Electrical Muscle Stimulation With or Without Blood Flow Restriction Does Not Prevent the Impairment in Glycemic Control After 1 Week of Physical Inactivity
Physical inactivity depresses glycemic control, an impairment that can be prevented with exercise. We investigated whether electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with blood flow restriction (BFR) could similarly prevent the impairments in glycemic control associated with physical inactivity and whether this was effective for attenuating the loss of physical function after inactivity. Thirty-two participants underwent 1…

Concurrent effects of high-intensity interval training and vitamin D supplementation on bone metabolism among women diagnosed with osteoporosis: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Sixteen weeks of HIIT and vitamin D consumption showed greater benefits for BMD levels in women with osteoporosis than either vitamin D consumption or HIIT training alone. Therefore, HIIT plus vitamin D consumption may be a strategic option to prevent BMD reduction with aging or to slow demineralization.

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…
