Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.8K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance

540
Frustration occurs when people are obstructed or prevented from achieving a desired goal or fulfilling a perceived need. For example, when someone's input is ignored in a discussion, it can lead to feelings of frustration. Conflict, however, arises from opposing interests, goals, or actions. Conflicts can take various forms based on the nature of these opposing desires or goals.
One common type of conflict is the Approach–Approach Conflict. In this case, a person faces two desirable...

Actuarial Approach01:20

Actuarial Approach

312
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

591
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Oral Medicine
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Dental care is integral to cancer patient treatment.
  • Understanding the link between oral health and cancer therapy is vital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on periodontal and dental care for cancer patients.
  • To provide strategic recommendations for managing oral health during cancer treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on cancer patients' dental and periodontal care.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to oral complications.

Main Results:

  • Periodontal treatment requires personalization based on patient status.
  • Oral mucositis, periodontal status, and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) are key concerns.
  • Factors increasing ONJ risk include root amputation, tooth extraction, and severe mobility.

Conclusions:

  • Preventive care, oral hygiene, fluoride, and chlorhexidine are essential.
  • Flap management and primary wound closure are critical for extractions in patients on bone-modifying drugs.
