Aim: Purpose of this research was to study what factors that can predict sexual dysfunction in Thai patients with cancer after treatment.Methods: This study was a predictive correlational research. Participants were 110 Thai patients with cancer of breast, prostate, bladder, and colon who were completed treatments from 6 months - 2 years from a university hospital, and 2 cancer specialize hospitals in 2013. The instruments were (1) the personal information and disease related treatment questionnaires (2) Dyadic Adjustment Scale developed by Spanier [1] and were translated into Thai by Kasemkitawatana (1993); and (3) the Sexual Health Dysfunction questionnaires developed by Kumdaeng [2]. Alpha Cronbach’s coefficients were .89 both Dyadic Adjustment Scale and Sexual Health Dysfunction questionnaires. Data were analyzed by descriptive and multiple regression. Result: Results found that gender, dyadic consensus, and affectional expression in the dyadic adjustment could predict the sexual dysfunction at .05 level, whereas age, duration of marriage, and other two subscales of dyadic adjustment could not predict the sexual dysfunction in patients with cancer after treatment.Conclusion: Results confirmed that Thai cancer patients generally had to deal with sexual dysfunction. Female with low degree of dyadic consensus and less affectional expression predictively had more sexual dysfunction. These results can be used as evidence-based to provide and improve sexual health in patients with cancer after treatment.
Evaluating the Quality of Life and Social Support in Patients with Cervical C...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
Aims: Purposes of this descriptive correlational research were to 1) describe quality of life and social support and 2) look at the correlation of certain factors and quality of life in women with cervical cancer after treatment. Methods: Fifty-three women diagnosed with cervical cancer who were followed up after finished the treatments at the Gynecological outpatient department of a university hospital in 2016.They were asked to fill 3 questionnaires; 1) the general information; 2) Social support; and 3) Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACT-Cervix). Alpha Cronbach’s coefficients for the social support was .73 and for the FACT-Cervix was .91. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistic and Spearman Rank Test.Result: Results showed that participants’ age was ranged from 30 to 86, mean=55.15 (SD=10.05). Social support was about 29 to 59, mean=48.23 (SD=6.76). Symptom distress was from 0 to 9, mean=3.36 (SD=2.83). For quality of life was diverted from 75 to159, mean=126.02 (SD=21.09). The results discovered that there was no correlation between age and social support with the quality of life, however, there was negative correlation between symptom distress and quality of life with r=-.40 at p=0.003.Conclusion: This study disclosed that social support for this women’s group could not help to improve their quality of life. Their symptom distress seems to have a direct effect on their QOL. Thus, the healthcare team needs to alleviate patients’ distress in order to improve the quality of life in cervical cancer survivors.

This document summarizes a presentation about cancer survivorship care plans. It discusses the growing number of cancer survivors and challenges they face after treatment. Standards for survivorship care plans have been recommended, including treatment summaries and follow-up care plans covering surveillance, late effects management, and coordination of care. However, few cancer centers provide complete survivorship care plans meeting all recommended elements. Future work is needed to evaluate how survivorship care plans can benefit patients and providers, and to determine optimal ways to implement high-quality survivorship care planning.

This document summarizes the results of a survey of 115 Japanese medical facilities that treat gynecologic cancers, regarding their palliative care practices. The survey found that about 30% of facilities had a dedicated palliative care ward. Most facilities had a palliative care team but about half of physicians on the team had other duties as well. End-of-life care was typically managed in the gynecology department. The median time between a patient's last chemotherapy treatment and death was 85 days. Over 15% of patients received chemotherapy within 30 days of death and over 7% within 14 days of death. The survey identified some gaps in palliative care coordination and opportunities to improve symptom management at the end of life.

