CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cluster randomized trial of a CDSS for CKD in primary care, both the intervention and control groups demonstrated comparable improvements in 6-month outcomes, with no independent effect of the CDSS detected. →

CONCLUSION: In this small pilot study, TACE combined with lenvatinib and envafolimab was associated with encouraging antitumor activity and a relatively high conversion-to-resection rate, with an acceptable safety profile. However, the limited sample size and single-arm design preclude definitive causal conclusions, and gastrointestinal bleeding emerged as an important risk. These preliminary findings suggest the need… →

Evaluating treatment acceptability is crucial, as higher acceptability is associated with better adherence and lower dropout rates, a particular concern in treating youth with disruptive behavior disorders. This study built upon previous randomized controlled trials that demonstrated the efficacy of treatment for youth with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) by comparing the acceptability of Collaborative and… →

Transdiagnostic psychotherapies have been gaining in popularity due in part to their hypothesized ability to address multiple emotional disorders via a single protocol. However, to date, most randomized clinical trials of these treatments have focused on patients with anxiety disorders, or in mixed samples, limiting their use in other diagnoses. The present study compared Transdiagnostic… →

Despite posttraumatic stress disorder’s (PTSD) significant burden in China, accessible and effective treatments remain limited. This pilot randomized controlled trial examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for PTSD in China and explored whether adding a mindfulness-based app (MBA) improved insomnia outcomes. Forty-six adults meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of… →

CONCLUSIONS: Latina and non-Hispanic White participants did not differ in weight loss. However, our findings regarding social network involvement and change in BMI show the importance of considering social network processes in weight loss among breast cancer survivors. These findings buttress existing research suggesting the benefits of social support, particularly within specific cultural frameworks, while… →

Matt Chinworth/theispot.com Executives tracking the latest news about quantum computing might conclude that with technical milestones still to be reached, the prudent approach is to watch and wait before investing. But that overlooks what other, bolder companies recognize: Quantum computing is an enabling technology, and user organizations have a critical role to play in shaping… →
CONCLUSION: Denosumab, alendronate and zoledronic acid significantly and similarly reduced BTMs, increased BMD and TBS in men with osteoporosis, whether the gonadal function of patients was normal or decreased. Previous anti-bone resorption therapy may partially diminish the efficacy of denosumab. →

Insomnia and anxiety are highly prevalent and often comorbid in older adults. Although cognitive behavioural therapy is the first-line treatment for insomnia, few interventions simultaneously address both conditions. Furthermore, access remains limited by provider availability and high costs. To address these gaps, we developed an online CBT programme for insomnia and anxiety (eCBT+). This randomised… →
