Dark Chocolate Mitigates Premenstrual Performance Impairments and Muscle Soreness in Female CrossFit() Athletes: Evidence from a Menstrual-Phase-Specific Trial
Background: Hormonal fluctuations across the menstrual cycle can significantly impair physical performance, neuromuscular function, and cognitive processing in female athletes, particularly during the premenstrual phase. Emerging evidence suggests that dark chocolate (DC), rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, magnesium, and theobromine, may exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective effects. This study investigated the acute effects of 85% DC…

Internet-Based Psycho-Physical Exercise Intervention Program in Mild-to-Moderate Depression: The Study Protocol of the SONRIE Randomized Controlled Trial
The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified depression due to isolation and reduced physical activity, highlighting the need for accessible remote treatments. The SONRIE study evaluates the effectiveness of a 12-week online intervention combining physical exercise and internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy on depressive symptoms in adults with mild-to-moderate depression. This randomized controlled trial involved 80 adults aged 25-65…

Gain-Framed Text Messages and Nicotine Replacement Therapy for Smoking Cessation Among Lung Cancer Screening Patients: A Brief Report of a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
People who undergo lung cancer screening (LCS) and continue to smoke are at risk for negative clinical outcomes and lowered survival and need effective smoking cessation interventions. This pilot study tested an 8-week intervention for smoking cessation after LCS. The participants (N = 40) were randomized to the intervention group (combination nicotine replacement therapy [NRT]…

Initial Psychometric Evaluation of the Barth Syndrome Symptom Assessment (BTHS-SA) for Adolescents and Adults in a Phase 2 Clinical Study
CONCLUSION: Though the small sample size limits strong conclusions, this analysis suggests the BTHS-SA can produce reliable scores upon which valid inferences may be drawn. The BTHS-SA may be a useful tool to evaluate treatment benefits in this underserved population.

Ethnic Sensitivity Assessment of Mosunetuzumab Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Chinese Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
Mosunetuzumab, a CD20 × CD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody, redirects T cells to eliminate malignant B cells. The purpose of YO43555 was to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, and efficacy of mosunetuzumab as a single agent in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (R/R FL). The impact of ethnicity/region on the PK disposition of mosunetuzumab…

Health Care Resource Utilization for Patients With Suspected Myocardial Infarction: A Secondary Analysis of the RACE-IT Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial of a 0/1-hour hs-cTnI protocol to rule out MI in the ED found that there was a reduction in cardiac evaluations and ED length of stay without increasing revascularization rates compared with the standard 0/3-hour hs-cTnI protocol. This approach could optimize health care resources…

Impact of resistance training on inflammatory biomarkers and associations with treatment outcomes in colon cancer
CONCLUSION: Inflammatory markers in patients with colon cancer undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy were not significantly impacted by randomization to a resistance training program but were associated with baseline body composition measures. Further investigations are needed to better elucidate the potential role of inflammatory markers and body composition in predicting important treatment outcomes.

The effectiveness of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) programme for parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): a pilot randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: The pilot study revealed that MBSR is feasible and acceptable for parents of children with ADHD in Chinese culture. The findings also suggested that the MBSR programme was effective in reducing parental stress and enhancing mental well-being. This study was registered in the National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information Clinical Trials…

Effect on preoperative anxiety of a personalized three-dimensional kidney model prior to nephron-sparing surgery for renal tumor: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (Rein 3D Print-Anxiety — UroCCR 113)
BACKGROUND: The announcement of a diagnosis can be a source of anxiety for patients. Managing this anxiety is a major challenge, in terms of quality of life but also for the use of anxiolytic and analgesic therapies. The use of 3D modeling technology in partial nephrectomy surgery has proved its worth as a surgical aid…
