The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.
Older adults are at increased risk of various chronic diseases where inadequate levels of vitamins and minerals may play a significant role, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, and cancer. Older adults are increasingly more susceptible to vitamin and mineral
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in Europe. The geographical variation of incidence demonstrates how environmental factors, chiefly dietary habits, play a major role in this disease. Convincing evidence suggests that risk of CRC is increased by red meat and
The oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.
Cells continuously produce free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) as
The combination of PTX and vit E appears as the standard treatment of radiation induced fibrosis. Synergism between PTX and Vit E is likely, as treatment with each drug alone is ineffective. This combination was also positively evaluated in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis, radiation-induced
Allergic asthma (AA) is the most commonly encountered respiratory disease in children and adults in the United States and is a leading cause of morbidity worldwide. Among the most disruptive expressions of disease in AA is acute asthma exacerbation. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) lists ambient

Adjuvants have been in use for many decades to enhance the effects of vaccines on the host immune system, yet we know very little on how they actually work. Better understanding of the mechanism by which adjuvants activate the immune system will enable us to develop better and safer vaccines as well
The consumption of tomatoes and tomato products has been associated with a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and some types of cancer. Tomatoes and tomato products provide a good source of antioxidants (lipophilic and hydrophilic). The major tomato antioxidants comprise lycopene,
Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer deaths among both genders in Hong Kong. In 2005, primary lung cancer accounted for 33% and 25% of all cancer deaths in men and women respectively. On average, there are around 4,000 new cases of lung cancer each year. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
