CONCLUSION: Preliminary findings from LatAm-FINGERS highlight the feasibility of conducting intervention trials within diverse populations. These findings underscore the importance of creating recruitment strategies that effectively engage underrepresented groups. This contributes significantly to global Alzheimer’s disease research efforts. The trial’s experience offers a valuable model for inclusive enrollment practices in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia…
CONCLUSION: AXS-05 demonstrated a substantial, rapid reduction in ADA vs controls after 5 weeks of treatment, increased time-to-relapse vs placebo, and was well-tolerated, supporting its development as a promising treatment option for ADA.
CONCLUSION: A single bout of tVNS does not appear effective for improving cognition in individuals with MCI.
CONCLUSION: Depending on correlations between prognostic scores and actual trial outcomes, a potential overall sample size reduction of 5-10% could be achieved using DT methodology (PROCOVA^(TM)) while maintaining statistical power, based on Δ CDR-SB and Δ ADAS-Cog 14 in the AWARE study. Sample size savings could enable shortening of the recruitment period and reduce the…
CONCLUSION: Acute exercise decreases brain glucose metabolism in both cognitively healthy and impaired older adults. This effect tracks with the systemic lactate response. This supports the hypothesis that increased lactate may spare glucose and be a key brain fuel during exercise. Additional work to directly measure brain lactate metabolism following exercise and understand the role…
CONCLUSION: These promising results highlight the potential of biophoton therapy as a novel and safe intervention for Alzheimer’s disease. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. This clinical study represents a significant step forward in treating Alzheimer’s disease.
CONCLUSION: The preliminary findings indicate the intervention can lead to a sustained increase in knowledge and a shift in negative attitudes among CHWs over time. Further analysis are being carried out, including a qualitative assessment of the intervention, which will help improve the intervention to be applied in a randomized- controlled trial in the future.
CONCLUSION: Early home visits combining NBO with standard care enhance maternal confidence and the mother’s understanding of her infant. The small sample size makes it difficult to conclude whether repeated NBO sessions during the first month increase dimensions of maternal sensitivity in mother-infant interaction at 4 months postpartum.
CONCLUSION: Women with breast cancer who undergo neurotoxic chemotherapy are thought to alleviate neuropathy symptoms and enhance their quality of life through simple home-based exercises. Nonpharmacological, applicable interventions, such as hand-foot exercises, can be integrated into patient education and care practices during the chemotherapy process.
CONCLUSIONS: The recruitment rate was lower than anticipated. An active recruitment process is advised if a future efficacy study is to be conducted. Adherence to the Activity Coach app was high, and it may be able to support older adults with HF in being physically active.
