The efficacy of an online exercise intervention for improving depressive symptoms among patients with subthreshold depression in primary care: protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND: Subthreshold depression is common in primary care and is associated with significant healthcare burden. There is emerging evidence for the benefits of Exercise can reduce depressive symptoms among people with diagnosed depression, but there is limited evidence for subthreshold depression in primary care setting. This study aims to examine the efficacy of a 12-week… →

«There’s a lot of unknowns»: a thematic analysis of the experiences of young adults with cancer who died during a psychosocial intervention trial
CONCLUSIONS: YAs who approached end-of-life or saw unexpectedly fast declines in their healthcare trajectory showed many similarities to YAs outside of end-of-life contexts. Some, but not all, participants reflected on goals and challenges related to end-of-life during Bright IDEAs-YA participation. To ensure YAs are holistically understood, and that their priorities both prior to and during… →

Efficacy and safety of combined oral isotretinoin and desloratadine vs. isotretinoin alone in acne vulgaris: a comparative study
A combination of desloratadine (DESL) and oral isotretinoin (ISO) may enhance efficacy and reduce the side effects of ISO, particularly those affecting the skin and mucous membranes. We compared the efficacy and safety of this combination versus ISO alone with new dose regimens in the treatment of patients with acne vulgaris. This was a double-blinded,… →

Combined Treatment With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Enhances Objective and Subjective Reports of Sleep in Patients With Advanced Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Multi-symptom interventions may be necessary for sustained insomnia improvements for people with advanced cancer. The FOCUS intervention is one of the first to demonstrate improvements on self-reported and actigraphic measures of sleep in addition to other symptoms (i.e., worry, uncertainty, depression, fatigue interference, distress) for this population. Future effectiveness studies are warranted given results… →
