CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: A low-intensity online intervention did not significantly improve distress, depressive, or anxiety symptoms but showed some potential in reducing general stress and negative emotions and improving resilience. These findings are encouraging but not definitive, and caution is needed due to missing data. These data suggest that a low-intensity online intervention may offer…
CONCLUSION: A positive exposure-response relationship between vedolizumab trough concentrations and UC outcomes suggests that monitoring drug levels may be beneficial. While thiopurine did not influence vedolizumab levels, its withdrawal may necessitate higher vedolizumab trough concentrations to maintain remission.
CONCLUSIONS: ^(18)F-PSMA PET/CT was able to detect several pancreaticobiliary cancers, including PDAC. However, uptake was generally low, not specific to PDAC and no tracer uptake was observed in lymph node or distant metastases. The added value of PSMA PET in this setting appears to be limited.
CONCLUSIONS: Among the tested agents, the CPP-ACP group demonstrated the most notable reduction in DH symptoms by week 8, highlighting its potential as an effective method for alleviating DH symptoms in a home-use agents.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, implementation of the ePRO monitoring system significantly enhanced patient-physician communication and the clarity of physicians’ explanations about treatment. These findings suggest that the ePRO monitoring system is capable of supporting patient-centered cardiovascular care.
INTRODUCTION: Adaptive ChemoTherapy for Ovarian cancer (ACTOv) is a phase II, multicentre, randomised controlled trial, evaluating an adaptive therapy (AT) regimen with carboplatin in women with relapsed, platinum-sensitive high-grade serous or high-grade endometrioid cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube and peritoneum whose disease has progressed at least 6 months after day 1 of the last…
CONCLUSION: Despite the small sample size, the data suggests a clinical benefit from starting with a potent TCS rather than a mild TCS when a flare-up of AD is moderate.
INTRODUCTION: Ischaemic heart disease is the single most common cause of death worldwide. Traditionally, distinguishing patients with cardiac ischaemia from patients with less alarming disease, in prehospital triage of chest pain, is challenging for both general practitioners and ambulance paramedics. Less than 20% of patients with chest pain, transferred to the emergency department (ED), have…
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that intervention may be cost-saving and health-increasing; however, findings are uncertain and subject to limitations. Further research should aim to reduce the uncertainty in the findings (eg, with larger sample sizes) and explore potential longer-term economic benefits associated with MCT in this setting.
INTRODUCTION: A diagnosis of melanoma in situ presents negligible risk to a person’s lifespan or physical well-being, but existing terminology makes it difficult for patients to distinguish these from higher risk invasive melanomas. This study aims to explore whether using an alternative label for melanoma in situ may influence patients’ management choices and anxiety levels.
