The journey towards becoming a physician has always been a test of diligence and patience in perfecting the science and art of treating patients. This learning continues well-beyond medical school, requiring a life-long pursuit for acquiring and refining medical knowledge with advances in science and technology. After completing medical school and residency, however, many clinicians report feelings of dissatisfaction and disillusionment with their career path citing lack of autonomy, increased government regulations, and long hours. Although a complex challenge, encouraging creativity and enjoyment during medical education can provide future physicians new skills to advance their medical knowledge while maintaining their personal satisfaction and enjoyment. In this article, we examine examples of how empowering medical education to be enjoyable provides the foundation for producing healthier and more engaged clinicians in the workforce and beyond.

Spatio-Temporal Change of Skin and Oral Microbiota: A Longitudinal Study of Microbial Diversity and Stability.

Institute of Forensic Science, Fudan University, Shanghai, P. R. China.
The human skin and oral cavity harbor complex microbial communities, which exist in dynamic equilibrium with the host's physiological state and the external environment. This study investigates the microbial atlas of human skin and oral cavities using samples collected over a 10-month period, aiming to assess how both internal and external factors influence the human microbiome. We examined bacterial community diversity and stability across various body sites, including palm and nasal skin, saliva, and oral epithelial cells, during environmental changes and a COVID-19 pandemic.

This meta-analysis aims to compile all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that examined the effects of grapes or grape products on adult anthropometric measures and serum adipokines. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Google scholar, Web of Science and CENTRAL databases published before January 2022. Random-effects model was used to combine mean differences between intervention and placebo groups.

The association between heterozygous C4 deficiency and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is unclear. There is a lack of data in South Asian Indians on any possible association of C4A and C4B null alleles with lupus. We aimed to study the prevalence of C4A and C4B null alleles in a cohort of SLE patients with persistently low C4 levels compared to healthy controls (HC).

As the smallest antibody fragment with specific binding affinity, nanobody-based nuclear medicine has demonstrated significant potential to revolutionize the field of precision medicine, supported by burgeoning preclinical investigations and accumulating clinical evidence. However, the visualization of nanobodies has also exposed their suboptimal biodistribution patterns, which has spurred collaborative efforts to refine their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles for improved therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we present clinical results that exemplify the benefits of nanobody-based molecular imaging in cancer diagnosis.
