CONCLUSIONS: For breech presentation at the beginning of the third trimester, providing postural therapy instruction on opposite-side lateral positioning and same-side lateral positioning was associated with 8% reduction of breech fetuses at 37 gestational weeks compared with the control group, but this primary endpoint did not reach statistical significance. Regarding the secondary endpoints, the intervention…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Among the participants of Alzheimer disease (AD) treatment trials, 40% do not show cognitive decline over 80 weeks of follow-up. Identifying and excluding these individuals can increase power to detect treatment effects. We aimed to develop machine learning-based predictive models to identify persons unlikely to show decline on placebo treatment over 80…
Home phototherapy is recommended as an alternative to hospital-based therapy for neonatal jaundice in otherwise healthy full-term infants. With a reliable device for transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement, bilirubin values could be monitored at home during treatment. This study aimed to examine the accuracy of TcB measurement of bilirubin levels before, during, and after home phototherapy.…
CONCLUSIONS: Adjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 is feasible, and may be effective after lung metastasectomy for colorectal cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: In modern operating rooms equipped with standard, midrange airflow ventilation systems, the addition of wall-mounted plasma air purifiers did not reduce the PSIM rate after orthopedic surgery. (Funded by the Swedish Research Council; grant number, 2017-00198; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02695368.).
CONCLUSIONS: Both the pulse and continuous modes of therapeutic ultrasound (US) are equally effective in relieving pain. US therapy in both modes is a potent and independent therapeutic modality for the treatment of TMD-M.
OBJECTIVE: The PaCUDAHL randomized clinical trial evaluated an HPV self-sampling device provided by the family doctor to female patients not participating in the usual opportunistic cervical screening program from 2016 to 2019. Reliable data on the Hawthorne (observer) effect (HE) in clinical trials were lacking. This nested study aimed to verify whether there was a…
Increased dietary sodium is linked to hypertension, but most young adults display «sodium-resistant» blood pressure (BP), meaning BP is not elevated with sodium loading. In sodium-resistant rodents, fructose induces salt-sensitive BP via increased renal sodium reabsorption. Therefore, we tested the impact of fructose and sodium on renal sodium handling and BP in healthy adults, hypothesizing…
CONCLUSIONS: A higher level of UPF consumption was associated with a higher risk of depressive symptoms and adversely affected mental health among older adults.
CONCLUSIONS: Interactive education effectively enhances psychiatric patients’ knowledge and attitudes toward ACP but does not significantly influence their intent to sign AD. We advocate for their empowerment in ACP discussions. This study highlights the feasibility of integrating ACP promotion into routine psychiatric care.
