CONCLUSION: The VATICAN trial will follow all national and international ethical standards. We aim to publish the trial in a high-visibility general journal and present it at critical care and infectious disease conferences for dissemination. These results will likely be immediately applicable to the bedside upon trial completion and will provide information with a low…
CONCLUSION: Elderly patients with MDS have poor tolerance to chemotherapy. Reducing azacitidine in the treatment of elderly MDS patients shows good efficacy and safety.
CONCLUSION: The intervention was associated with significant reductions of antibiotic prescriptions and non-adherence, chiefly among patients with non-malaria fever, those with respiratory symptoms and children below 5 years of age. The addition of COVID-19 testing did not have a major impact on antibiotic use at primary health centers.
BACKGROUND: Epilepsy and other seizure disorders account for a high disease burden in Germany. As a timely diagnosis and accurate treatment are crucial, improving the management of these disorders is important. Outside of Germany, outpatient long-term video EEGs (ALVEEGs) have demonstrated the potential to support the diagnosis and management of epilepsy and other seizure disorders.…
CONCLUSION: Both CNB and FNAB could potentially replace SLNB due to their high accuracy rates in evaluating the axilla after NAC. The sensitivity and accuracy of CNB were determined to be higher.
Background Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) is gaining acceptance for the management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) in patients without negative prognostic factors. However, the value of MRI in evaluating tumor response after NCT remains unclear. Purpose To investigate the accuracy of MRI in assessing pathologic complete response in participants with LARC who underwent surgery after…
BACKGROUND: The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is increasing, especially among young people. Tools are needed to increase knowledge about sex education and STI prevention and treatment. Gamification can be a good training tool for both young people and health professionals. The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of a…
INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy. MM is associated with significant morbidity due to its end-organ destruction and is a disease of the older population. Although survival rates for MM have improved over the last decade, due to an increase in treatment options, the disease remains incurable. Expensive (oral) agents…
CONCLUSIONS: PTF reduced SA progression assessed by CIMT variation, a beneficial effect related to KL gene expression in PBCs.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial of a brief, lay-led mental health intervention, ITH proved superior to WL. The findings suggest that ITH has the potential to provide an easily trainable and scalable intervention, incorporating Islam and empirically supported principles, that addresses the psychological wounds of war and refugee trauma.
