항암치료는 암세포를 직접 공격하는 강력한 무기지만 동시에 정상 세포와 면역세포에도 큰 손상을 남긴다. 이 때문에 많은 환자들이 치료 이후 극심한 피로, 잦은 감염, 체력 저하를 호소한다. 암을 이겨낸 뒤에도 또 다른 고비가 찾아오는 이유다. 전문가들은 “항암치료 후 회복의 핵심은 면역력”이라고 입을 모은다. 단순히 몸을 보강하는 차원을 넘어 약해진 면역 체계는 재발 방지와 합병증 예방에도 직결된다. 따라서 치료가 끝난 환자에게 있어 면역력 회복은 곧 생존 전략이라 할 수 있다. 특히 어떤 음식을 어떻게 섭취하느냐는 회복 속도와 삶의 질을 크게 좌우한다. 균형 잡힌 식단 속에 면역 강화 식품을 적절히 포함시키는 것이 치

A ruptured aneurysm can cause a subarachnoid hemorrhage—a severe form of brain bleeding—that is fatal in about 30% of cases. Even among survivors, roughly half face lifelong neurological damage.Brain aneurysms typically develop at arterial junctions, where blood flow splits and exerts concentrated pressure, weake

[Physician's Column] By Jun-su Park, Director of Plusmi Dermatology ClinicEnlarged pores can make skin appear rough and uneven, diminishing its natural radiance. Once pores stretch, they rarely return to their original size, making consistent care essential to prevent further damage. Accumulated debris and blackheads within pores create a vicious cycle, exacerbating their expansion. To maintain healthy pores, carefully reviewing and adjusting daily habits is essential.First, avoid frequent exposure to high heat. Regular visits to saunas or washing the face with hot water can overstretch pores.
