CONCLUSIONS: Shorter 2- and 4-hour daily bleaching with 10% CP is noninferior to the 8-hour protocol.
CONCLUSION: This study highlighted emotional and social burdens of EoE. The encouraging feedback on study participation underscores the importance of patient insights in developing holistic management strategies for EoE.
The aim of this study was to assess if ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) can reduce pain perception and enhance corticospinal excitability during voluntary contractions. In a randomised, within-subject design, healthy participants took part in three experimental visits after a familiarisation session. Measures of pressure pain threshold (PPT), maximum voluntary isometric force, voluntary activation, resting twitch force,…
CONCLUSIONS: Both Tele-cEEG and Tele-rEEG are feasible, although Tele-EEG requires additional EEG specialists, budget, and computational resources. While Tele-cEEG may help detect NCS/NCSE, this study had limited power to detect its efficacy in reducing mortality or improving functional outcomes. In limited-resource settings, Tele-rEEG approximating 30 min or longer offers a feasible and potentially valuable initial…
INTRODUCTION: The follow-up adherence after treatment for a positive screening test is critical for preventing the development of screen-detected abnormalities in cervical cancer. Yet, this poses a major challenge in developing countries like Ethiopia, emphasising the urgency for intervention strategies. Our trial aims to assess which strategies would be effective in improving adherence to follow-up…
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that WB-EMS is safe and feasible for cancer patients. Furthermore, it showed that even after 2 weeks, improvements concerning the physical performance and patient-reported outcomes can be achieved. This study indicates benefits of WB-EMS as short-term exercise methode in cancer patients, that could be utelised in fields such as cancer prehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: These qualitative research results identified several important barriers to engaging in HIV care and provide insights into the mechanisms through which the Daraja intervention operated to affect the perceived stigma, social support, self-efficacy, and increased capacity of participants to navigate the HIV clinic during HIV clinic linkage.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and subjects’ perception of the Modified Schirmer Test (MST) to the traditional Unstimulated Salivary Flow Test (USFT) when measuring salivary flow rate for screening and monitoring patients’ dry mouth.
The study was designed to appraise the effects of early antibiotic administration on reproductive tract infections and fetal membrane cell scorching in instances of premature rupture of membranes (PROM). A total of 107 pregnant women diagnosed with PROM between July 2020 and June 2022 were randomly assigned to two groups: the Intervention (n=54), where ampicillin…
CONCLUSIONS: A Mindful Eating approach may aid in managing dysfunctional cognitive restraint, a key component for sustainable excess weight treatment. The protocol can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05845411).
