Background: Palliative Care, Geriatrics and Emergency physicians are exposed to death, terminally ill patients and distress of patients and their families. As physicians bear witness to patients' suffering, they are vulnerable to the costs of caring-the emotional distress associated with providing compassionate and empathetic care to patients. If left unattended, this may culminate in burnout and compromise professional identity.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviewed 133 pediatric patients over 14 years to understand the prevalence and effects of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with symptoms appearing as early as age 10.
  • Factors such as BMI, family history, comorbidities, and hair loss patterns were examined, revealing differences in trichoscopic outcomes between sexes and age groups.
  • The research emphasizes the need for personalized treatment plans for AGA in children, suggesting the use of topical minoxidil while ensuring close monitoring and encouraging adherence to medication and follow-ups for better results.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder linked to chronic respiratory issues, infertility, and problems with body asymmetry, primarily caused by mutations in the CCDC39 and CCDC40 genes.
  • Researchers used advanced techniques to investigate how these genetic variants impact cellular functions beyond just causing cilia to stop moving.
  • They discovered that the absence of CCDC39/CCDC40 creates a significant loss of over 90 ciliary structural proteins, leading to cilia dysfunction and other cellular issues, suggesting that gene therapy could potentially offer a new treatment strategy for PCD.
