Long-Term Outcomes After Fractional Flow Reserve vs Intravascular Ultrasound to Guide PCI: The FLAVOUR Trial Extended Follow-Up
CONCLUSIONS: FFR-guided and IVUS-guided treatment strategies resulted in comparable long-term outcomes, with no significant difference in patient-oriented composite outcomes. Although FFR-guided treatment was associated with a higher incidence of late target vessel revascularization, the overall target vessel PCI rate, accounting for both the index procedure and revascularization during follow-up, remained significantly lower in the FFR-guided…

Statin Use in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer in the TITAN and SPARTAN Trials
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cohort study, statin exposure was associated with longer OS in patients treated with apalutamide. Statin-exposed patients had a higher risk of grade 3 or greater cardiac AEs, which may reflect their preexisting cardiovascular comorbidity.

Dynamics of the EZ/RPE Loss Ratio on OCT Over Time During Geographic Atrophy Progression and Treatment With Pegcetacoplan
CONCLUSIONS: The change in EZ/RPE loss ratios at month 12 remained to be predictive for disease activity and therapeutic response, providing insights into disease mechanisms and relevant guidance for GA management in clinical practice. The EZ/RPE loss ratio decreased either due to advanced GA or induced by therapy in treated patients versus sham.

A post-market, cluster randomised controlled trial of the effect of the TENA SmartCare Change Indicator on continence care efficiency and skin health in nursing homes
BACKGROUND: Urinary Incontinence (UI) is highly prevalent in older residents of nursing homes. For many, management consists of using appropriate products (pads) maintained by a check and change regimen; this is often poorly managed. Digital health technology devices, like urine saturation sensors, may aid ensure timely change of pads. This study examined the efficacy and…

Physical fitness and clinically assessed disease burden in long-term childhood cancer survivors-The SURfit study
CONCLUSION: CCS participating in an exercise intervention trial experienced a high burden of adverse health outcomes. Increased physical fitness was associated with reduced disease burden for all survivors, emphasizing the importance of encouraging fitness improvements, regardless of cancer history.

Oestrogen replacement combined with resistance exercise in older women with knee osteoarthritis: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: ERT did not confer significant additive benefits to resistance exercise overall but may improve outcomes in early-stage KOA and mental health domains. These exploratory findings warrant further investigation.
