Comparative effects of caffeine and paraxanthine on rowing performance and sleep quality: a randomized crossover study
CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the combined ingestion of caffeine and paraxanthine elicited the most pronounced performance benefits, while paraxanthine alone did not demonstrate clear standalone ergogenic efficacy at the administered dose. However, paraxanthine was associated with better subjective sleep outcomes compared to caffeine, suggesting that its potential value may be related more to tolerability… →

Effectiveness of virtual reality technology combined with conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation training in postpartum myofascial pelvic pain syndrome: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: The integration of virtual reality technology with conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy has the potential to improve the relaxation capacity of fast-twitch muscle fibers within the pelvic floor muscles. However, it does not seem to offer any benefits in increasing pelvic floor muscle thickness or in alleviating myofascial pelvic pain. →

Significant Incidental Findings in the National Lung Screening Trial and Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary Cancer
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This cohort study found that cancer SIFs were associated with an increased risk of an extrapulmonary cancer diagnosis in the year following an LDCT lung cancer screening examination. These findings suggest that certain SIFs should be evaluated as potential indicators of undiagnosed cancers. →

Two-Year Outcomes of Less Invasive Surfactant Administration Among Preterm Neonates: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial of preterm infants supported with CPAP, early caffeine administration plus LISA did not reduce the incidence of death or moderate to severe NDI noted on the BSID. Infants who received LISA were more likely to have a fine motor domain score in the… →
