Perception of Polish patients with cancer of the ethical and legal issues related to biobank research
CONCLUSIONS: Since biobanks generate ethical and legal issues related to informed consent, data protection and storage, as well as the sharing of biosamples, tissue ownership, and profit sharing, that may discourage patients from donation, when asking a patient for a donation, healthcare professionals should communicate in a donor-centered manner and address patients' ethical and moral concerns related to donation and offer resources to help manage these concerns.PMID:38666716 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae078 (Source: The Oncologist)

This article explores the experience of selected flagellants who continued to fulfill their religious practice amid the pandemic.

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 550: Orthodontic Status and Association with Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life & mdash;A Study of 16-Year-Old Norwegians with a Cleft Lip and Palate
Conclusions: The study revealed an association between severe cleft diagnosis, missing teeth, misaligned teeth, negative overjet, and poor OHRQoL, but a statistically significant association was found only between OHRQoL and poor intermaxillary sagittal relations (unfavorable profile). To improve OHRQoL among patients with clefts, there is a need for an individual follow-up and prioritization of oral healthcare.
