Therapeutic communities (TCs; a type of residential substance use program emphasizing holistic self-improvement and communal living) are well suited to the treatment of SUDs in corrections, especially prisons. Studies on prison TCs have generally found them to be effective (and cost-effective) in ...
Twenty-five publications, conference presentations, and unpublished reports on outcome of therapeutic communities for drug abusers are reviewed for the period 1963 to 1975. A wide variety of methodological limitations are noted, including retrospective designs, unclear definition of outcome variables, low ...
Gut microbiota communities are highly flexible, with their composition influenced by a variety of external and host factors such as high-fat diet, age, physiological condition, and genetic background.49When gut dysbiosis happens, the amount of some gut microbiota includingLactobacillus,Bacteroides,andBi...
In patients with tumors, a large number of cancer cells are released in the circulation on a daily basis. The process of a portion of cancer cells moving away from the primary tumor site to form a secondary tumor at a secondary site is called “metastasis”. Cancer metastasis mainly includes...
The second strategy involved using the research team’s social media platforms to share a post with summary details of the study and survey link to online osteopathic groups and social media communities. The survey link was open for data collection between 22nd June 2023 and 4th August 2023. ...
NAD+ is a pivotal coenzyme in cellular metabolism, being significant in various signaling pathways, such as energy metabolism, DNA damage repair, gene expression, and stress response. Convincing evidence suggests that strategies designed to boost cellular NAD+ levels are a promising therapeutic option ...
Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and an increased frequency of extreme weather events are affecting the park's ecosystems, including the distribution and survival of plant and animal species. Though the communities around the park have a long tradition of using therapeutic plants for ...
which plays an important role in cell to cell interactions in biofilm. Alginate is a high molecular weight polymer and is involved in the structural stability of biofilms and protects it from dehydration. These EPSs are also implicated in the development of microbial communities in the respiratory ...
T cells are a critical part of the immune response against cancer.124They mature in the thymus and can be divided into different types based on their various functions and surface molecule markers. Among them, central T cell populations in tumors are helper CD4+, regulatory CD4+, and cytotoxic...
bacteria predominated tumor microbial communities, while fungi were less abundant, and a similar community combination was found in adjacent normal tissues.30Some microorganisms are present in a variety of tumors, but their proportions vary among different cancer types. Recent findings by Galeano Nino ...
