January 2025 in “Journal of Thu Dau Mot University” This study found that post-kidney transplant patients generally lacked disease knowledge, but good compliance behavior was associated with better knowledge, perceived susceptibility, and higher education levels.
May 2024 in “International journal of medicine and psychology.” This study examines the concepts of personality, resilience, and the subject's ability to overcome challenges, highlighting how personal values and life priorities relate to maintaining emotional stability. The findings may aid in developing practical strategies for enhancing resilience and psychological well-being.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This review evaluates controlled studies on Platelet-Rich Plasma for androgenetic alopecia treatment, reporting positive effects on hair growth and density but highlighting the need for standardized protocols.
January 2022 in “SSRN Electronic Journal” This submission discusses the updated CPSO policy on human rights in healthcare, suggesting it imposes excessive requirements on physicians objecting to certain services for ethical reasons, and recommends a unified protection of conscience policy.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that hair follicle stem cells in mice have an unexpected ability to adaptively determine their differentiation pathways, maintaining tissue architecture despite external stimuli.
January 2017 in “Qucosa (Saxon State and University Library Dresden)” This study found that plasma protein binding significantly contributes to the shifts in glucocorticosteroid concentration ratios among blood, saliva, and hair, challenging prior assumptions about enzyme inactivation as the main factor.
