Cancer and Immune System: A Comprehensive Analysis of the General Patterns of Carcinogenesis
The proposed review reveals the pathogenesis of the malignant tumor process and the patterns of its initiation and development. It was established that the basis of the malignant tumor process is the physiological process of implantation of the embryo in the thickness of the decidual membrane of the uterus and the regulation of the invasive function of the trophoblast, created by evolution.
Virtual Reality in Chronic Pain Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review
Approximately 19% of adults complain of chronic pain, which poses considerable physical, mental, and economic burdens. Conventional chronic pain management includes physical therapy, analgesic drugs, and the avoidance of pain triggers. Metaverse-related technologies such as virtual reality (VR) are promising complementary approaches. This review aimed to systematically analyse the applications of VR in chronic pain management in the context of rehabilitation.
