Amino Acid Profile and Composite Metabolic Markers in Postsurgical Oncology Patients Receiving Combined Nutritional Therapy
CONCLUSION: Cancer patients following abdominal surgery exhibit a pronounced amino acid imbalance that is partially correctable by combined nutritional support. The BCAA/AAA, UreaCycle, and arginine indices reflect the metabolic response and correlate with disease severity and nitrogen balance. The rate of correction of these disorders is comparable in both the group receiving Aminoven 10% and…

The effect of 5-hydroxytryptophan, a serotonin precursor, on adults with high levels of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder traits: A randomised, controlled trial
BACKGROUND: Although several effective therapies exist for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), current pharmaceutical treatment carries a high risk of misuse and high levels of discontinuation, evidencing a need for alternatives. One possible avenue is serotonergic intervention, particularly within the serotonin synthesis pathway, where there are several potential loci of dysfunction in ADHD. This study…

Effect of probiotics derivatives (postbiotics and metabiotics) on glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a randomized clinical trial (DELI_Diab study)
CONCLUSIONS: Three-month supplementation with L. rhamnosus DV lysate significantly improves glycemic control (HbA1c) and reduces waist circumference compared to placebo in T2D patients. While positive trends in insulin sensitivity and anthropometrics were observed, further large-scale studies are required to confirm these metabolic benefits and assess long-term sustainability.

Clinical efficacy of Fufang Zaofan Pills and their immunomodulatory effects on peripheral blood dendritic cells in individuals with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Fufang Zaofan Pills in individuals diagnosed with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and to assess associated changes in peripheral blood dendritic cell (DC) levels. A cohort of 60 individuals with newly diagnosed lower-risk MDS were enrolled at the Department of Hematology, Jiading Central Hospital,…

Efficacy and Tolerability of a Triple Acid-Containing Serum Combined With 0.1% Adapalene in Mild-to-Moderate Acne Vulgaris: A Randomized, Open-Label Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: TAS in combination with AG was shown to improve mild-to-moderate acne with good tolerability and may effectively reduce the recurrence rate when applied as a maintenance treatment post-AG.

Effect of strict oral hygiene on self-rated halitosis and quality of life in patients with periodontitis: a secondary randomized controlled trial analysis
This single-blind, randomized clinical trial evaluated the impact of a strict oral hygiene (OH) phase on self-reported halitosis and quality of life (QoL) in patients with periodontitis. This study reports a secondary analysis of a single-blind randomized controlled trial (parallel, 1:1), registered at RBR-5jmx32v. The study included 24 individuals diagnosed with periodontitis who were randomly…

Nutritional intervention with a partially hydrolyzed formula during the first 6 months of life may reduce the risk of food allergy and atopic dermatitis up to the age of 5 years
CONCLUSION: In non-exclusively breastfed infants at high-risk for allergy, mixed-feeding with a specific whey-based pHF during the first 6 months of life may reduce the risk of atopic dermatitis and food allergy from birth up to the age of 5 years. However, further A.R.T. follow-ups and other longitudinal studies with larger sample size are needed…

Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effects of Metacognitive Training (MCT) in a Sample of Patients With Recent Onset Psychosis: Study of the Impact on the Severity and Dimensions of Delusions, Self-Esteem and Depression
CONCLUSIONS: In recent-onset psychosis patients, MCT demonstrated the expected benefits in conviction, as ‘sowing seeds of doubt’ is the core MCT mechanism of change. Despite functioning differently, both interventions improved patients’ self-esteem. No superiority of MCT was discovered in self-esteem or depression in the short-term follow-up studied.

Feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of a nurse-led palliative care health coaching intervention (Educate, Nurture, Advise before Life Ends) for patients with heart failure and their caregivers in Singapore: a randomised wait-list controlled pilot study of health coaching in Asian heart failure
CONCLUSIONS: Proportion of participants who completed health coaching was high, though proportion of approached participants who consented was lower than expected. Our acceptability and efficacy targets were met. Further phase III testing is planned.
