The Potential Applications of Stem Cells for Cancer Treatment
Authors: Niknam Malikeh Rad , Attari Farnoosh 
Published: September 2021

:Scientists encounter many obstacles in traditional cancer therapies, including the side effects on the healthy cells, drug resistance, tumor relapse, the short half-life of employed drugs in the blood circulation, and the improper delivery of drugs toward the tumor site. The unique traits of stem cells (SCs) such as self-renewal, differentiation, tumor tropism, the release of bioactive molecules, and immunosuppression have opened a new window for utilizing SCs as a novel tool in cancer treatment. In this regard, engineered SCs can secrete anti-cancer proteins or express enzymes used in suicide gene therapy which locally induce apoptosis in neoplastic cells via the bystander effect. These cells also stand as proper candidates to serve as careers for drug-loaded nanoparticles or to play suitable hosts for oncolytic viruses. Moreover, they harbor great potential to be employed in immunotherapy and combination therapy. However, tactful strategies should be devised to allow easier transplantation and protection of SCs from in vivo immune responses. In spite of the great hope concerning SCs application in cancer therapy, there are shortcomings and challenges to be addressed. This review tends to elaborate on recent advances on the various applications of SCs in cancer therapy and existing challenges in this regard.
Influence of Cultural and Religious Practices on the Management of Pregnancy at Mbombela Municipality, South Africa: An Explorative Study
Authors: Drigo Lucia , Makhado Lufuno , Lebese Rachel Tsakani , Chueng Maphuti Judas 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Cultural norms bring substantial weight in women’s decision-making, especially concerning the choice of the birth location. Cultural and religious practices may influence how pregnant women respond to Antenatal Care (ANC) services, feel confident about which questions to ask, or participate in the discussions about their care plan or birth options.

Purpose:
The study aimed to explore and describe the influence of cultural practices on the management of pregnancy in the Mbombela Municipality of Mpumalanga Province.

Methods:
Using a qualitative approach, pregnant women who failed to completely attend ANC services were purposively sampled, and individual unstructured in-depth interviews were employed to collect data. The study consisted of a sample size of 18 pregnant women, and data saturation was reached. Tech’s method of analysis was followed for data analysis.

Results:
Study findings revealed a significant theme: cultural practices and pregnancy management, encompassing three sub-themes: cultural practices in pregnancy, cultural medication taken by pregnant women, and the effects of cultural practices on pregnancy management.

Conclusion:
It is recommended that women should be given health education concerning ANC services every day while they wait in primary health care clinics. Accordingly, the healthcare professionals should encourage the active involvement of all pregnant women in health promotion gatherings and offer chances for clarity seeking. Despite the availability of free maternal healthcare services in primary healthcare clinics, women still consult traditional healers during pregnancy and believe in cultural practices. It is therefore important that programs developed for maternal services be congruent to the cultural practices of women to be serviced.
Controversies Surrounding Medical Clearance in Psychiatry Patients: Evidence, Recommendations, and Potential Approach
Authors: Alam Walid 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Despite the evidence and guidelines recommending otherwise, routine
testing remains pervasive in the management of patients presenting to the Emergency Department
(ED) for behavioral complaints under the guise of Medical Clearance (MC). The aim of
this review is to highlight the evidence available concerning routine laboratory testing in psychiatry
patients presenting to the ED, underline available guidelines, list possible reasons for
over-testing, and propose a possible approach based on all the evidence and recommendations.

Methods:
Electronic database searches were carried out in Medline/PubMed and Google
Scholar, with the period set from January 1, 1990, to March 1, 2021. The search process was
focused on studies in which MC was evaluated in the management of patients presenting for
psychiatric complaints to the ED. The references listed in each identified article were also
screened and manually searched.

Results:
A total of 14 relevant studies were found. The majority of the studies evaluated the
impact of routine laboratory testing on the management and disposition of adults in the ED
presenting for an acute psychiatric condition. Two studies investigated the use of a screening
tool to rule out the presence of acute medical illness.

Conclusion:
While ED physicians are faced with many challenges, such as litigation and fear
of diagnostic uncertainty, few solutions have been proposed. A suggested approach relies on
history taking, physical examination, and assessment of mentation to evaluate for the presence
of an organic etiology requiring further testing. Adequate communication between the ED physician
and psychiatrist, along with shared decision-making, are also the key to optimizing care.
Quantifying the Impact of COVID-19 on Telemedicine Utilization: Retrospective Observational Study
Authors: Vogt Emily Louise , Welch Brandon M , Bunnell Brian E , Barrera Janelle F , Paige Samantha R , Owens Marisa , Coffey Patricia , Diazgranados Nancy , Goldman David 
Published: September 2021

Background
While telemedicine has been expanding over the past decade, the COVID-19–related restrictions regarding in-person care have led to unprecedented levels of telemedicine utilization. To the authors’ knowledge, no studies to date have quantitatively analyzed both national and regional trends in telemedicine utilization during the pandemic, both of which have key implications for informing health policy.

Objective
This study aimed to investigate how trends in telemedicine utilization changed across the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
Using data from doxy.me, the largest free telemedicine platform, and the NIH (National Institutes of Health) Clinical Center, the largest clinical research hospital in the United States, we assessed changes in total telemedicine minutes, new provider registrations, monthly sessions, and average session length from March to November 2020. We also conducted a state-level analysis of how telemedicine expansion differed by region.

Results
National telemedicine utilization peaked in April 2020 at 291 million minutes and stabilized at 200 to 220 million monthly minutes from May to November 2020. Surges were strongest in New England and weakest in the South and West. Greater telemedicine expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic was geographically associated with fewer COVID-19 cases per capita. The nature of telemedicine visits also changed, as the average monthly visits per provider doubled and the average visit length decreased by 60%.

Conclusions
The COVID-19 pandemic led to an abrupt and subsequently sustained uptick in telemedicine utilization. Regional and institute-level differences in telemedicine utilization should be further investigated to inform policy and procedures for sustaining meaningful telemedicine use in clinical practice.
