Personalized Medicine: The Dawn of a New Era in Healthcare

The landscape of healthcare is transforming with the advent of personalized medicine, an approach that alters medical treatment to each individual's specific characteristics. This paradigm shift is driven by advancements in genomics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, which have developed a deeper understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of diseases. This new healthcare model is based on precision and individualization, aiming to provide customized healthcare with medical decisions and treatments by considering variability in genes, environment and lifestyle of an individual patient and offer accurate diagnosis, better treatments and prevention plans. The accomplishment of the Human Genome Project in 2003 was a significant advancement in genomics that provided blueprints of the human genome [1]. Rapid progress in genomic sequencing technologies makes it feasible and cost effective. Advanced sequencing techniques including next-generation sequencing allow a detailed analysis of genetic makeup to locate mutations and genetic predispositions for better treatment decisions. Cancer is caused by genetic heterogeneity and has benefited greatly from genomic insights. Molecular profiling of tumor cells allows the identification of specific genetic mutations involved in cancer pathogenesis. Targeted therapies can then be designed to inhibit these specific molecular pathways, leading to more effective and less toxic treatments compared to traditional chemotherapy. For example, in breast cancer the identification of Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations has led to the development of HER2-targeted therapies to improve treatment [2]. Besides oncology, personalized medicine is making progress in other fields. In cardiology, genetic testing allows identification of patients who are at risk of getting inherited cardiovascular diseases. In pharmacology, pharmacogenomics, the study of correlation between genes and immune response of an individual to drugs helps in designing most effective drugs with the least side effects for each patient. In infectious diseases, genomic sequencing of pathogenic microbes can lead to development of appropriate antimicrobial drugs to prevent outbreaks. Despite its progress, the implementation of personalized medicine is facing several challenges. The utilization of genomic data in clinical workflows demands significant changes to healthcare setting and training with concerns about data privacy, equal access to diverse populations and the ethical implications of genetic information. Currently, the universal unavailability of sophisticated bioinformatics tools to interpret complex genomic data is also a challenge. Researchers and policymakers must work in to set guidelines and standards for safe use of personalized medicine. Therefore, personalized medicine is a promising tool, which has revolutionized diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in traditional medicine. Using genomics and molecular biology, we can develop a more precise, predictive, and personalized approach to medicine. This exciting frontier must be navigated with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.

Patients' Expectations of Doctors' Clinical Competencies in the Digital Health Care Era: Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study Among Patients.

Digital technologies have impacted health care delivery globally, and are increasingly being deployed in clinical practice. However, there is limited research on patients' expectations of doctors' clinical competencies when using digital health care technologies (DHTs) in medical care. Understanding these expectations can reveal competency gaps, enhance patient confidence, and contribute to digital innovation initiatives. This study explores patients' perceptions of doctors' use of DHTs in clinical care. Using Singapore as a case study, it examines patients' expectations regarding doctors' communication, diagnosis, and treatment skills when using telemedicine, health apps, wearable devices, electronic health records, and artificial intelligence. Findings were drawn from individual semistructured interviews with patients from outpatient clinics. Participants were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis. Twenty-five participants from different backgrounds and with various chronic conditions participated in the study. They expected doctors to be adept in handling medical data from apps and wearable devices. For telemedicine, participants expected a level of assessment of their medical conditions akin to in-person consultations. In addition, they valued doctors recognizing when a physical examination was necessary. Interestingly, eye contact was appreciated but deemed nonessential by participants across all age bands when electronic health records were used, as they valued the doctor's efficiency more than eye contact. Nonetheless, participants emphasized the need for empathy throughout the clinical encounter regardless of DHT use. Furthermore, younger participants had a greater expectation for DHT use among doctors compared to older ones, who preferred DHTs as a complement rather than a replacement for clinical skills. The former expected doctors to be knowledgeable about the algorithms, principles, and purposes of DHTs such as artificial intelligence technologies to better assist them in diagnosis and treatment. By identifying patients' expectations of doctors amid increasing health care digitalization, this study highlights that while basic clinical skills remain crucial in the digital age, the role of clinicians needs to evolve with the introduction of DHTs. It has also provided insights into how DHTs can be integrated effectively into clinical settings, aligning with patients' expectations and preferences. Overall, the findings offer a framework for high-income countries to harness DHTs in enhancing health care delivery in the digital era.

