Summary
Mindfulness offers preventive and therapeutic benefits for children. Acupuncture aids post-cesarean recovery, while cannabis prescription is now easier, though evidence for cannabinoids remains limited.
Area of Science:
- Integrative medicine
- Evidence-based practice
Context:
- Pediatric mental health
- Obstetric pain management
- Cannabis regulation
Purpose:
- Summarize recent scientific findings and regulatory changes in 2022.
- Highlight the growing evidence for mindfulness and acupuncture.
- Provide practical information on cannabis prescription.
Summary:
- A meta-analysis confirms mindfulness's preventive and therapeutic effects in pediatrics.
- Acupuncture effectively reduces post-cesarean pain and improves early mobilization.
- Cannabis prescription is now more accessible following regulatory changes, but clinical evidence is weak for most uses.
Impact:
- Supports the clinical implementation of mindfulness and acupuncture.
- Informs healthcare providers on current therapeutic options and regulatory updates.
- Underscores the need for further research on cannabinoid efficacy.

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...
