Why a Stiffer Colon May Signal Colorectal Cancer: Early Warning Signs to Watch For
Understanding the Link Between a Stiffer Colon and Colorectal Cancer Recent research is shedding light on a surprising development: a stiffer colon might serve as an early warning sign for colorectal cancer. This tissue hardening is thought to arise from years of low-grade inflammation that gradually alters the colon’s lining and surrounding tissue. While a…

Factors Influencing Malnutrition in Patients with Heart Failure: A Scoping Review
Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent and progressive condition characterized by the heart’s reduced ability to pump blood effectively. Alongside other clinical challenges, malnutrition emerges as a common and clinically relevant complication in HF patients. Malnutrition in this population is not merely a consequence of reduced intake; it results from a complex interplay of…
