CONCLUSION: This pilot study establishes the feasibility and tolerability of RART in patients with adhesive capsulitis and provides preliminary, exploratory evidence of beneficial effects on pain and range of motion. Given the underpowered final sample size (post hoc power: 68%-70%), these findings should be interpreted with caution and require confirmation in adequately powered future trials. →

CONCLUSIONS: This study will provide relevant evidence on the effect of remote monitoring in individuals receiving LTOT on HRQoL, dyspnea, health status, anxiety and depression, and engagement with data entry through a mobile app. →

CONCLUSIONS: This protocol is designed to provide robust comparative data on manual therapy approaches for SIJ dysfunction. Findings may guide physiotherapy practice by informing evidence-based recommendations for optimal management strategies. →

CONCLUSIONS: SMS was associated with significant reductions in hospital care and total health care utilization costs during the 6-month postdischarge period compared with TAU. These findings support the integration of cost-effective and scalable digital interventions into routine psychiatric discharge pathways to help improve system efficiency in publicly funded health systems. →

CONCLUSIONS: In outpatient neurology practices, pMRI images demonstrated high clinical concordance with sMRI for identifying the presence or absence of structural brain abnormalities and were strongly preferred by patients. These findings support the use of pMRI as a practical point-of-care imaging tool for neurology patients, enabling timely access to structural neuroimaging during the clinical encounter. →

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in under-resourced populations. Although nutritional interventions are important for CVD prevention, their outcomes are commonly evaluated using conventional clinical and behavioral indicators, which may not fully capture early molecular responses. In this study, we developed the BIOCARD framework, an exploratory fecal multi-omics platform… →

Upper respiratory tract scleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease that primarily affects the nose but may involve any part of the upper respiratory tract. The mainstay of treatment is prolonged antibiotic therapy. This prospective comparative study included 90 adults with upper respiratory tract scleroma treated at Minia University Hospital, Egypt, between September 2024 and August… →

CONCLUSION: Modifying the standard treat-to-target strategy, by stratifying the initial DMARD according to autoantibody status combined with rapidly intensifying therapy based on early treatment response, did not result in superior clinical outcomes. →

CONCLUSIONS: The commonly used skin antiseptic chlorhexidine gluconate with isopropyl alcohol demonstrated noninferior image quality compared with ultrasound gel and may represent a more economical alternative for ultrasound-guided interventions, with the potential to reduce infectious complications. →