This document describes the development and validation of the Chemotherapy-induced Alopecia Distress Scale (CADS) to measure distress from hair loss in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Researchers developed questions through qualitative interviews with patients, then administered surveys to 305 patients to test the scale's structure and validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified a 17-item scale across 4 domains with good model fit. The CADS showed adequate reliability and validity when correlated with other psychosocial measures and in a validation study with 428 additional patients. The CADS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing distress from chemotherapy-induced hair loss in breast cancer patients.

2013 Cancer Survivorship Conference at Jefferson University Hospitalsjeffersonhospital
Jefferson's Cancer Survivorship Program will help you understand what it means to be a cancer survivor and what to expect from your cancer diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care. This Program is for current patients, cancer survivors and loved ones who have lived with a cancer diagnosis or have undergone cancer treatment at Jefferson.
This document provides information about cancer survivorship from the American Society of Clinical Oncology. It defines survivorship as beginning at diagnosis and discusses the challenges survivors may face after treatment, both psychological and physical. It emphasizes the importance of follow-up care, lifestyle changes, asking questions, and utilizing survivorship resources to help adjust to life after cancer treatment.
This study examines the mental health status, use of mental health services, and prescription of psychotherapeutic medications among US cancer survivors, their spouses, and the general population using national surveys. It finds that cancer survivors and their spouses have lower mental health status and higher rates of depression than the general population. They are also more likely to use psychotherapeutic medications. The study aims to describe and compare these factors between the oncology population and general public, and identify predictors of mental health outcomes within the oncology group.

The Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center in Connecticut is conducting a research study on the effects of massage therapy for cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors. The randomized controlled trial will assign 100 breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment at least one year prior to either receive Swedish massage once per week for five weeks or to only complete surveys about fatigue levels. Fatigue levels will be measured before, during, and after the study period using standardized questionnaires to compare the effects of massage versus no massage on managing cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors. The study is funded by a grant from the Massage Therapy Foundation.
Irrationality and response expectancies David Ancuța, Clinical Psychologistclinicamedisprof
This study investigated the predictive value of expectancies, catastrophizing, and irrational beliefs about chemotherapy side effects on quality of life in 44 breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The study found that patients' response expectancies about side effects significantly predicted experiencing those side effects. General irrational beliefs predicted emotional distress before treatment, and catastrophizing symptoms predicted experiencing side effects. The results suggest that psychological interventions addressing response expectancies and irrational beliefs could help reduce emotional distress and severity of side effects from chemotherapy.
This study examined the relationship between psychosocial factors (depression, anxiety, coping style, social support) and survival outcomes in 708 young women with early-stage breast cancer in Australia. Psychosocial factors were assessed via questionnaires administered about 11 months after diagnosis on average. Over a median follow-up of 8.2 years, 33% experienced distant cancer recurrence and 24% died. No statistically significant associations were found between any psychosocial factors and distant disease-free or overall survival after adjusting for known prognostic factors like tumor characteristics and treatment. Higher levels of anxious preoccupation were marginally associated with poorer survival in unadjusted analyses but not after adjustment, and anxious preoccupation was also associated with worse tumor features. The findings do

Communicating hope and truth: A presentation for health care professionalsbkling
This document discusses improving cancer communication between doctors and patients. It begins with some cancer epidemiology statistics in the US. The main points are:
- The language used in oncology, such as "war on cancer", can imply meanings that increase patient anxiety and imply blame.
- Terms like "early detection" and "screening saves lives" may give patients a false sense of prevention or cure.
- Doctors should acknowledge patient emotions, use plain language, present information in bite-sized chunks, and encourage participation in decision making.
- When discussing risks, benefits, and the future, doctors should address patient concerns directly and not minimize their experiences. The goal is to provide trust and hope while still being honest.
Xx psychological impact of clinical treatment after breast cancer diagnosis inYelmi Reni Putri SY
This study evaluated the psychological impact of breast cancer treatment over three years in younger patients aged 38-50. Psychological tests were administered at several time points to measure distress, anxiety, anger, and depression. The results showed that emotional regulation and resilience improved how patients dealt with their diagnosis and treatment. However, vulnerability was detected, especially around 12 months post-diagnosis and after treatment ended. Overall psychological well-being fluctuated over the three-year period. Maintaining a normal lifestyle after treatment was linked to better survival outcomes. The study highlighted the emotional challenges faced by younger breast cancer patients.
This document summarizes a qualitative study that explored perceptions of breast cancer screening among Iranian women who had never had a mammogram. Through interviews with 16 women, researchers identified 3 main themes: 1) low awareness - women lacked medical knowledge about breast cancer and screening and had misconceptions about risk factors, 2) worries - women expressed fears about mammography outcomes and side effects and embarrassment about breast exams, and 3) lack of motivation - women cited lack of social support and priorities as well as environmental constraints as barriers to screening. The study aimed to understand perceptions in order to improve breast cancer education and screening programs in Iran.

