ObjectiveThe study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal intervention on urodynamic outcomes, urinary incontinence severity, and pelvic floor muscle strength in individuals with overactive bladder after incomplete spinal cord injury.MethodsA single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 74 male participants diagnosed with overactive bladder and incomplete spinal cord injury. Participants were randomly assigned… →

CONCLUSIONS: The absence of significant improvement over 2 decades for many patients is alarming and highlights the limitations of current treatment approaches in modifying the functional course of these patients. →

For the fifth year in a row, MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have assembled an international panel of AI experts that includes academics and practitioners to help us understand how responsible artificial intelligence is being implemented across organizations worldwide. In previous posts this year, we have explored artificial intelligence’s impact on… →
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with AHF, 24-h istaroxime infusion was associated with a significantly higher probability of dyspnea improvement compared with placebo through 24 h, with results being numerically more pronounced among patients with worse dyspnea at baseline. →

CONCLUSIONS: In this exploratory phase II trial, a multidisciplinary, mHealth-based multimodal rehabilitation program was associated with better preservation of handgrip strength, muscle mass, and nutritional status, as well as lower rates of certain treatment toxicities, compared with SC. However, definitive conclusions are limited by the open-label design, heterogeneity of tumor types, and short follow-up. Larger,… →

CONCLUSIONS: Perioperative multistrain probiotics significantly enhanced CT-based bone mineralization at 12 weeks, while exploratory secondary findings suggested earlier functional recovery and improved radiographic healing. These findings warrant further evaluation of probiotics as a potential adjunct to standard fracture care. →

Molecular residual disease (MRD), detected through circulating tumor DNA, has emerged as a promising biomarker for surveillance in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following curative-intent resection. Here we report the MRD analysis from the phase 3 EVIDENCE trial, which includes patients with stage II-IIIA resected EGFR-mutated NSCLC who have received either adjuvant… →

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a preservative-free tafluprost/timolol maleate fixed-dose combination compared with preservative-free tafluprost monotherapy in Chinese patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). Methods: This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled clinical trial conducted across 25 centers, including the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University, from January… →

CONCLUSION: Findings provide translational evidence that alcohol is associated with multisystem biomarker changes relevant to chronic disease and that alcohol-related biomarker perturbations vary by dose and chronicity. →

CONCLUSION: Initiating febuxostat at a dose of 10 mg/day with gradual titration demonstrates a superior safety profile by effectively reducing early acute flares without compromising long-term urate control, which is particularly advantageous for high-risk cohorts, including obese patients. →
