CONCLUSIONS: The findings showed that, on the fifth day of catheterization, silicone indwelling catheters significantly reduced the rate of bacterial colonization when compared to latex indwelling catheters.
CONCLUSIONS: Comparison of glass ionomer cement and dentin bonding agent revealed a significant difference in pain scores immediately after application. However, at 1- week and 6-weeks follow-ups, there was no significant difference between the two groups, as most patients reported only mild pain.
Background: The active mechanisms of change are unclear in early-provided exposure-based interventions for psychological trauma. This study aimed to address this gap by analysing weekly data from a randomised trial involving a 3-week therapist-guided online intervention based on prolonged exposure compared to a waiting-list control group.Method: The objective was to investigate whether changes in each…
CONCLUSION: Esketamine-propofol anesthesia significantly reduces the risk of hypoxia (SpO(2) < 92%) compared to sufentanil-propofol, while maintaining similar awakening time, satisfaction, postoperative exhaust time, and side events. Its hemodynamic advantages make it valuable for clinical use, especially in procedures requiring respiratory and hemodynamic stability.
CONCLUSION: Sixteen weeks of Baduanjin exercise may substantially enhance HRV, potentially aiding in balancing sympathetic-vagal nerve activity and thus contributing to the regulation of mental health.
CONCLUSION: BZYQP is feasible and safe to effectively improve the appetite of patients with CRC receiving chemotherapy and help them with better quality of life.
Non-pharmacological interventions are available to improve sleep quality including mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and physical activity (PA). The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of MBSR and PA interventions as an augmentation to treatment as usual with sertraline to improve sleep and psychological factors among patients with MDD. Sixty-seven patients in…
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to placebo, BTID significantly reduced the change in PG levels during the MMTT and decreased the risk of large PG fluctuations by 65.5%. These effects were associated to a significant reduction in postprandial insulin secretion and may help to improved insulin sensitivity and a lower β-cell burden.
CONCLUSION: Mindfulness-based interventions are effective in improving inattention, impulsivity, and emotional regulation among children with ADHD and increasing their performance in all activities.
CONCLUSIONS: Extragenital screening for CT and NG should be recommended as part of STI services to MSM population. Self-collection of rectal and pharyngeal specimens had good performance for CT and NG tests and acceptability to the target population.
