CONCLUSIONS: Regular BE markedly improved muscle function and increased muscle mass in older adults with sarcopenia, indicating a safe and effective exercise for sarcopenia management. BE, which was tailored using the short physical performance battery assessment, offers a valuable approach to help prevent and treat sarcopenia in older adults. Future research should investigate the long-term… →

CONCLUSION: Portal use among patients with cancer varies by sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Findings suggest a need for targeted interventions to promote equitable use among under-represented groups and promote portal-based PRO completion for patients with higher symptom burden. →

CONCLUSION: The use of prolgolimab in locally advanced dMMR/MSI CRC is associated with high rates of pCR and cCR, allowing for further exploration of organ-sparing approaches in these patients. →

CONCLUSION: Dry needling and kinesio taping are effective, safe, and clinically feasible interventions for the management of TMD. Dry needling, in particular, appears more effective in reducing pain and improving function. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating conservative physical therapy approaches within multidisciplinary TMD treatment protocols. →

CONCLUSION: Core stabilization exercises may improve oxidative balance and endothelial function in patients with hypertension. →

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with HR^(+)HER2^(-) ABC showed impaired cognitive function at initial diagnosis compared to cancer-free controls. During first-line endocrine treatment with aromatase inhibitors, cognitive function declined in a small group of patients, regardless of the addition of CDK4/6i. →

CONCLUSIONS: Although L. rhamnosus GG did not significantly affect TNF-α levels, its influence on lymphocyte and cytokine levels warrants further investigation through larger trials. →

CONCLUSION: The vaginal microbiota, particularly the dominant bacteria, may influence treatment efficacy and recurrence rates. In the treatment of severe vulvovaginal candidiasis, ketoconazole suppositories are not inferior to miconazole nitrate vaginal capsules in clinical efficacy and have a lower long-term recurrence rate. →

The study aimed to compare the efficacy of intense pulsed light (IPL), 0.05% cyclosporine A (CsA) eye drops, and 3% diquafosol sodium (DQS) eye drops in treating moderate to severe dry eye. A cohort of 180 patients diagnosed with moderate to severe dry eye was enrolled in the Department of Ophthalmology at Quzhou People’s Hospital… →
