INTRODUCTION: Subdural haematomas (SDHs), acute or chronic, are common neurosurgical diagnoses. These problems can occur among patients requiring direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) for atrial fibrillation. There are currently no guidelines regarding the optimal timing to resume anticoagulation for these patients after SDH. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a…
BACKGROUND: Caregiver stress can pose serious health and psychological concerns, highlighting the importance of timely interventions for family caregivers of people with dementia. Single-session mindfulness-based interventions could be a promising yet under-researched approach to enhancing their mental well-being within their unpredictable, time-constrained contexts. This trial will evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of a blended mindfulness-based…
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we found that a self-guided digital family support intervention initiated at the time of a child’s T1D diagnosis was largely feasible and acceptable. Overall, rates of participation and module completion were similar to or higher than other self-guided digital prevention interventions for mental and physical health outcomes. Self-guided digital programs addressing…
CONCLUSIONS: App-based lifestyle interventions for GDM management are not common in LMICs, where GDM prevalence is rapidly increasing. This proof-of-concept trial will provide valuable insights into the potential of leveraging mHealth app-based platforms for GDM self-management in LMICs.
CONCLUSION: We confirmed and extended earlier research on PSM. Our study involved a specific pain population receiving a nonpharmacological intervention. Our results highlight the importance of targeting PSM and anxiety within a treatment to take measures to mitigate the prevalence of side effects.
CONCLUSION: The breast cancer digital tool had no statistically significant impact on patient activation, HRQoL, and health status over time compared to standard care alone in women with early-stage breast cancer. Future research should focus on identifying and addressing barriers to digital tool engagement to improve efficacy. Clinical trial information The study was registered at…
CONCLUSIONS: PBR is feasible and safe as a point-of-care test for LC1 pelvis fracture instability.
CONCLUSION: This substudy analysis supplements previous findings that revefenacin provides sustained bronchodilation over 24 hours. Assessing additional complementary COPD clinical trial endpoints can help clinicians make treatment decisions.
CONCLUSIONS: This study adds to the body of evidence indicating that care management interventions supporting patients as they transition from the inpatient to the outpatient sector can lower rehospitalizations, decrease length of rehospitalization stays, and improve adherence to post-discharge recommendations.
The effects of prolonged infrasound (IS) exposure on brain function and behavior are largely unknown, with only one prior study investigating functional connectivity (FC) changes. In a long-term randomized-controlled trial, 38 participants were exposed to inaudible airborne IS (6 Hz, 80-90 dB) or sham devices for four weeks (8 h/night). We assessed FC changes in…
