Because patients are appropriate judges of the personal aspects of the care received from physicians, the authors conducted lengthy interviews with 50 randomly chosen medical inpatients. They were asked to describe, in an open-ended but semistructured fashion, their favorable and unfavorable impressions and reactions to the personal aspects of care rendered by their physicians. From the specific comments made by the patients in these interviews, we constructed a detailed taxonomy of desired physician attitudes and behaviors. The taxonomy can be used in a manner analogous to a Review of Systems for teaching students and practitioners the elements of personal care and also can be applied for research in patient-physician communication.

A quasi-experimental study of trigger films for teaching the doctor-patient relationship.
Indian J Med Ethics

Director Professor, Department of Physiology, University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi University, Delhi, INDIA.
Background: It is challenging to teach the complexity of the doctor-patient relationship through attitude, ethics, and communication (AETCOM) modules, particularly without being formally trained and especially to first-year medical students who do not interact directly with patients. The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of trigger films (TFs) or short movie clips as a teaching-learning tool to train undergraduate medical students on various aspects of doctor-patient relationships.
Methods: Two modules on various aspects of the doctor-patient relationship were developed using TFs and written case studies and implemented on Phase Ⅰ medical students.

Gastric cancer is characterized by a high incidence and mortality rate, with therapeutic efficacy currently constrained by substantial limitations. Aerobic glycolysis in cancer constitutes a pivotal aspect of the reprogramming of energy metabolism in tumor cells and profoundly influences the malignant progression of cancer. CircRNAs, serving as stable endogenous RNA, have been shown to regulate downstream targets by sponging miRNAs, which in turn are involved in the regulation of multiple malignant behaviors in a variety of cancers through the CircRNA-miRNA axis, suggesting that CircRNAs could be used as potential therapeutic targets for cancer.