Impact of high-salt diet in health and diseases and its role in pursuit of cancer immunotherapy by modulating gut microbiome.

Cancer chemotherapy remains an area of concern, as many of the therapies are uncomfortable involving side effects and unpleasant experiences. These factors could further reduce patient's quality of life, and even endanger their life. Many therapeutic strategies have been tried to reduce the unpleasant side effects and increase the treatment effectiveness; however, none have shown to have promising effects. One of the main hindrances to cancer therapy is the escape strategies by tumor cells to the immune attack. Promoting inflammation in the tumor microenvironment is the cornerstone and key therapeutic target in cancer chemotherapy. High-salt diet (HSD) intake, though it has deleterious effects on human health by promoting chronic inflammation, is found to be advantageous in the tumor microenvironment. Studies identified HSD favors an increased abundance of Bifidobacterium species in the tumor environment due to gut barrier alteration, which, in turn, promotes inflammation and favors improved response to cancer chemotherapy. A review of the literature was carried out to find out the effects of an HSD on health and diseases, with special mention of its effect on cancer chemotherapy. Studies emphasized HSD would block the myeloid-derived suppressor cells which will enhance the tumor immunity. Exploration of the precise mechanism of simple HSD regime/ingestion of specific bacterial species as probiotics will be effective and essential to formulate the game-changing cancer chemotherapy. With the modern era of healthcare moving toward precision medicine where the physician can choose the treatment option suitable for the individual, HSD regime/ingestion of specific bacterial species can be considered.

A Comparison Between Polyethylene Exchange and Full Revision for Arthrofibrosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

BackgroundArthrofibrosis is a debilitating postoperative complication and a major cause of patient dissatisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for stiffness after TKA. For cases not amenable to manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), one component or full revision are both suitable options. In a value-based healthcare era, maximizing cost-effectiveness with optimized clinical outcomes for patients remains the ultimate goal. As such, we compared (1) Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR), (2) range of motion (ROM), as well as (3) complication rates, including MUA and lysis of adhesions (LOA), between polyethylene exchange and full component revision for TKA arthrofibrosis. MethodsPatients were queried from an institutional database who underwent revision TKA for arthrofibrosis between January 1, 2015, and April 31, 2021. There were 33 patients who underwent full revision and 16 patients who underwent polyethylene exchange. Demographics and baseline characteristics between the cohorts were analyzed. Postoperative outcomes included MUA, LOA, and re-revision rates as well as KOOS, JR, and extension and flexion ROM at a mean follow-up of 3.8 years. Baseline comorbidities, including age, body mass index, alcohol use, tobacco use, and diabetes, were comparable between the full revision and polyethylene exchange revision cohorts (P > .05). The one and full component revisions had similar preoperative KOOS, JR (43 versus 42, P = .85), and flexion (81 versus 82 degrees, P = .80) versus extension (11 versus 11 degrees, P = .87) ROM. ResultsThe full component revision had higher KOOS, JR (65 versus 55, P = .04), and flexion (102 versus 92 degrees, P = .02), but similar extension (3 versus 3 degrees, P = .80) ROM at final follow-up compared to the polyethylene exchange revision, respectively. The MUA (18.2 versus 18.8%, P = .96) and LOA (2.0 versus 0.0%, P = .32) rates were similar between full component and polyethylene exchange revisions. There was one re-revision (3.0%) for the cohort of patients who initially underwent full revision. There were four full re-revisions (25.0%) and two polyethylene exchange re-revisions (12.5%) performed in the cohort of patients who initially underwent a polyethylene exchange revision. ConclusionsThe full component revision for stiffness after TKA showed favorable KOOS, JR, ROM, and outcomes in comparison to the polyethylene exchange revision. While the optimal treatment for stiffness after TKA is without consensus, this study supports the use of the full component revision when applied to the institutional population at hand. It is imperative that homogeneity exists in preoperative definitions, preoperative baseline patient demographics, ROM and function levels, outcome measures, and preoperative indications, as well as the inclusion of clinical data that assesses complete exchange, single exchange, and tibial insert exchange.