The document summarizes a qualitative study that explored how a colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment impacted patients' quality of life in Jordan. Ten Jordanian patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer participated in semi-structured interviews. Analysis of the interviews identified four main categories reflecting changes in patients' quality of life: 1) perceptions of quality of life such as diminished physical fitness and treatment side effects, 2) cancer as a source of distress through emotions, outlook on the future, and lost confidence, 3) changing roles like dependencies and altered responsibilities, and 4) changes in social life including isolation and disrupted family life. The study provides insight into how colorectal cancer affected patients' lives physically, psychologically, and socially.

A cancer diagnosis is hard to take and having cancer is not easy. Like all chronic illnesses, cancer
involves a series of negative threat to life of individual that may be due to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer
as it has the ability to shake one’s worldview and significantly impact one’s assumption about life. In addition to
commonly recognized negative effects such as posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), there may also be positive
personal developmental change, including posttraumatic growth (PTG)which is affected by the anxiety level of
the patient. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between post traumatic growth, ways of
coping and anxiety among cancer patients. The study involved 100 cancer patients. There was a highly positive
correlation between PTG and WAYS. State-trait anxiety was found to be highly negatively co-related to post
traumatic growth and ways of coping.Thus it can be concluded that post traumatic growth and ways of coping
goes in same manner which suggest that the better the coping behavior used by cancer patients more will be the
post traumatic growth and there was negative relationship between post traumatic growth, ways of coping and
state-trait anxiety

