Effectiveness of Nurse-Led Psychoeducation on Knowledge and Psychological Distress in Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiological Imaging: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: Nurse-led psychoeducation effectively improved knowledge and reduced anxiety in patients with cancer undergoing radiological imaging. Integrating such interventions into pre-imaging protocols can enhance patient preparedness and reduce psychological distress. Further research should explore the long-term effects and adaptability of this intervention in diverse healthcare settings. →

MP-SfM: Monocular Surface Priors for Robust Structure-from-Motion
MP-SfM redefines classical Structure-from-Motion by tightly integrating monocular depth and surface normal priors into incremental SfM, enabling robust 3D reconstruction from sparse, unstructured image collections. Key Highlights: Monocular Depth + Surface Normal Fusion – Augments traditional SfM with priors from off-the-shelf deep networks (e.g., Metric3D-v2, DSINE), eliminating the need for three-view overlap. Two-View Track Reconstruction – Enables… →

Kinesio Taping, Wrist Splinting, and Epicondylitis Bandaging in Managing Lateral Epicondylitis: A Prospective Comparative Study
BACKGROUND We assessed the treatment outcomes of patients assigned by sequential randomization to 3 groups: epicondylitis bandaging, wrist dorsiflexion splinting, and kinesio taping. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-four patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were included in the study and randomly divided into 3 groups (n=18): epicondylitis bandage, wrist dorsiflexion splint, and kinesio tape. Patients were evaluated… →

Internal drainage of subretinal fluid during scleral buckling with 27-Gauge wide angle viewing system and flute needle for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
CONCLUSION: Although limited by the small sample size, this study suggests that internal drainage of subretinal fluid during scleral buckling with 27-gauge WAVS and flute needle showed advantages superior to external drainage of subretinal fluid in scleral buckling surgery, including increased efficiency and decreased amount of SRF, shortened duration of persistent subretinal fluid, and reduced… →

Prognostic value of plasma biomarkers for informing clinical trial design in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated baseline plasma NfL predicted more rapid clinical decline and MRI volume loss. Furthermore, increasing plasma NfL concentration over time was associated with worsening on the CDR-SB. Plasma NfL is an easily accessible biomarker that may enhance the design of clinical trials in mild-to-moderate AD. →

Efficacy of photobiomodulation for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in pediatric patients with hematologic cancers: a randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSION: PBM appears to be a safe and effective approach for the prevention of MTX-induced OM in pediatric patients with hematologic cancers. Additionally, PDT using ICG and a low-level laser demonstrates promising results in treating OM lesions. Therefore, these findings highlight the efficacy of PBM for managing MTX-induced OM in this patient group. →
