The disease frequently results in discomfort, edema, and stiffness, which can impair movement, make everyday tasks challenging, and even render a person disabled. Since osteoarthritis is presently incurable, researchers are working hard to find new treatments. Adult Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most common stem cells used in the therapy of OA in clinical trials. They are simple to extract for researchers from bone marrow or adipose. Depending on the kind of tissue that contains them, MSCs can develop into cartilage, bone, muscle, tendon, ligaments, or fat. For this reason, scientists are researching MSCs in OA stem cell therapies. According to research, MSCs produce substances that promote healing and reduce pain. According to some research, they may aid in reducing pain, swelling, and loss of motion when injected into a joint. Researchers conduct an examination of articles that are in accordance with the issue to be studied. Articles used in literature review are obtained through the database of international journal providers through PubMed, we investigated clinical studies and discussed what happened in these clinical studies and the extent of the effectiveness of stem cells in treatment of osteoarthritis. Different patients have responded differently to this therapy. While some people have experienced pain others have not. Research is still required to determine whether stem cell therapies for OA are effective and why some people respond to the therapy more favorably than others.","PeriodicalId":245634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Health Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136300710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review employed narrative synthesis, and the documentary method and content analysis were used via systematic review to analyze the data. The review of literature suggested that digital technologies have the potential to improve healthcare delivery, enhance patient outcomes, and increase access to healthcare services. The studies reviewed in this article demonstrate that digital transformation in healthcare can lead to improved efficiency, reduced costs, increased patient satisfaction, and better patient outcomes. The use of digital technologies such as telemedicine, electronic health records, wearables, and mobile health applications has already started to revolutionize healthcare delivery. However, the adoption of these technologies is not without its challenges, including privacy and security concerns, regulatory barriers, and resistance from healthcare providers. It is therefore important for healthcare organizations and policymakers to address these challenges and implement strategies to ensure the effective integration of digital technologies into the healthcare system. Overall, the findings suggest that the digital transformation of healthcare is a critical area of research that has the potential to significantly transform the healthcare industry and improve health outcomes for individuals and communities.","PeriodicalId":245634,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Health Science and Technology","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115932423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The absence of telomerase expression and the lack of an immortal phenotype in normal adult tissues suggest that telomerase is a prospective therapeutic target for the treatment of a variety of tumor forms. At every cell division, telomeres will shrink if telomerase is not active. Apoptosis, cell senescence, and chromosomal instability are initiated when the telomeres become critically short. Telomeres are stabilized in the majority of rapidly expanding cancers by reactivating telomerase. In numerous tumor forms, it has been demonstrated that telomerase inhibition inhibits the development of cancer cells. Telomerase inhibitors have been discovered over the past 10 years as a result of substantial basic research into the mechanisms regulating telomeres, which may offer a potent, nearly universal cancer treatment approach. A short-chain oligonucleotide called imetelstat (GRN163L, Geron Corporation) has a high affinity and specificity for the RNA component of telomerase's template region (hTR or hTERC).

The aim of this study was to explore Chinese patients’ and their family caregivers’ perceptions of care quality in Australian hospitals. A qualitative descriptive study design was used in this study. Adult Chinese patients born in mainland China and who had an acute and critical care admission were recruited from metropolitan hospitals in South Australia in 2019 using the snowball method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in Mandarin. Data were transcribed verbatim in simplified Chinese for thematic analysis. Results were translated to English and checked by a bilingual team member.Ten participants participated in the study. Four main themes were identified from the data analysis: 1) the feeling of being disoriented in the ICU; 2) desire for comfort; 3) lack of engagement in treatment and care plans; and 4) lack of participation in quality improvement feedback to the care system. Chinese people have unique cultural beliefs, communication patterns, and health-seeking behaviors.