in psychological, social, and practical challenges, which can contribute to
patient distress (Carlson, Waller, Groff, Giese-Davis, & Bultz, 2013). The
International Psycho-Oncology Society highlights distress as a critical factor
affecting patients’ well-being and recommends that distress be named the
sixth vital sign in oncology (Holland, Watson, & Dunn, 2011). The report-
ed prevalence rates of psychological distress in patients with cancer range
from 35%–49% (Carlson, Groff, Maciejewski, & Bultz, 2010). However, the
actual rates of distress are thought to be much higher because of underdetec-
tion. Clinician assessments have been shown to be inferior to gold-standard
methods, such as validated screening tools and clinical interviews (Werner,
Stenner, & Schüz, 2012), and distress is often missed by clinicians (Mitchell,
Vahabzadeh, & Magruder, 2011).
Distress encompasses a range of issues, including psychological, spiritual,
and existential distress, as well as juggling roles and having financial concerns
and practical problems, such as needing help with accommodation or travel.
Distress is associated with poorer physical and psychological quality of life
(Carlson et al., 2010). Detecting distress in patients with cancer can result in
early intervention, which helps avoid patients struggling with unmet or com-
plex needs (Faller et al., 2013). Identifying distress early could also reduce the
financial burden on health services (Han et al., 2015). Healthcare profession-
als (HCPs) must recognize distress so it can be adequately managed (Werner
et al., 2012); to do this, HCPs need to screen all patients systematically.
Several organizations and professional bodies state in their standards
for quality cancer care that psychosocial support should include routine
screening for distress, followed by appropriate referrals targeted to the needs
identified by patients (Holland et al., 2011; Werner et al., 2012). Despite this,
uptake of routine distress screening in clinical oncology settings has been
suboptimal (Mitchell, Lord, Slattery, Grainger, & Symonds, 2012). Many
barriers exist to the successful implementation of routine distress screen-
ing in clinical settings, including a lack of training, clinicians’ perception of
limited skills and confidence in identifying distress, and inadequate referral
resources (Absolom et al., 2011). A shortage of private space has also been
identified (Ristevski et al., 2013). Many HCPs believe that addressing distress
will take too much time. However, appropri ...
Abstract
The rehabilitation counsellor works with people with disabilities to assist them in ways to improve their quality of life and vocational outcomes. The types of disabilities among people are diverse, multifaceted, and vary in severity. One such disability group is individuals with cancer. Persons with cancer account for a minimal percentage of the total successfully closed vocational rehabilitation cases. Over the past few decades, the prognosis of many types of cancer has improved, with a resulting increase in the number of cancer survivors who have the ability to resume work after treatment and therapy. This article provides a comprehensive review of rehabilitation counsellors’ involvement in enhancing the lives of individuals with cancer including the employment means, Psychological Impact, and effective interventions to employ these goals.
Patients with carcinoma of the buccal mucosa treated with postoperative ipsilateral radiotherapy at a single institution were analyzed. 116 patients received ipsilateral radiotherapy to a median dose of 60 Gy. With a median follow-up of 24 months, the 2-year local, regional and locoregional control rates were 88.4%, 89.5% and 80.9% respectively. The 2-year disease-free and overall survival rates were 77.4% and 79.5% respectively. Contralateral neck failures occurred in only 3.4% of patients. Ipsilateral radiotherapy achieved good locoregional control for select postoperative buccal mucosa cancer patients.

This study analyzed 54 breast carcinoma cases to correlate histopathological findings with estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status and prognostic importance. Ductal carcinoma was the most common type observed in 92.6% of cases. Lymph node metastasis was found in 66% of cases. Most cases (54%) were histological grade II. A positive correlation was found between histological grade and ER, PR, HER2 status. Higher grades were more likely to be ER and PR negative. The study concluded that immunohistochemical markers can help predict prognosis and guide treatment for breast cancer patients.
The document discusses a study examining self-efficacy, body image, and sexual adjustment in women with breast cancer. Key findings include:
1) Women with breast cancer had low self-efficacy and their former sexual adjustment and body image negatively affected their post-diagnosis sexual functions.
2) Women who underwent mastectomy or lacked partner support/sexuality education had lower scores on measures of self-efficacy and sexual/body image adjustment.
3) There was a positive correlation between self-efficacy in self-care and better sexual adjustment, sexual function, and body image. Support from oncology professionals is important for women's physical, social and emotional needs after a breast cancer diagnosis.
Qualitative Study on Lived in Experiences of Breast Cancer Patients at Mahagu...Kailash Nagar
This document summarizes a qualitative study that explored the lived experiences of 10 breast cancer patients in India. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand various dimensions of patients' experiences, including physical, psychological, social, economic, vocational, and spiritual impacts. Themes that emerged from the interviews included experiences related to time, body, treatment, relationships, economy, vocation, and spirituality. Patients reported fear, anxiety, frustration and inability to perform daily activities during treatment. Support from family, friends, and spiritual beliefs helped with coping. The study highlights the need for supportive nursing care that addresses the subjective experiences of women with breast cancer.
This study investigated the long-term effects of comprehensive lifestyle changes on telomere length and telomerase activity in men with low-risk prostate cancer. The study followed 10 men who participated in a lifestyle intervention program for 5 years and compared them to 25 external controls. The lifestyle program involved a plant-based diet, exercise, stress management, and social support. The study found that relative telomere length increased from baseline in the lifestyle group but decreased in the control group. Adherence to lifestyle changes was associated with increased telomere length after adjusting for age. Telomerase activity decreased from baseline in both groups with no significant differences between them.

