Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation Program on Knee Osteoarthritis in Aging Population: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: The TCM rehabilitation program improved knee function and reduced pain intensity in aging populations with knee osteoarthritis. Well-designed randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up assessments are needed to draw more definitive conclusions. Trial registration Chinese Clinical Trial Register ChiCTR2000033351, date of registration: May 29, 2020.

Interpretability of Home Blood Pressure Measurements in Haemodialysis A Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomised Cross-Over Study
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the variability of BP measurement patterns if participants are not limited to measuring BP at a pre-specified frequency. Further studies are needed to assess optimal methods of standardising home BP monitoring in dialysis patients and to evaluate home BP thresholds that can be used as targets in randomised controlled trials.

Impact of a Novel Dietary Supplement on Efficacy of Pharmacological Treatments for Androgenic Alopecia: A Real-Life, Multicenter, Randomized, Assessor-Blinded Trial on 225 Subjects
CONCLUSION: Oral supplementation of AGA-P significantly increases the clinical efficacy of pharmacological treatments for mild-to-severe AGA/FAGA (Study Registration: ISRCTN-19671217).

Comparison of clinical effects of aspherical monofocal and Tecnis ZMB00 multifocal intraocular lenses in patients with age-related cataract
CONCLUSIONS: The multifocal intraocular lens outperformed the aspherical monofocal intraocular lens in improving the vision-related quality of life and rate of spectacle independence. However, it had dark vision defects and optical side-effects.

The MAR method versus the visual estimation method in predicting external blood loss: a randomized controlled study
Accurately estimating blood loss is critical for managing hemorrhagic shock in prehospital and hospital settings. The Visual Estimation (VE) method is widely used, while the MAR method proposes using a fist measurement to estimate external blood on flat surfaces. A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, controlled, and educational study was conducted involving 140 medical and paramedic students.…

Doctor’s Counselling Using Culturally Responsive Pamphlet Increased Mammogram Uptake among Malay-Muslim Women in Singapore: A Randomized Controlled Trial in a Primary Healthcare Clinic
CONCLUSION: Cue to action from doctor led to increased mammogram uptake among Malay-Muslim women. Future interventions to promote screening should include doctors and religious leaders to further improve mammogram uptake, and change knowledge, perception, and beliefs.

Impact of changes in conventional risk factors induced by once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist exenatide on cardiovascular outcomes: an EXSCEL post hoc analysis
CONCLUSIONS: These model simulations explain only a modest proportion of the impact of observed EQW-induced changes in conventional CV risk factors on EXSCEL outcomes, apart from hHF and MI. Up to 1-year changes in conventional risk factors did not mediate the observed ACM risk reduction.

Randomized, controlled trial to analyze the effect of using a traction-bed-device on patients suffering from osteoarthritis/spondylosis of the lumbar spine
CONCLUSIONS: The presented results show that an additional traction device can improve pain score, function, clinical scores as well as improvements in quality of life in patients with spondylosis.

Orthostatic Systolic Blood Pressure Elevation and Incident Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the SPRINT Trial
Exaggerated orthostatic changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) were associated with adverse cardiovascular events. We aim to assess the association between orthostatic SBP changes and incident atrial fibrillation (AF). We performed a post hoc analysis of SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial). Orthostatic SBP changes were defined as standing SBP minus seated SBP. Patients were…
