Rapid Brain Adaptation to Hearing Amplification: A Randomized Crossover Trial of Personal Sound Amplification Products
Understanding speech in noise is a common challenge for older adults, often requiring increased listening effort that can deplete cognitive resources and impair higher-order functions. Hearing aids are the gold standard intervention for hearing loss, but cost and accessibility barriers have driven interest in alternatives such as Personal Sound Amplification Products (PSAPs). While PSAPs are…

Insights Into How Digital Health Interventions Shape Outcomes for Emerging Adults Living With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Realist Process Evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: A multicomponent, text message-based digital intervention could support emerging adults living with T1D during their transition to adult care by enhancing their knowledge and motivation for self-management. Participant subgroups responded differently to various intervention components, which highlights that one-size-fits-all approaches are likely inadequate. Digital interventions should be developed and studied in a variety of…

The psychological impact of the disclosure of the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease on informal caregivers
INTRODUCTION: Receiving an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis can be a distressing experience, for both the individual with the condition and the family. This cross-sectional study explored whether the disclosure of AD diagnosis generated post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs) in caregivers and how this affected their psychological well-being.

De-escalated adjuvant radiotherapy versus standard adjuvant treatment for human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (MC1675): a phase 3, open-label, randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND: Standard adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (60-66 Gy) following surgery for HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma has excellent oncological control but high treatment morbidity. We aimed to compare toxicity of a 30-36 Gy regimen of de-escalated adjuvant radiotherapy and standard of care treatment.

The Effect of a Psychodrama-Based Group Intervention on Anger and Self-Injurious Behaviors in Adolescents Diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: Psychodrama group work significantly reduced anger and self-injury behaviors in adolescents with substance use disorders. Integrating psychodrama into treatment is recommended to improve care outcomes.

Effects of s-ketamine and midazolam on respiratory variability: A randomized controlled pilot trial
S-ketamine and midazolam are frequently used to provide sedation while maintaining spontaneous respiration. However, the effects of these agents on respiratory variability, which reflects the adaptability of the respiratory system, have not been thoroughly explored. We evaluated these effects in a randomized controlled pilot trial. This study was conducted as part of a randomized controlled…

Blunted anterior midcingulate response to reward in opioid users is normalized by prefrontal transcranial magnetic stimulation
Abnormalities in goal-directed behavior, mediated by mesocorticolimbic reward system, contribute to worse clinical outcomes including higher risk of treatment dropout and drug relapse in opioid users (OU). Despite efforts to counteract such neural alterations, brain-based interventions for this disorder remain ineffective. In this sham-controlled randomized study, we report the initial results on the efficacy of…

Early childhood caries intervention in Aboriginal Australian children: Follow-up at child age 9 years
CONCLUSION: The present study suggests that, within this cohort, initiating an early childhood caries intervention during pregnancy and infancy may be associated with lower caries experience in the primary dentition by age 9 years compared to a later start. Low maternal education level was associated with caries severity in both primary and permanent dentitions. Sugar…