A radiology report serves as an intermediary between a radiologist and referring clinician for suggesting
appropriate treatment to the patients, aimed at better healthcare management. It is essentially a tool
that assists radiologists in conveying their input to the patients and clinicians regarding positive or negative findings on a case. The objective of this paper is to discuss and propose Radiology Information & Reporting System (RIRS), highlight challenges governing its implementation and suggest way forwards
towards its effective implementation across the public sector tertiary care institutions of Pakistan. In the end, it is concluded that the proposed RIRS would potentially offer enormous benefits in terms of cost
savings, reporting accuracy, faster processing and operational efficiency as opposed to the conventionally available manual radiology reporting procedures and systems.
Presently, there are two categories of cigarettes, namely, combustible cigarette and noncombustible or electronic cigarettes (EC). While combustible cigarettes release smoke,
electronic cigarettes produce vapor or aerosol mist. To address the concerns of harm from tobacco smoke, which contains over 100 potentially harmful chemicals to human health. Exposure to those chemicals is the known cause of smoking-related diseases, such as, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, and bronchial cancers. On the other hand, without
combustion or burning, electronic cigarettes, either the nicotine liquid, or the heat-notburn tobacco sticks, produce no tar and emit less toxicants. In this regard, both types of the
less harm e-cigarettes have been recommended for using as alternative solution as harm reduction strategies for addicted cigarette smokers. It is becoming more popular worldwide,
especially in the USA.

Advanced age, having comorbidities, and vitamin D deficiency are three most important reasons for increased vulnerability to COVID-19 and also worsen complications and increase the risk of death.
Despite the vast amount of information available and lessons learned, many countries are still not fully utilizing these to manage secondary peaks of COVID-19 infection. Factors associated with worse COVID-19 prognosis include, older age, ethnicity, male sex, having comorbidities, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking; all these are associate with vitamin D deficiency. COVID-19 symptomatology varies from
mostly asymptomatic, to, up to 2% fatality. The latter is characterized by cytokine storm, an immune reaction, diffuse arterial thromboembolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary oedema,and death.
Myiasis is the infestation by larvae of flies. Myiasis may involve the skin, eyes, nasal passages, gastrointestinal and enitourinary tracts. Cases of urinary myiasis are very rare mostly occurs in immunocompromised hosts, those with previous urologic instrumentation or those with poor socioeconomic status. We present a case of successful outpatient treatment of urinary myiasis in two immunocompetent females without prior urological history
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities for implementing a unified Radiology Information and Reporting System (RIRS) in developing countries like Pakistan. It proposes a RIRS with four interconnected subsystems to streamline the radiology workflow and automate reporting. However, there are technical, financial, legal and regulatory challenges to overcome due to the decentralized healthcare system and lack of digital infrastructure. If successfully implemented, a RIRS could improve the efficiency, accuracy and accessibility of radiology services across Pakistan.
The document discusses COVID-19, its origins, evolution, symptoms, transmission, prevention and mortality. It notes that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China in late 2019. It is caused by a coronavirus that is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Common symptoms include cough, fever and shortness of breath. Basic prevention measures include hand washing, social distancing and wearing face masks. Mortality rates vary by country and are highest among older individuals and those with underlying conditions. Vitamin D deficiency may also increase risk of severe outcomes.

