Non-verbal and proxemic communication: Its importance in different areas

This article explores the importance of non-verbal communication and proxemics in interpersonal relationships. Throughout it, we are shown that non-verbal communication includes both personal presence and human interaction through gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice and other signals. These play a very important role in conveying feelings, emotions and context. It also addresses proxemics, which refers ...

Cultural Translation and Validation of the Bariatric Quality of Life Index to E...

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic noncommunicable disease, defined by a body mass index over 30 kg/m2. Its impact is not restricted to its association with higher risks of mortality and morbidity from other noncommunicable diseases, but also with a decrease in quality of life (QoL). There are several tools to assess QoL, from generic health-related tools to obesity-related specific ones. However, to assess QoL...

The aim of the present essay is to circumvent the occasional limitations imposed by the available sources and adopt a broader approach, taking...

Immunotherapy in penile cancer: a systematic review

Penile cancer (PeCa) ranks as the 30th most prevalent cancer globally, predominantly affecting populations in developing countries. Phimosis and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection are recognized as the primary risk factors. Early-stage diagnosis typically warrants limited excision or non-invasive therapies. However, recent research into the carcinogenesis tumour microenvironment, and the role of the host immu...

The effect of nutritional intervention in nutritional risk screening on hospita...

Abstract: Background: Lung cancer (LC) patients are prone to suffer from malnutrition. Malnutrition negatively affects patients’ response to therapy, increases the incidence of treatment-related side effects, and decreases survival. Early identification of LC patients who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition can promote recovery and improve prognosis. Objective: This study aimed to assess the risk and nu...

EBV infection and expression of HER2 and CD34 in gastric cancer, how are they r...

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC), as a multifactorial disease, exhibits a complex pathogenesis, having intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity, challenging the efficacy of current treatments[1,2]. GC as a major global health problem, better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are needed, leading to further biomarkers research associated to innovative targeted therapies[3,4]. Objectives: Our aim was to study hum...

Human Papilomavirus infection and Ki-67 expression in Penile Cancer: Do they re...

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis is a rare but devastating neoplasm for the patient. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection can induce penile carcinogenesis and may contribute to 30 to 50% of penile cancer (PeCa) cases. The overexpression of P16INK4a can be used as a surrogate marker for active HPV infections, although the correlation between HPV infection in PeCa still is controversial. K...

Diversity of lakes and ponds in the forest-tundra ecozone: from limnicity to li...

Arctic and subarctic landscapes have unique hydrological and limnological features and are now experiencing rapid change due to climate warming and permafrost thaw. The highly abundant lakes, ponds, and rivers across these landscapes play an increasingly important role in global biogeochemical cycles and are sentinels of environmental changes. However, studying these remote waters poses challenges for both in s...
