research Confirmatory factor analysis of the causal illness attribution scale in Chinese patients with multiple somatic symptoms
The two-factor model fits better for Chinese patients' understanding of illness causes than the original four-factor model.
research Hormonal Therapy for Acne
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.
research Lichen planus