Advancements in modern imaging techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography and other radiological procedures have improved the diagnosis of gynecological conditions to a great extent. However, the establishment of a final diagnosis and the initiation of appropriate treatment requires direct viewing of the uterine cavity as in hysteroscopy. In many cases, the patient can be treated during the initial hysteroscopy.
The document summarizes an Acceptance and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Program (ACRIP) developed to address Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in adolescents. It describes how the ACRIP was developed based on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness theories. The 8-module program was tested in previous studies and shown to effectively reduce IGD symptoms and improve psychological well-being. The document recommends adopting the ACRIP for treating IGD through telemedicine given its proven efficacy and the need to address this emerging public health issue.
Since the implementation of the “Unified Health System (SUS)” in Brazil in 1990 (public system that offers universal access to any citizen, whether employed or not), there have been
significant and diversified advances in the formulation of structural policies and programmatic actions of the health sector, directed to the three levels of complexity of the system, with a view to its operationalization/expansion in the country [1].
Telemedicine, E health and other technologies promise change that can profoundly affect patients and providers. Even a quick scan of topics featured in this journal demonstrates its impact on quality of life, public health concerns, and effectiveness healthcare. However, this powerful area of health care also creates serious issues for patients and providers. This writer
is particularly interested in ethics issues that affect the soul of health care.
Since the end of the twentieth century the epidemiological discourse has acquired a more and more undeniable value. This universal symbolic authority of epidemiology of risk factors has become emblematic with the incorporation of lifestyle rhetoric [1-3]. In advocating such
an approach, the area has departed from its historical and epistemological assumptions (population and social context of illness) over the valuation of individual perspective inherent to the emergence of a new globalized economic order, which has gradually shifted the collective concerns of health public to a marginal position [4,5] especially in peripheral capitalist countries [6].
Psychological studies involving humans suggested that addiction is a form of learning and that relapse is a persistent memory of the drug experiences [1,2]. It is the gene transcription factor Cyclic AMP Response-Element-Binding protein (CREB) acting as a switch, converting short-term memory to long-term memory, referred to as the acetylation of chromatin structures [3].
The use of mobile applications, through smart phones, smartphones, has been considered by many to be the technological revolution of greatest repercussion in recent times. Compared to a handheld computer and with access to millions of applications, its main feature is unlimited mobility, accompanying its user at all times and in any place. In health, it is known that professionals are constantly moving outside of the institutions in which they work, so mobility is fundamental, which contributes to the interoperability of mobile technologies. This study aims to identify the research involving mobile technology applied to the vaccination being used. The methodology used is of the type integrative review of the literature. The final sample had 14 papers.
Protective Effects of Ethanol Leaf-Extract of Cajanus Cajan (Linn) in Alcohol...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
Protective Effects of Ethanol Leaf-Extract of Cajanus Cajan (Linn) in Alcohol Induced Nephrotoxicity in Albino Rats by NN Ezeani* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health
The protective effects of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan in alcohol induced nephrotoxicity in albino rats were investigated. Thirty-six albino rats were assigned into six (6) experimental groups (A, B, C, D, E, F) with six rats in each group. Group A (Normal control) was administered normal saline only. Group B (standard control) was administered 5mg/kg body weight of standard drug (Silymarin); group C (positive control) was administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol while rats in groups D,E and F (test groups) were administered graded doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weights of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. Rats in standard control and test groups were administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol, once a day, 3 hours after administration of standard drug and ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. The administration lasted for 14 days through oral intubation. The result of our investigation showed that creatinine, uric acid and urea were significantly (P<0.05) increased in positive control group compared to the levels observed in the normal and standard control groups. However, groups administered ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan at the doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weight all showed a significant (P<0.05) reversal in the trends of these parameters to concentrations comparable to those observed in the positive and normal control groups. The findings of this study suggest that ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan may have potentials that could be exploited for development of chemotherapies against renal toxicity.

