CONCLUSIONS: Messages targeting known barriers to cervical cancer screening were perceived as more effective than a control message. These messages could increase cervical cancer screening rates if used in interventions at scale. →

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, prospective use of TEWL as a stopping criterion reduced anaphylaxis rates during OFC in children with peanut allergy, suggesting use of TEWL could make OFC safer and more accessible. Replicating this study in a larger, multicenter population is a reasonable next step. →

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cluster randomized trial of patients with acute cerebrovascular events, quality improvement approaches increased OSA testing. These results suggest that health care systems can improve the delivery of guideline-concordant care for patients with acute ischemic stroke and TIA by delivering inpatient sleep medicine services. →

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this nonrandomized clinical trial, the rate of toxic effects was low, and treatments were tolerable up to 38 Gy. Delaying surgery more than 9 months after sPBI with endocrine therapy was associated with increased pCR and npCR (>90%), while higher doses were not. These findings support further investigation of sPBI as… →

This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of regional, general, and combined aerobic training on plasma lipolytic markers and subcutaneous fat reduction in obese women with abdominal or gluteofemoral fat accumulation. Sixty women (age 25-50 years; BMI ≥30 kg/m²) were assigned to general aerobic training (GATG; treadmill/cycling), regional aerobic training (RTG; targeted abdominal or lower-body… →

Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) affects 12.2 million children globally. Integrating a water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) kit in outpatient SAM treatment can improve recovery rates by preventing WASH-related diseases and complications, but its cost at scale remains unknown. This study estimates the cost of integrating a WASH kit, composed of chlorine-based water treatment, safe water… →

CONCLUSION: The foam toothbrush demonstrated superior efficacy in improving oral hygiene, particularly in children with the hyperactive type of ADHD. →

CONCLUSIONS: The MULU technique, based on anatomical guidance via the median umbilical ligament, is a safe and effective method for abdominal entry. It offers faster access and may reduce the risk of major complications, making it a viable alternative to conventional techniques. →

BACKGROUND: Second-generation antipsychotics are widely used to treat patients with bipolar spectrum disorders and effectively manage mood symptoms but can often cause substantial weight gain and other metabolic alterations that elevate long-term risks of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality. Metformin has been shown to be safe and efficacious for ameliorating weight gain but has not… →
