Clinical effectiveness of early surgical fixation versus cast immobilization for adults with a scaphoid waist fracture: five-year follow-up of the Scaphoid Waist Internal Fixation for Fractures Trial
CONCLUSION: The clinical effectiveness of the two forms of treatment remained similar at five years. The recommendation that adult patients with a fracture of the waist of the scaphoid which is displaced by ≤ 2 mm should be treated inially with immobilization in a cast, followed by early fixation of a nonunion, is further corroborated… →

Metabolic and Neuroenergetic Effects of Intranasal Vitamin C Application in the Human Brain
Background: Compared with normal weight, obese individuals display a variety of deviant measures in neuroenergetic status, food intake behavior, glucose metabolism, and circulating vitamin C levels. A chronically lowered neuroenergetic content is associated with increased food intake and disturbed glucose metabolism in obesity. In turn, a vitamin C deficiency found in obesity may be connected… →

Feasibility and Usability of an mHealth App (mLab+) to Guide Users Through HIV and Syphilis Self-Testing: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The findings support the use of the mLab+ app as a tool for assisting consumers in self-testing for HIV and syphilis. The limitations of the study design warrant further examination outside of clinic settings to better understand the utility of these tools for improving consumer health outcomes. →
