An Internet-Delivered Intervention to Reduce LGBTQ+ Prejudice Among Romanian Teachers: Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The intervention offers initial evidence for the effectiveness of a cost-effective and portable online resource for educators and high school counselors, particularly in regions where negative attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community are prominent. The results show that integrating blended cognitive (information), affective (indirect contact and perspective taking), and behavioral (self-efficacy and empowerment) approaches is…

Brain Amyloid Plaque Levels Affect Clinical Progression in Alzheimer Disease: Assessment of Amyloid PET and Change in CDR-SB Utilizing Semi-Mechanistic Model
Lecanemab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody binding with high affinity to protofibrils of amyloid-beta (Aβ) protein. In clinical studies, lecanemab has been shown to reduce amyloid markers in early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease and slow decline on clinical endpoints of cognition and function. Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling assessed the correlation between amyloid PET and change in…

Does Past Myopia Progression Predict Future Progression?
CONCLUSIONS: Changes in SER and AL of children in the prior 12 months were poor predictors of future myopia progression, limiting their usefulness for clinical decision-making or selecting participants for clinical trials.

Privacy Fact Sheets for Mitigating Disease-Related Privacy Concerns and Facilitating Equal Access to the Electronic Health Record: Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that PFSs may help to increase EHR uploads in people interacting with a realistic EHR click dummy, by mitigating privacy concerns in scenarios involving stigmatized diseases. Results further indicate that a PFS is mainly relevant and effective for people with increased privacy risk perceptions, whereas they neither benefit nor hurt others.…

Effects of Electronic Sports on Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Controlled Study
CONCLUSIONS: The effects of eSports on cognitive function and psychiatric symptoms in older adults with MCI could not be confirmed in the present study. The potential of eSports to enhance cognition and alleviate psychiatric symptoms in older adults warrants further investigation through larger, rigorously designed studies to establish its efficacy.

Exploring Adherence and Acceptability of an Intermittent Carbohydrate Restriction Regime (ICARB) in Free-Living Adults: A Feasibility Study
CONCLUSION: The ICARB protocol was feasible and acceptable over 4 weeks under free-living conditions. These findings support its short-term practicality and adherence potential, warranting longer-term and controlled studies to assess metabolic and behavioural outcomes.

Trunk Impairment Scale and Stroke Impact Scale for Clinical Assessment of Patients in the Subacute Stage After Stroke Following Sensory Intervention
Stroke survivors frequently present with impaired trunk control, which is a key determinant of mobility, balance, and independence in activities of daily living (ADL). Reliable clinical tools are therefore needed to evaluate postural stability, particularly in patients unable to stand. This randomized controlled study assessed the applicability of the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) and Stroke…

Effect of a digital sexual violence prevention education program on digital sexual violence prevention knowledge, self-protection behavior, and digital citizenship among fifth-grade children: a quasi-experimental study
CONCLUSION: The four-session digital sexual violence prevention education program effectively enhanced digital sexual violence prevention knowledge and bystander self-efficacy related to digital citizenship among fifth-grade students. Further research using a randomized controlled design with a larger sample size is recommended to confirm and extend these findings.
