Modified Borg Scale (mBorg), the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and the Dyspnea- 12 Scale (D- 12): cross-scale comparison assessing the development of dyspnea in early-stage lung cancer patients
CONCLUSION: This study highlights interscale concordance and key contributors to breathlessness in operable early-stage lung cancer patients. All three scales validly measure dyspnea, with the D-12 and NRS offering a holistic assessment by including affective-dyspnea scores. →

Trial and Participant Characteristics of a Home-Visiting Diabetes Intervention: The Together Overcoming Diabetes Study
Background: American Indians (AIs) endure the most severe health inequities in the nation, including disproportionately high rates of Type 2 diabetes (T2D). We describe baseline characteristics for AI participants enrolled in a culturally grounded, intergenerational, home-based T2D preventive intervention called Together Overcoming Diabetes (TOD). Methods: This community-based participatory research collaboration between five tribal nations and… →

Weight loss in MASLD restores the balance of liver fatty acid sources
BACKGROUNDLipogenesis contributes substantially to the pathological accumulation of intrahepatic triacylglycerol (IHTG) in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Since hepatic lipogenesis is highly sensitive to energy intake, we hypothesized that mechanisms of MASLD regression induced by weight loss would be driven by a marked reduction in the lipogenic pathway.METHODSOverweight adults with high liver fat (HighLF;… →

Evaluation of scoring systems and hematological parameters in the severity stratification of early-phase acute pancreatitis
CONCLUSION: Independent risk factors for developing SAP include CRP(48), Ca^(2+), and PNI(48). CTSI, BISAP, and the combination of PNI(48) and the Ranson score can act as reliable predictors of SAP. →

A prospective study comparing sleep quality using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at 8 weeks after robotic-assisted versus conventional total knee arthroplasty: a single-center study
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is crucial for alleviating pain and improving the quality of life in patients with end-stage knee arthritis. Postoperative sleep disturbances are common and can persist for months following the surgery, potentially hindering the overall rehabilitation process and the quality of life. Robotic-assisted TKA (RATKA) offers greater precision and less invasiveness than… →

Efficacy of acupuncture at pain-sensitive acupoints for diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D): protocol of a multicentre, randomised, sham-controlled trial
INTRODUCTION: While recent research suggests that acupuncture may offer benefits to individuals with diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), high-quality studies are scarce in this area. We intend to investigate the efficacy and safety of individualised sensitised acupuncture in IBS-D. →

Molecular monitoring versus standard clinical care in younger adults with acute myeloid leukaemia: results from the UK NCRI AML17 and AML19 randomised, controlled, phase 3 trials
BACKGROUND: In patients with acute myeloid leukaemia treated with curative intent, the detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) generally confers a poor prognosis. This study aimed to identify whether altering treatment based on MRD results can improve survival. →

Potential Harms of Feedback After Web-Based Depression Screening: Secondary Analysis of Negative Effects in the Randomized Controlled DISCOVER Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that feedback after web-based depression screening is not associated with negative effects such as misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and deterioration in depression severity or in emotional response to symptoms. However, it cannot be ruled out that nontailored feedback may increase the risk of deterioration in suicidal ideation. Robust prospective research on negative effects… →
