CONCLUSIONS: HIVST is an effective strategy for enhancing regular HIV testing behavior among transgender women in China. This strategy should be combined with measures to address the financial vulnerability of the transgender women community to reduce subsequent risk behaviors, including condomless sex.
CONCLUSIONS: The POW trial evaluates the effectiveness of an eHealth PA intervention for improving depressive symptoms and increasing PA among postpartum individuals at high PPD risk. Results have implications for the design and delivery of behavioral interventions among vulnerable patients.
There is currently a lack of prospective studies comparing multiple treatment options for single-sided deafness (SSD) in terms of long-term sound localization outcomes. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the objective and subjective sound localization abilities of SSD patients treated with a cochlear implant (CI), a bone conduction device (BCD), a contralateral routing…
CONCLUSIONS: Recruitment and retention rates suggest a trial of lTRE in adolescents with T2D was feasible. lTRE was seen as acceptable by participants and adherence was high. A revised intervention, building on the successful elements of this pilot alongside adapting implementations strategies to augment adherence and engagement, should therefore be considered.
BACKGROUND: Tranexamic acid, given within 3 h of birth, reduces bleeding deaths in women with postpartum haemorrhage. We examined whether giving tranexamic acid shortly after birth can prevent postpartum haemorrhage in women with moderate or severe anaemia.
Acute cerebral infarction poses a significant health risk and effective treatment is crucial. This randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of combining Butylphthalide and Atorvastatin on neurological function, quality of life and vascular endothelial function in 124 individuals with acute cerebral infarction. Participants were randomized into control and experimental groups, with the latter receiving the…
The objective of this study was to determine the results of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy lean subjects in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D); Methods: We designed a phase II, randomized, single-blind, parallel-arm clinical trial. Twenty-one subjects (12 men [57.1%] and 9 women [42.9%]), who had previously signed an informed consent were randomized…
This study investigated the impacts of online and face-to-face Mat Pilates training in adults with persistent symptoms of long COVID on health outcomes. Forty-nine patients (52 ± 5.85 yr.) diagnosed with long COVID related to fatigue symptoms were randomly included in three groups: online Mat Pilates training (n = 16), face-to-face Mat Pilates training (n…
CONCLUSIONS: Eight-week daily 4 to 6 h TRE did not affect IGF1, IGFBP1, or IGFBP3 levels but improved insulin, HOMA-IR, and 8-isoprostane. IGFBP2 increased and leptin decreased when weight loss exceeded 3.5% of baseline.
Colon polyp detection and removal via colonoscopy are essential for colorectal cancer screening and prevention. This study aimed to develop a colon polyp detection program based on the RetinaNet algorithm and verify its clinical utility. To develop the AI-assisted program, the dataset was fully anonymized and divided into 10 folds for 10-fold cross-validation. Each fold…
