Increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) demands comprehensive understanding of the corresponding supportive care needs (SCN), especially in low and middle-income settings.

Biofilm has been identified as the contributing factor for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Nasal douching using baby shampoo was thought to be effective in patients with CRSwNP. We aimed to study the in-vitro reduction of biofilm using diluted 1% baby shampoo.

Physicians’ knowledge and practice which are consistent with evidence-based guidelines can improve allergic rhinitis (AR) patients’ care. Compared with western countries, the available literature about Asian doctors’ perceptions and clinical practices regarding Allergic Rhinitis and its Impacts on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines is limited.

The diagnosis and management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) may vary between otolaryngologists and allergists. Moreover, the adherence of different practitioners to European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS)2020 guideline recommendations has not been previously ascertained in Asia-Pacific regions.

During the 2024 annual meeting in London, The European Society of Cardiology released new guidelines (GLs) on chronic coronary syndromes (CCSs) and simultaneously published them in the European Heart Journal.

Effective treatment options remain an unmet need for patients (pts) with microsatellite stable/mismatch repair proficient (MSS/pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Combination therapy with the anti–lymphocyte activation gene (LAG)-3 antibody favezelimab (fave) and the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab (pembro), has shown promising antitumor activity and manageable safety in PD-L1 CPS ≥1 MSS/pMMR mCRC. The phase 3 KEYFORM-007 study (NCT05064059) evaluated the efficacy and safety of co-formulated fave/pembro vs standard-of-care (SOC) in PD-L1–positive MSS/pMMR mCRC. We present results of the pre-specified final analysis of OS.

Occupational Therapists use craft-making activities as therapeutic interventions to improve physical and psychological functioning of injured people. Despite the therapeutic effects, craft-making is not routinely used in hand rehabilitation as an intervention for patients with upper limb fractures. These patients often experience physical and psychosocial issues; however, without supportive evidence, therapists hesitate to integrate craft-making into upper limb rehabilitation.
