AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Attitude changing involves a holistic change on individual biopsychosocial structure. That attitude is understood by behaviors, thoughts, feelings and higher mental processes involved with behavior. This attitude will be considered in two ways: favorable or unfavorable, through a part of the environment. If unfavorable, the most common way to change it is through teaching and learning processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a program directed to modify cancer patients' attitudes.
Methods: This study was performed in three stages from February to September 2009 in the Medical Oncology Area of the UMAE Oncology Hospital, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS), according to a before and after quasi-experimental design to evaluate the effect of the intervention. The first stage was to diagnose through semantic networks using the results to create and validate a survey. The second stage was the educative intervention focused on providing general information to patients in the area of medical oncology. Finally, the initial survey was used in order to measure the impact of the intervention, which had been previously implemented and validated. The cumulative total of patients during the three stages was 4,200.
Results: Patients attitudes were modified with a specific favorable tendency on the instrument from 51% to 94% (p = 0.05) of total instrument perceptions.
Conclusions: This intervention significantly changed patients' attitudes related to the medical oncology area.

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is used to restore bone marrow function after high-dose chemotherapy. For apheresis, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is standard of care, but obtaining sufficient stem cells can be challenging. Other mobilization agents include plerixafor and PEGylated G-CSF (PEG-G-CSF).

Hematopoietic development is tightly regulated by various factors. The role of RNA m6A modification during fetal hematopoiesis, particularly in megakaryopoiesis, remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that loss of m6A methyltransferase METTL3 induces formation of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and activates acute inflammation during fetal hematopoiesis.

Background: The association between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue (body composition) and early response using positron emission tomography (PET) in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) remains unstudied.
Methods: Patients enrolled on Children's Oncology Group studies AHOD0031 (intermediate-risk HL) and AHOD0831 (high-risk HL) with digital abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans at diagnosis and PET scans after 2 cycles (PET2) were included. Two consecutive slices at the third lumbar vertebra were identified and skeletal muscle index (SMI, in cm2/m2) and total adipose tissue index (TATI, in cm2/m2) were calculated using sliceOmatic (Magog, Canada) and height at diagnosis.
Association between the gene polymorphism-determined earwax properties and external auditory canal microbiota in healthy adults.

Unlabelled: The concept of genome-microbiome interactions, in which the microenvironment determined by host genetic polymorphisms regulates the local microbiota, is important in the pathogenesis of human disease. In otolaryngology, the resident bacterial microbiota is reportedly altered in non-infectious ear diseases, such as otitis media pearls and exudative otitis media. We hypothesized that a single-nucleotide polymorphism in the ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 11 () gene, which determines earwax properties, regulates the ear canal microbiota.

Objective: Breast cancer patients often face a significant financial burden, leading to financial toxicity due to the necessity for long-term care, costly treatment, and follow-up measures. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the available qualitative evidence on how breast cancer patients cope with financial toxicity and their unmet need to promote the implementation of effective intervention strategies.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, CNKI, Wan Fang Data, and VIP databases were systematically searched for literature related to the study topic.
