CONCLUSION: Randomisation of people with MCI to a personalised hearing intervention versus control is feasible. These findings support proceeding to a fully-powered multicentre RCT.
CONCLUSION: Although expressive writing is a pragmatic and accessible intervention, our findings suggested that it was of benefit only to people with low dispositional disgust. Further work is required to establish an effective psychological tool for this under-researched population.
CONCLUSION: Rivaroxaban demonstrates efficacy comparable to LMWH in patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis following thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery, while exhibiting a superior safety profile compared to LMWH.
CONCLUSIONS: The TNS-01 device is effective and safe in relieving OAB symptoms after 12 weeks of stimulation.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that TECAR therapy may reduce pain and improve hip adduction range of motion in athletes with adductor-related groin pain.
BACKGROUND: Children often experience anxiety and pain during minor surgical procedures, prompting the search for effective pain management strategies beyond traditional pharmaceutical approaches. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) as a pain reduction method in pediatric outpatient surgical interventions compared to the standard use of nitrous oxide. The research questions…
Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a dermatological condition, marked by hyperpigmentation and skin thickening, frequently affecting body folds like the axillae. Treatment options for axillary hyperpigmentation remain underexplored. This study evaluated the efficacy of 0.025% tretinoin cream in treating axillary hyperpigmentation associated with AN. In a randomized, intra-individual, split-side design study, participants applied 0.025% tretinoin cream…
INTRODUCTION: Despite its therapeutic advantages, postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) increases the risk of complications and often leads to poor cosmesis in women undergoing breast reconstruction. Preoperative radiotherapy followed by skin-sparing mastectomy and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction is technically feasible, with low rates of surgical complications and good short-term oncological outcomes. Further evaluation in…
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Compared with usual care, BA demonstrated a slight cost reduction while maintaining QALY improvement. The findings provide promise for BA interventions for older people with depression and MLTCs facing isolation.
This study delves into the impact of precise health management coupled with physical rehabilitation on bone biomarkers in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Two hundred and forty individuals diagnosed with senile osteoporosis were randomly assigned to either the observation group (precision health management group, n = 120) or the control group (routine health management group, n…
