CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This randomized clinical trial found a modest improvement in medication adherence among patients with CHF who received the pharmacist-led management intervention vs usual care.
BACKGROUND: While water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions can reduce diarrheal disease, many large-scale trials have not found the expected health gains for young children in low-resource settings. Evidence-based guidance is needed to improve interventions and remove barriers to diarrheal disease reduction.
CONCLUSION: The application of the EMCS+BC scaffold demonstrates superior outcomes in pulp regeneration after six months, with a higher degree of healing observed compared to the NCS+BC and BC groups. There were no statistically significant differences at one month, three months, and twelve months. Additionally, tooth sensitivity was more pronounced in the EMCS+BC and NCS+BC…
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that multimodal therapy not only exhibits significant effectiveness in the management of allergic rhinitis but also holds potential advantages in improving patients’ quality of life. These findings provide a new perspective for the treatment of AR and may have significant implications for the design and optimization of future…
CONCLUSION: A five-year follow-up in this study demonstrated better clinical outcome for SRSD with or without CS compared to SRFD technique, irrespective of age, pre-op sensitivity, cavity type, radiographic depth and activity of the caries. Application of CS after SRSD in deeper cavities provided better healing in terms of dentin bridge formation.
CONCLUSION: In comparison to LPC, 4% TG showed a stronger anesthetic effect on reducing injection pain after 60-minute application. It also generally presented a higher frequency of cutaneous reactions but didn’t affect the eyelid edema 24 h postoperatively.
CONCLUSION: The use of TENS, as an adjunctive treatment to physiotherapy, leads to an improvement in pain control and spirometry values in patients after thoracic surgery, without producing side effects with the technique. These findings provide physiological evidence for the use of TENS in post-pulmonary surgery and may form the basis for the development of…
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is common in haemodialysis patients with no known beneficial interventions. Cooler dialysate slows brain white-matter changes, but its effect on cognition is unknown. This feasibility trial was performed to inform a fully-powered, randomised trial to assess this.
CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral heel pain as opposed to bilateral heel pain, was the most consistent positive predictor for the outcomes pain and function in plantar fasciopathy at 12-month follow-up. Hence, patients with bilateral PF may need extended assessment and treatment. Other predictors varied among outcomes. These findings may be used to improve clinical management of patients…
CONCLUSION: We found that the outpatient treatment of COVID-19 patients with HAZDPac which includes Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin, was not associated with prolongation of QTc compared to placebo and QTc remained within normal range.
