CONCLUSION: The SMS intervention significantly improved stroke prevention knowledge and showed a non-significant trend towards better medication adherence. Baseline motivational and cultural factors likely influenced outcomes, underscoring the need to address behavioral, cultural and economic barriers. This scalable telehealth model warrants further exploration to optimize adherence in resource-limited settings.
INTRODUCTION: The elderly are particularly vulnerable to morbidity and mortality from COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2. Approximately 20% of the elderly showed no antibodies 3-5 months post-second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. As probiotics have been shown to increase influenza-specific antibody levels post-influenza vaccination, we aim to reduce the percentage of participants without…
CONCLUSION: Sonolysis was safe for patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy and resulted in a significant reduction in the composite incidence of ischaemic stroke, transient ischaemic attack, and death within 30 days.
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the need for improved education on screening appropriateness and associated risks and the importance of tailored communication to reduce knowledge differences across educational levels without increasing inappropriate use.
BACKGROUND: Adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. Comorbid depression is prevalent among adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) and poses numerous challenges to HIV care engagement and retainment. We present a pilot trial designed to investigate feasibility, fidelity, and acceptability of an adapted and an enhanced Friendship Bench intervention (henceforth: AFB…
CONCLUSION: Selective removal of infected dentin followed by mild self-etch adhesive application and composite restoration was effective in maintaining pulp vitality, attenuating postoperative sensitivity, and dentin neoformation after 6 months. PBM therapy improved the mineralization density and area of neoformed dentin.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of apalutamide to androgen-deprivation therapy may provide less benefit in patients with mCSPC who have fewer bone metastases. Counting baseline bone metastases may help identify optimal candidates for apalutamide treatment of mCSPC.
CONCLUSION: Inadequate consumption of various types and sources of dietary FAs might be associated with an increased risk of OC.
CONCLUSIONS: Chest CT findings in disseminated histoplasmosis are variable and often nonspecific, complicating diagnosis. The presence of diffuse micronodular patterns should raise suspicion for histoplasmosis in endemic regions, particularly among immunocompromised individuals.
CONCLUSIONS: This 2024 BONE-PARK algorithm is informed by both the latest NOGG Guidelines and novel findings in a ‘real-world’ population. The algorithm will aid bone health assessment for people with PD.
