CONCLUSIONS: We did not find a significant difference in selected EEG parameters between active and sham groups. The possible reasons include choice of tDCS parameters (electrode montage or stimulation duration), and EEG variables selected for evaluation (microstates and functional connectivity). These results are in line with the results of cognitive and clinical assessment. However, the… →

CONCLUSION: Individualized, patient-selected supportive interventions may help maintain key aspects of quality of life and support adherence to endocrine therapy in premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer. These findings support further evaluation in larger, controlled trials. →

CONCLUSION: LHQK is a safe and effective adjunctive TCM therapy for mild MPP in children, offering significant benefits in respiratory symptom alleviation and a favorable safety profile, with a trend toward shorter recovery time, providing a valuable treatment option amid rising antibiotic resistance. →

Background/Objectives: Higher energy and carbohydrate intakes have been hypothesized to enhance resistance training adaptations, yet empirical evidence remains mixed. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether supplemental carbohydrate-energy intake improves muscle hypertrophy and strength. Methods: Twenty resistance-trained men (26.7 ± 4.9 years old, 9.7 ± 6.1 years training experience) completed a quasi-randomized, double-blinded,… →

CONCLUSIONS: 12 weeks of AMS supplementation was associated with improvements in selected functional, mobility, and outcomes in generally healthy adults with self-reported knee discomfort. AMS was also associated with changes in selected circulating biomarkers related to inflammation and cartilage metabolism. These findings should be interpreted as a preliminary, safe, complementary strategy to support joint health… →

Sensitive skin is characterized by hypersensitivity to normal stimuli, and objective diagnostic tools and treatments are still limited. Currently, cosmetics for sensitive skin are developed through the exclusion of known irritants rather than investigation into the underlying mechanisms of sensitivity. In this study, we developed an integrated pipeline combining transcriptome analysis via microneedle-based skin sampling… →

CONCLUSIONS: The culturally adapted, internet-based IBAP-BP program was feasible, safe, and effective compared with the waitlist condition for reducing parental burnout in working mothers, with effects sustained over 9 months, although it did not demonstrate superiority over the active control at the primary end point. Internet-based mindfulness- and compassion-based interventions may offer scalable, equitable options… →

CONCLUSIONS: By relieving pressure on inpatient services, the GT integration into ED workflows represents a scalable strategy for health systems facing demographic shifts and rising demand for age-sensitive care. →
