population.