A Survey of Energy Efficiency in Wireless Human Body Sensors Lifetime for Hea...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
A Survey of Energy Efficiency in Wireless Human Body Sensors Lifetime for Healthcare Applications by Sara Kassan*, Jaafar Gaber and Pascal Lorenz in Crimson Publishers: Digital health journal impact factor
Wireless Human Body Sensor Networks (WHBSNs) are extensively used in vital sign monitoring applications and predicting crop health in in order to identify emergency situations and allow caregivers to respond efficiently. When a sensor is drained of energy, it can no longer achieve its role without a substituted source of energy. However, limited energy in a sensor’s battery prevents the long-term process in such applications. In addition, replacing the sensors’ batteries and redeploying the sensors can be very expensive in terms of time and budget and need the presence of the patient at the hospital. To overcome the energy limitation, researchers have proposed the use of energy harvesting to reload the rechargeable battery by power. Therefore, efficient power management is required to increase the benefits of having additional environmental energy. This paper presents a review of energy efficient harvesting mechanisms to extend the Wireless Human Body Sensors lifetime.

The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma_ Crimson PublishersCrimsonpublishersTTEH
The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma by Anubha Bajaj* in Crimson Publishers: International journal of telemedicine and applications
Sebaceous epithelioma is a benign, exceptional, distinctive neoplasm comprised of basaloid cells and mature sebocytes. Although a sporadic neoplasm, Muir-Torre syndrome can be frequently associated with sebaceous epithelioma. Benign sebaceous epithelioma, additionally termed as sebaceoma is indicative of sebaceous neoplasm exceeding >50% basaloid cell component and demonstrates yellow papules, nodules or plaques predominating on sites of enhanced sebaceous glands. Dermoscopy delineates yellow-tinged, granular articulations with fine, curvilinear capillaries and vascular formations. Sebaceoma incorporates an admixture of undifferentiated basaloid cells and differentiated sebaceous cells. Basaloid cells enunciate a cytoplasmic vacuolation and sebaceous cells are clear and lipid rich. Histological variants of sebaceoma include carcinoid- like, sinusoidal, reticulated, cribriform, rippled and sebaceoma with Verocay bodylike features. Immune reactivity to adipophilin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin 5(CK5), cytokeratin 6(CK6) and p40 are elucidated. Sebaceoma requires a distinction from basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation and trichoblastoma with sebaceous differentiation. Surgical resection of the neoplasm with a narrow surgical resection margin is the preferred therapeutic option.

Tobacco Harm Reduction by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health open access journals
Cigarette smoke contain approximately 250 different chemicals known to be harmful to human health. Thousands of harmful chemical substances produce by the combustion of tobacco. The health impacts such as cancer and chronic lung disease are not only associated with smokers but also people who are exposed to secondhand smoke. Tobacco Harm Reduction is a concept to minimize the impacts of tobacco on the individual and on society at large. A key component of this strategy is using alternative source of nicotine as a substitute to tobacco cigarettes. Electronic cigarette and heated tobacco are alternatives that might have potential in reduce harm from smokes. This paper elaborates on available research associated with electronic cigarette and heated tobacco with harm reduction and risk perspective.

Asbestos Pollution by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine Journal and e-health
A news article, entitled “Study Finds Asbestos in Nearly Half of Thailand’s Population” by Tim Povtak, was published in CTN News (Chaing Rai News) on July 3, 2019. Unfortunately, it contained some misunderstandings concerning the recent report of Incharoen and her colleagues [1]. For the record, two studies have been conducted in Thailand to search for the presence of asbestos bodies in the lungs of patients who had died of different conditions besides asbestos-related diseases. The first study by Sri umpai et al. [2] was published in 1985. Those researchers reported that, of the 330 cadavers that they had examined, 33 percent were found to contain asbestos bodies [2]. The second study by Incharoen et al. [1] was conducted 30 odd years later; those researchers found an even higher incidence of asbestos bodies, i.e. up to 48.5 percent, in 97 of the 200 cadavers that they had examined [1].
The findings of both studies implied that Thai people at large were being exposed to increasing amounts of asbestos fibers floating in the ambient atmosphere. The pollutants were likely being released from the earth during rough weather, as well as the scaling off of asbestos fibers from the roof tiles and siding of aging houses. The studies did not claim that such exposure would lead to the death of those who had been exposed to asbestos bodies in their lungs

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
