Background: the evolution of axillary management in breast cancer has witnessed significant changes in recent decades, leading to an overall reduction in surgical interventions. There have been notable shifts in practice, aiming to minimize morbidity while maintaining oncologic outcomes and accurate staging for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. These advancements have been facilitated by the…
CONCLUSIONS: In western Kenya, the burden of malaria in children remains high. Most households owned a bed net, but coverage was inadequate. Residents of Alego-Usonga sub-county, those living in traditionally constructed households, and older children were more likely to test positive by RDT. Additional tools are needed to effectively control malaria in this area. Trial…
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic performance of the EC skin test was similar to that of the T-SPOT test in the healthy population and was unaffected by BCG vaccination. The booster effects were more inclined to occur in population with retest positivity of T-SPOT or age ≥ 60 years.
CONCLUSION: Rebamipide/nizatidine combination is effective in treatment of erosive gastritis.
CONCLUSION: Twelve-weeks hybrid virtual coaching did not improve HrQoL more than telemonitoring only in patients with stable COPD. The intervention group improved their physical activity and symptom burden clinically relevant more than the control group.
CONCLUSION: The single- and double-layer closure techniques do not produce different impacts on CS niche features at 6 months after delivery. Ultrasound might be an important noninvasive diagnostic tool for understanding CS scar remodeling.
Objective: To explore the efficacy of vonoprazan fumarate in the treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease（LPRD） evaluated by the Chinese version of the RSS-12 scale. Methods:A total of 100 LPRD patients treated in the otolaryngology-head and neck surgery outpatient clinic of our hospital were randomly divided into two groups（50 cases each）. The observation group was treated…
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with traditional occluders, ReAces presented a significantly greater complete endothelialization rate, lower central region thickness, lower left atrial device-occupied volume, and lower device compression rates at 1 year post-implantation by CTA.
CONCLUSIONS: The two self-collection strategies were superior and showed the best adherence, with the ONS strategy shown to be superior or non-inferior in all measures. We are now studying the operationalization of a large-scale self-collected ONS surveillance strategy in a prospective cohort study of multiple homeless shelters. Funding was provided by the Hamilton Academic Hospital…
CONCLUSIONS: Six-month Guolin Qigong could improve quality of life, physical function, and pain, and have a beneficial effect on the well-being of cancer patients. Further studies are warranted to confirm these results.
