Background and Objectives: Meniscus injuries, particularly Grade I and II, are common knee injuries that can affect pain, joint function and quality of life, but the effectiveness of non-invasive treatments like Kinesiology taping (KT) in this population remains limited. This pilot randomized controlled trial aimed to explore the short-term effects of KT on pain, fear… →

CONCLUSIONS: In this trial, melatonin did not significantly reduce the incidence of delirium. The lower-than-expected numbers of outcome events and resultant early termination for futility limited the study’s power. As a result, the study findings should be interpreted with caution, and further research is necessary before definitive recommendations can be made. →

CONCLUSIONS: Readily scalable in primary care and varied-resource settings, our WeChat mini-program-based intervention extends beyond weight loss to reduce hepatic steatosis and improve metabolic parameters, thereby addressing the critical gap in targeted MAFLD management in China with a low-cost model for high-burden populations. Nevertheless, larger future studies are needed to confirm these findings with greater… →

CONCLUSION: Fully guided implant surgery outperformed other techniques in accuracy, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. These findings support fully guided, prosthetically driven workflows as a preferred option for partially edentulous patients, particularly in cases requiring high precision. →

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the use of PEth as an objective measure of heavy drinking days in a clinical setting. Further research is needed to validate these findings in larger cohorts. →

This randomized controlled trial evaluates an innovative interdisciplinary teaching model co-led by radiologists and vascular surgeons within China’s standardized residency training program. Forty trainees were randomized into two groups: one receiving collaborative teaching, which included joint lectures, radiologist-attended ward rounds, and interdisciplinary case conferences; and the other undergoing traditional vascular single-discipline training. The experimental group… →

CONCLUSION: PPV caused an early postoperative decrease in choroidal perfusion, which was significant in the cold irrigation group. However, there was no significant difference between cooled and room-temperature irrigation solutions. →
