«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… →

Usability and acceptability of ambulatory monitoring in undiagnosed syncope: insights from the ASPIRED-Q qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: An immediate, enhanced (14-day) ambulatory ECG monitoring patch was positively received by patients and offered healthcare professionals an acceptable route for monitoring emergency department patients with unexplained syncope. However, future use should be controlled using standardised pathways to prevent inappropriate use. →

Effectiveness and satisfaction of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for children on anxiety, depression, and internet addiction in adolescents: Study protocol for a randomized control trial
Adolescents with Internet addiction (IA) frequently encounter elevated levels of anxiety and depression, which subsequently results in the perpetuation of their addiction behaviors. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for children (MBCT-C) is an adapted version of traditional MBCT that targets emotional problems in children. The present study aimed to provide a framework for the implementation of a… →
