A WeChat-Based Decision Aid Intervention to Promote Informed Decision-Making for Family Members Regarding the Genetic Testing of Patients With Colorectal Cancer: Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: A DA tool may be a safe, effective, and resource-efficient approach to facilitate informed decision-making about genetic testing. However, the current DA tool requires optimization and further evaluation-for example, by leveraging more advanced technology than WeChat to develop a simpler and more intelligent DA system.

Clinical evaluation of in-office bleaching with low, medium, and high concentrate hydrogen peroxide: a 6-month a double-blinded randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Low, medium, and high concentrations of HP did not affect both the final tooth color and the reported TS intensity, regardless of the evaluation time. In-office bleaching provides positive effects on aesthetic perception and different HP concentrations have not influenced this positive effect.

Capecitabine metronomic chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer patients reaching NED: A protocol for a prospective, randomized, controlled trial
INTRODUCTION: An increasing number of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have achieved no evidence of diseases (NED) status after surgery or other treatments. However, the latest guidelines for colorectal cancer do not recommend an appropriate treatment for patients with mCRC who achieve NED status. Capecitabine metronomic chemotherapy has the advantages of significant efficacy and…

Efficacy of an Intelligent and Integrated Older Adult Care Model on Quality of Life Among Home-Dwelling Older Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The personalized and integrated older adult care by the SMART system demonstrated significant efficacy in improving QOL, health self-management ability, and social support, while reducing instrumental activities of daily living disability among home-dwelling older adults.

One-Day Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Based Workshops for the Prevention of Postpartum Depression: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to 1 in 5 birthing parents and is associated with more future depressive episodes. We aimed to determine if PPD could be prevented with online 1-day cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based workshops.

Clinical Trial Notifications Triggered by Artificial Intelligence-Detected Cancer Progression: A Randomized Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized trial, prompting academic medical oncologists with information about genomically matched therapeutic clinical trials for patients with tumor progression based on AI interpretation of imaging reports did not increase therapeutic trial enrollment. The findings suggest that future use of AI to optimize enrollment in cancer clinical trials should include tasks…

Impact of the in-office bleaching gels pH on tooth sensitivity in combined bleaching techniques: a randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSION: Using a gel with neutral and stable pH during in-office bleaching reduces the risk and intensity of TS without compromising whitening efficacy.

The Organic Halo Effect: Perceived Caloric Disparities in High- and Low-Calorie Foods and the Role of Nutrition Label Reading Frequency
BACKGROUND: This study examines the organic halo effect, specifically how organic labels influence perceptions of caloric content and consumption recommendations for high and low calorie food items. Previous research suggests that organic labels can create a perception of healthiness, but it is unclear how these perceptions vary with food calorie content.

Efficacy of Hamstring Stretching, Ultrasound Therapy, and Pressure Pain Threshold for Masseter Muscle in TMJ Dysfunction Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: Hamstring stretching combined with ultrasound therapy and pressure pain threshold application was significantly more effective in reducing TMD-related pain and improving MVMO than pressure pain threshold and ultrasound therapy alone. These findings indicate that integrating hamstring stretching into TMD treatment protocols could improve rehabilitation outcomes.

The Effect of Information on the Time Course of Pain During an Episode of Acute Experimentally Induced Low Back Pain-A Randomised Experiment
CONCLUSIONS: We simulated an episode of low back pain and found that information based on tissue sensitivity and advice to remain active did not improve pain compared to information referencing tissue damage and advice to rest and protect the back.
