CONCLUSION: Athletes with PFP, including those with elevated BMI, showed consistent improvement in knee function and symptoms over 6 months following hyaluronic acid-sorbitol injection. These findings support intra-articular hyaluronic acid-sorbitol as a feasible, well-tolerated option for athletes with PFP, regardless of body weight. Controlled trials are needed to confirm the treatment’s contribution, given the single-arm… →

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this preliminary randomized clinical study for recent SA survivors, the video program was associated with immediate reductions in acute stress and pain; the text program was associated with reductions in week 4 pain. These results suggest that the study’s video and text programs were easy-to-administer interventions that can be used in… →

CONCLUSION: This study supported short-term change in Uosm as a predictive biomarker of longer-term kidney function in a non-Japanese cohort; the relationship was not significant in the smaller Japanese cohort. Tolvaptan exhibited a direct treatment effect on the growth of kidney volume in both cohorts of ADPKD patients. →

CONCLUSION: HRV parameters reflected surgery-induced autonomic alterations, with more pronounced and persistent changes observed in patients undergoing PR compared with PM surgery. No clear recovery toward baseline was detected during the 2-day postoperative follow-up, suggesting prolonged autonomic disturbances after thoracic surgery. →

CONCLUSION: At a $150 000 per QALY threshold, webMFT appears cost-effective for improving QALYs among breast cancer survivors. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. →

CONCLUSION: In this cluster randomised trial, drone delivery did not measurably improve most stockout, service readiness, utilisation or client-reported quality outcomes. These findings suggest that drone delivery alone may be insufficient to improve commodity availability where upstream supply-chain constraints remain binding. Prior estimates of drone impact across a broad range of supplies may have been… →

CONCLUSIONS: While frequent HIV testing demonstrates significant associations with increased sexual partner numbers, its role in facilitating consistent use of HIV exposure prevention prophylaxis remains clinically valuable. →
