Background: Trauma exposure prevalence and consequent post-traumatic stress disorder among South African adolescents are significant. Sleep disturbances are among the most frequently reported difficulties faced by those dealing with PTSD. The current study examined the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the South African Adolescence Group Sleep Intervention on PTSD symptom severity and sleep disturbance.Method: Sixty-one… →
CONCLUSIONS: The current trial suggests that VPL-based digital therapeutics may induce clinically meaningful visual improvements in patients with poststroke VFDs. Yet, between-group differences in therapeutic efficacy were not found as NV-C training exhibited unexpected improvement comparable to NV training, possibly due to learning transfer effects. →
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in men and leads to the second most common cause of cancer related mortality in men. Early detection of PCa allows for a potentially curative intervention. Most men will live over a decade from the time of their PCa diagnosis. Thus, treatments must balance curative… →
