Oral health - not something to be brushed off. With almost 50% of children in Singapore experiencing tooth decay by the age of 6, a new National University Centre for Oral Health, Singapore (NUCOHS) programme aims to foster a positive association with dental visits among young children and help them feel at ease with the dentist as a trusted figure by engaging with parents and children. "This new programme will help children become accustomed to the dentist’s office and the dental chair. When they start to associate the dentist’s office with a positive experience, it can reduce anxiety the next time they visit a dentist." said Dr Sim Chien Joo, Head, Division of Paediatric Dentistry, NUCOHS.

Novel therapy for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) makes headway. Developed by researchers and clinicians from NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and NUHS, and tested on 17 patients from 2019 to 2023, the CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapy involves genetically altering T-cells – a type of white blood cells that help the body fight infections and diseases, including cancer – in a laboratory to kill cancer cells, before they are infused back into the patient. These CAR T-cells are highly effective at killing cancer cells, often within minutes. Read here for more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gvJyr4-t #OneNUHS #ShapingMedicine
