Screening aims to detect cancer in asymptomatic populations. In oral cancer, clinical oral examination is the current standard method for screening. Oral cancer screening may be performed by a physician or a healthcare workers and is an affordable and feasible method. There is some evidence that this low-cost method is effective in decreasing mortality from oral cancer in high risk population. The cluster-randomised trial in India that had 15 years of follow-up reported an 81 % mortality reduction in high-risk populations of tobacco and/or alcohol users who adhered to four screening rounds. The observational studies similarly reported 21-22 % reduction in advanced oral cancer and 24-26 % reduction in oral cancer mortality among high risk population. Implementation and evaluation of oral cancer screening programmes in high risk population will support the goals of the World Health Organisation on global oral health.

Effect of different protocols in preventing demineralization in irradiated human enamel, in vitro study.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Department of Operative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: This in vitro study evaluated the efficacy of professional and home-use fluoride regimens for protecting irradiated enamel, undergoing pH cycling resembling xerostomia.
Methods: Sixty human premolar teeth were irradiated with a total dose of 70 Gy and subsequently sectioned into 3 × 3 cm enamel slabs. These slabs were randomly distributed into five groups (n = 12 per group): professional-use groups received fluoride varnish either weekly (FV1) or biweekly (FV2); home-use groups applied 5000 ppm (FT5) or 1450 ppm (FT) fluoride toothpaste; and a control group (control) received no treatment.
Development and validation of a five-year cardiovascular risk assessment tool for Asian adults aged 75 years and older.
BMC Geriatr
January 2025
Graduate Institute of Clinical Pharmacy, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, No. 33, Linsen S. Rd., Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei, 100025, Taiwan.
Background: To identify cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in Asian elderly aged 75 years and older and subsequently develop and validate a sex-specific five-year CV risk assessment tool for this population.
Methods: This study included 12,174 patients aged ≥ 75 years without a prior history of cardiovascular disease at a single hospital in Taiwan. Electronic health records were linked to the National Health Insurance Research Database and the National Death Registry to ensure comprehensive health information.
YAP-driven malignant reprogramming of oral epithelial stem cells at single cell resolution.
Nat Commun

Gleiberman Head and Neck Cancer Center, Moores Cancer Center, University of California San Diego Health, La Jolla, CA, 92037, USA.
Tumor initiation represents the first step in tumorigenesis during which normal progenitor cells undergo cell fate transition to cancer. Capturing this process as it occurs in vivo, however, remains elusive. Here we employ spatiotemporally controlled oncogene activation and tumor suppressor inhibition together with multiomics to unveil the processes underlying oral epithelial progenitor cell reprogramming into tumor initiating cells at single cell resolution.

Introduction: Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) describes bowel dysfunction post-restorative proctectomy (RP) and is associated with poor quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of an interactive online informational and peer support App on participants' QoL (primary outcome), LARS, and emotional distress (secondary outcomes).
Methods: A multicentre, randomized, parallel-group trial was conducted across five Canadian colorectal surgery practices.

Background: Parents of children newly diagnosed with cancer require specialized education to provide care for their child at home, including the management of complex medication regimens.
Objective: To assess the complexity of home medication regimens in a cohort of newly diagnosed pediatric oncology patients.
Methods: We inventoried and categorized all discharge medications for each patient and used the Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI) to quantify the complexity of the prescribed medication regimens.
