Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tends to be diagnosed and evaluated using behavior-based means and assessments. Although these are generally...

This study found no association between interleukins IL-18 and IL-1α in the blood sera of patients suffering from vitiligo. Vitiligo is described as a depigmenting disease of the skin which is marked by the occurrence of white cutaneous spots that are often symmetrical and increase with time. In patients diagnosed with vitiligo, there is no...

There is a potential risk of the development of vitiligo in pediatric atopic dermatitis patients owing to the Koebner phenomenon. Vitiligo is a skin disorder associated with the loss of melanin from normal skin regions. An abnormal inflammatory response in this disorder indicates a potential association between vitiligo and atopic dermatitis (AD). Pediatric AD may...

Vitiligo patients have a characteristic premorbid temperament profile associated with affective traits, including high anxiety and low hyperthymic temperament traits. The findings of this...

Individuals diagnosed with vitiligo have significantly greater levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, which are the markers of autoimmune thyroid diseases. Vitiligo is an acquired skin disorder characterized by progressive melanocyte loss. Vitiligo is associated with autoimmune disorders, the most prevalent being autoimmune conditions of the thyroid. Vitiligo patients have significantly higher levels of...

Natural compounds, including antioxidants, contribute to the improvement of both vitiligo and associated mental health disorders, leading to a limited need for therapies and a better quality of life. Vitiligo is described as an autoimmune dermatosis and is often associated with mental health disorders. However, the cause–effect relationship between the two is yet to be...

Cancer patients did not experience a reduced psychological burden, including depression, fatigue, and anxiety, after being exposed to video sequence-based interventions. Cancer patients are likely to experience psychological symptoms and require psychological support, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. A randomized controlled trial investigating the outcomes of eHealth video sequence-based interventions demonstrated that video interventions were...

Self-administered passive sound interventions are feasible among cancer patients, with positive fatigue and social functioning outcomes. Besides morbidity and mortality, cancer substantially affects the quality of life of cancer patients. Music therapy has gained significant traction among various interventions developed for improving the emotional and physical well-being of cancer patients. This randomized controlled trial demonstrated...

Virtual reality is a potential alternative for pain prevention in bone marrow biopsy, as it is well-tolerated and associated with high patient and healthcare provider satisfaction. Bone marrow biopsy is associated with high levels of pain, despite local analgesia using lidocaine. Inhalation of the mixture of nitrous oxide/oxygen (MEOPA) is relatively easy to use and...
