What Interruptions Say About Your Organizational Culture
Mark Airs/Ikon Images Leaders tend to talk about culture in abstract terms: values, norms, trust, belonging, and the like. But employees watch for the moments that show how culture actually manifests. During meetings, who gets interrupted? Employees notice whose sentences are cut short, redirected, or quietly overtaken — and whose ideas are allowed full expression.… →

Assessing stigma and perceptions of respectful care in Malawi’s index case testing program: Findings from a cluster randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: The enhanced training package did not improve HCW or client stigma-related outcomes. Further research is needed to reduce HCW and client stigma and improve respectful care. →

Photobiomodulation versus stabilization splint, both combined with self-management, for acute temporomandibular myalgia: 48-week outcomes of a partially randomized controlled study
CONCLUSIONS: Over 48 weeks, PBM + SM and OS + SM produced comparable improvements in pain and maximum painless mouth opening, with no significant between-group difference in masticatory muscle tender points at week 48. →

Effects of a Saccharomyces uvarum Cell-Based Preparation on Gut Microbial Ecology and Metabolic Activity in Adults Without Diagnosed Gastrointestinal Disease: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Crossover Pilot Study
Background/Objectives: Yeast-based probiotic candidates are increasingly investigated as potential modulators of gut ecology, although evidence in healthy individuals remains limited. This randomized, single-blind, crossover study primarily evaluated the tolerability of ATECREM Serius containing Saccharomyces uvarum SERIUS strain (>10^(10) CFU/g) and explored its effect on human gut microbiota. Methods: Forty-four volunteers completed the crossover intervention consisting… →

Effect of Early Tourniquet Release on Hemolysis in Emergency Department Phlebotomy: The TOURNI-ED Randomized Trial
Background and Objectives: Hemolysis is the most common preanalytical error in emergency department samples and can compromise diagnostic reliability. Evidence on tourniquet-release timing under standardized pressure is limited. We assessed whether initiating cuff deflation when blood enters the first tube and completing it as that tube fills reduces hemolysis. Materials and Methods: In a single-center,… →

Point-of-Care Ultrasound of Upper Airway Changes During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background and Objectives: Elevated endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure impairs tracheal mucosal perfusion and may contribute to upper airway soft-tissue changes. During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the cuff usually remains inflated although ventilation is suspended, yet the relevance of cuff pressure management during CPB is unclear. We compared two ETT cuff pressure strategies during CPB (0… →

Longitudinal Gut Microbiota Changes in Women with Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Undergoing a Lifestyle Intervention
Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is closely associated with obesity, yet the gut microbiota remains poorly characterized in this population. We longitudinally evaluated gut microbiota profiles in 48 women with overweight or obesity and BCRL who were randomized to either a multimodal lifestyle intervention combining an energy-restricted Mediterranean-style diet and exercise (n = 28) or control… →
