Gene Therapy

27.7K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

1.1K
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Summary

Intraoral orthotics can help relieve temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms. Effective management involves a thorough diagnosis, considering the placebo effect and patient-dentist relationship.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • The exact physiologic mechanisms behind intraoral orthotics' effectiveness in treating temporomandibular disorders (TMD) remain unclear.
  • Despite this, substantial evidence supports their role in alleviating TMD symptoms when integrated into a comprehensive management plan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of a differential diagnosis and tailored treatment plans for TMD.
  • To guide clinicians in assessing patient suitability for intraoral orthotic therapy and its diagnostic value.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical evaluation of patient cases for differential diagnosis.
  • Consideration of the placebo effect in treatment response.
  • Assessment of the patient-dentist relationship and patient education's impact.

Main Results:

  • Intraoral orthotics can contribute to symptom relief in TMD patients.
  • A significant portion (approximately 40%) of TMD patients may respond favorably due to the placebo effect.
  • Positive patient-dentist interactions and education can enhance treatment outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians must perform thorough patient evaluations to establish effective, individualized TMD management plans.
  • Intraoral orthotic therapy should be initiated with confidence in its potential benefit or diagnostic utility.
  • The psychological components of treatment, including placebo effects and patient-dentist rapport, play a crucial role in the success of intraoral orthotic therapy for TMD.
