CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this economic evaluation of implementation strategies for AKI prevention, virtual learning collaborative with automated surveillance reporting was the economically preferred intervention and was estimated to decrease AKI likelihood, permanent kidney disease, and their associated costs after undergoing cardiac catheterization. These results may be generalizable to other endovascular procedures and practice-changing protocols… →

CONCLUSION: Occlusal splint wear can gradually alter the balance of occlusal contact and potentially reduce its therapeutic effectiveness, highlighting the importance of using wear-resistant materials. Our findings indicate that digital manufacturing processes provide advantages due to their long-term clinical outcomes. →

CONCLUSION: Ajwa dates have an adjuvant effect on improving QoL and reducing serum TNF-α levels in patients with schizophrenia treated with risperidone. →

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a major public health problem. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been shown to improve ischemic limb conditions in patients with CLTI. However, the possible mechanisms of these benefits require further understanding. A total of 37 atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease patients with CLTI (Fontaine class III or IV) who were not… →

CONCLUSIONS: This study introduces a novel methodology for categorizing patients with cancer based on physical activity using step count data. Although significant improvements were noted in the AWG, particularly in QOL and specific physical metrics, differences in 6-month change between the AWG and IWG were statistically insignificant. These findings highlight the potential of digital interventions… →

BACKGROUND: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is characterized by uncontrolled gaming behavior, leading to emotional distress, neglect of academic or life responsibilities, and damage to interpersonal relationships, all of which have serious negative impacts on individuals and society. IGD has been associated with neuropsychological impairments, especially executive function deficits, and emotional difficulties. Mindfulness interventions have been… →

Primary axillary hyperhidrosis (PAH) is a challenging condition characterized by excessive underarm sweating. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved onabotulinum toxin A (OnaBTX-A, Botox^(®), Allergan Inc, USA) as the only botulinum toxin treatment for severe axillary hyperhidrosis, and it has demonstrated positive results. Recently, the off-label use of letibotulinum toxin A (LetiBTX-A, Hugel^(®),… →

Atrophic acne scarring is a prevalent problem that has been treated with a variety of procedures, each with various degrees of success. For better results, combined regimens of treatment are recommended. Our aim was to compare the efficacy of topical insulin against topical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an adjunct treatment to fractional CO2 laser for… →

Post-acne erythema (PAE) is a common consequence of acne vulgaris, often leading to significant psychological distress and social impairment. While Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) has been proven as a non-invasive option for reducing erythema, the addition of adjunctive therapies may enhance treatment outcomes. To evaluate the effects of intradermal tranexamic acid (TXA) injections on the… →
