Weight-related discussions during childhood may have long-lasting effects on children’s body image and well-being.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this secondary analysis of the ELEKT-D randomized clinical trial of ECT vs ketamine, greater improvement in depression was observed with intravenous ketamine among outpatients with nonpsychotic TRD who had moderately severe or severe depression, suggesting that these patients may consider ketamine over ECT for TRD.
CONCLUSIONS: In this phase 1/2 trial, AVT001 did not result in dose-limiting adverse events. Potential signals of efficacy observed here warrant further evaluation in a fully powered trial. (Funded by Avotres Inc. and the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03895996.).
Background Diagnosing osteoporosis is challenging due to its often asymptomatic presentation, which highlights the importance of providing screening for high-risk populations. Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) screening in high-risk patients with osteoporosis identified by an artificial intelligence (AI) model using chest radiographs. Materials and Methods This randomized controlled trial conducted…
CONCLUSION: The relative suppression of event rates and antipyretic medications taken, and significant decrease of subclinical BT support the anti-inflammatory effects of cR in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with COVID-19.
CONCLUSION: Robotic-assisted surgery is feasible for locally advanced rectal cancer when strict surgeon criteria are used.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cluster randomized clinical trial of adding internet and telephone support to a practitioner review for possible antidepressant discontinuation, depression was slightly better with support, but the rate of discontinuation of antidepressants did not significantly increase. Improvements in antidepressant withdrawal symptoms and mental well-being were also small. There were no significant…
