CONCLUSIONS: Participants’ self-efficacy, specifically, for scheduling PA, positive affect and social support for PA adoption and intervention engagement merit future examination. →

CONCLUSION: The AI-enabled personalized teaching model may represent a feasible and effective approach for cardiovascular surgery education. It was associated with higher theoretical examination scores, better critical thinking disposition, higher scores in several dimensions of simulated clinical interview performance, and high learner satisfaction. Further studies are needed to confirm its broader applicability and long-term educational… →

CONCLUSIONS: A primary healthcare-integrated, falls prevention programme in rural China can improve health outcomes in older adults whilst reducing costs, providing a scalable solution for resource-constrained settings. →

Pain is a major contributor to disability in cervical dystonia (CD) and may persist despite improvement in abnormal head posture after botulinum toxin treatment. Whether increasing the dose of Neubotulinum toxin type A (Neu-BoNT-A) provides additional analgesic benefit without compromising safety remains uncertain. In this prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, two-period crossover trial, 50 adults with… →

CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to test an app-based escalating variable-ratio CM schedule for promoting sustained daily pain self-monitoring. Findings indicate a large-scale RCT may be warranted. Establishing a valid method for improving self-monitoring adherence has broad research implications. Future studies will explore other target behaviors and examine relationships between pain symptom severity and… →

CONCLUSIONS: Pre-emptive low-dose ASA attenuated pain responses to sleep restriction, particularly widespread pain and impaired central pain inhibition, consistent with modulation of nociplastic-like pain mechanisms. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying this effect of ASA could help inform the development of targeted strategies for individuals who experience recurrent short or disrupted sleep and may be at increased… →

CONCLUSION: Epley- and 360° maneuvers with an MRC demonstrated similar treatment efficacy across objective and patient-reported outcomes, suggesting flexibility in the maneuver choice. Further research should investigate optimization of treatment protocols and long-term follow-up regarding recurrence patterns. →

CONCLUSION: Acceptance and commitment therapy reduced FoP and psychological distress in this population, with a delayed effect on psychological flexibility. These findings support integrating structured, group-based ACT into routine care during particle therapy. Multicenter trials with longer follow-up are needed. →

CONCLUSIONS: Heat-sensitive moxibustion self-management can reduce systolic blood pressure, improve antihypertensive effective rate, and alleviate hypertension-related symptoms and quality of life in community patients with essential hypertension, with favorable safety and compliance. These findings suggest that heat-sensitive moxibustion can be promoted as an adjunctive management strategy for essential hypertension in community settings. →
