This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to assess the feasibility of a study that integrated spiritual healing with standard care versus standard care alone for adults with moderate depression.

Method: In this pilot RCT with two parallel groups, 28 adult patients with depression were randomized to receive either spiritual healing alongside usual care (n = 14) or usual care alone (n = 14).

Surgical Oncology, Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya Cancer Centre, Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital, Tata Memorial Centre, Varanasi, IND.

Thrombocytopenia is a common complication in patients with solid tumors, particularly renal cell carcinoma (RCC), arising from mechanisms such as chemotherapy, direct tumor invasion, and paraneoplastic syndromes. Managing thrombocytopenia in advanced cancer presents significant challenges, often limiting therapeutic options and impacting patient outcomes. This case report describes a 62-year-old man with metastatic RCC complicated by persistent thrombocytopenia, unresponsive to both conventional treatments and novel therapies.

The transcultural approach is indicated for complex cases where the cultural dimension is useful in fully understanding a problem. The cultural coding of certain symptoms, such as trance or possession, can be difficult to achieve in conventional individual therapy.

Remodeling the Epigenome Through Meditation: Effects on Brain, Body, and Well-being.

Subcell Biochem

January 2025

Department of Biology and Biotechnologies C. Darwin, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.

Epigenetic mechanisms are key processes that constantly reshape genome activity carrying out physiological responses to environmental stimuli. Such mechanisms regulate gene activity without modifying the DNA sequence, providing real-time adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Both favorable and unfavorable lifestyles have been shown to influence body and brain by means of epigenetics, leaving marks on the genome that can either be rapidly reversed or persist in time and even be transmitted trans-generationally.
