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.
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,…
