The aim of this study was to assess the level of creativity and personality traits and their mutual influence on medical students using the DECAS and BWAS. We performed a prospective descriptive study on 119 medical students from Târgu Mureș, Romania between November 2020 and July 2021, who answered questions relating to the BWAS and DECAS scales to evaluate their creativity and personality traits. Our findings pointed out a reverse correlation between age and both the original and revised BWAS (r = -0.2037, = 0.0263; r = -0.1931, = 0.0354). In terms of extraversion, we found a significant positive correlation for both openness (r = 0.3032, = 0.0008) and emotional stability (r = 0.2868, = 0.0016) and a negative correlation between extraversion and agreeability (r = -0.2394, = 0.0087). Regarding creativity, we found positive correlations between emotional stability and both the original and revised BWAS (r = 0.20, = 0.0279; r = 0.20, = 0.0245). Medical students' creativity might be positively influenced by emotional stability and seems to decrease with age. Higher extraversion scores could be related to increased openness and emotional stability as well as decreased agreeability.

Introduction: Psychotropic medication can be effective at stabilizing emotional and behavioural disturbances associated with physiological processes in children and youth. When medication benefits, indication or adverse effects are queried, deprescribing should be considered. Current guidelines for deprescribing are mainly for adults/elderly and largely theoretical, not practical, especially for polypharmacy.

Objective: To explore differences in the effects of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) and preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on quality of life and functional outcomes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
Methods: In the study, 591 patients with distal or middle-third, clinical primary tumor stage cT3-4 and/or regional lymph node-positive rectal cancer were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive short-term radiotherapy (25 Gy in five fractions) followed by 4 cycles of CAPOX (TNT group, n=297) or standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy (50 Gy in 25 fractions concurrently with oral capecitabine) (CRT group, n=294) before surgery. After a 6-year follow-up, the surviving patients were sent surveys, including the EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-CR29, and Wexner incontinence score questionnaires.
