Safety and efficacy of niosomal and conventional tranexamic acid/niacinamide vs. hydroquinone creams in melasma: A randomized, double-blind, case-controlled clinical trial
Melasma is a common hyperpigmentary skin disorder. Because of its high prevalence and serious complications, including negative psychiatric effects, early diagnosis and treatment would be essential. This randomized, double-blind, case-controlled clinical trial compared the efficacy of niosomal tranexamic acid (TXA) 2%/niacinamide (NCA) 2% cream and conventional TXA 5%/NCA 4% cream with topical hydroquinone (HQ) 4%…

Prognostic impact of mitral regurgitation in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation: results from the CABANA trial
CONCLUSIONS: Among elderly patients with AF, msMR is associated with an increased risk of the primary composite endpoint of death, disabling stroke, serious bleeding or cardiac arrest.

Efficacy and safety of a mosaic HIV-1 vaccine regimen in men who have sex with men and transgender individuals (HVTN 706/HPX3002/Mosaico): a global, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial
BACKGROUND: There is a high unmet need for effective HIV prevention options, including vaccines, for individuals at high risk of HIV acquisition who choose not to use pre-exposure prophylaxis or other prevention strategies. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of an HIV-1 vaccine regimen consisting of tetravalent mosaic adenovirus serotype 26-based vaccine (Ad26.Mos4.HIV) and…

Complement system activation is associated with spinal radiographic progression in axial spondyloarthritis after 2 years of follow-up: findings from the CONSUL RCT
CONCLUSIONS: Complement activation marker C3dg, MASP-1 and MASP-3 levels before TNFi therapy predicted new bone formation after 2 years of follow-up among axSpA patients with a high risk of radiographic progression. Furthermore, levels of L-ficolin and C3dg at follow-up were elevated in axSpA patients with new bone formation. Our findings support an association between activation…

Enhancing Clinical Competencies Through Peer Role-Play in Oncology Graduate Students: Mixed Methods Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that peer role-play is an effective educational approach for developing clinical competencies in oncology graduate students, particularly in communication, empathy, and clinical reasoning. Role-play provides an engaging and practical learning experience, making it a valuable addition to clinical training programs aimed at enhancing patient-centered care skills in students.

Sustained improvements in spinal pain, morning stiffness, fatigue, sleep, physical function and overall health-related quality of life with bimekizumab in patients with axial spondyloarthritis: 2-year results from two phase 3 studies
CONCLUSIONS: Bimekizumab treatment resulted in sustained improvements in patient-reported symptoms and their impacts across the full disease spectrum of axSpA over 2 years, underscoring its long-term potential for improving patients’ daily lives.

Women with persistent atrial fibrillation need more than pulmonary vein isolation: personalised extra-pulmonary vein ablation strategy vs. pulmonary vein isolation alone in the TAILORED-AF trial
CONCLUSION: Compared to men, PVI-only in women with persistent AF leads to a significantly lower freedom from atrial arrhythmia. A personalised spatio-temporal dispersion-targeted ablation strategy led to a higher rate of freedom from any atrial arrhythmia than standard PVI after a single procedure in women and comparable outcomes between women and men.

Protocol for a randomized controlled trial on the impact of a health action process approach model-based mobile health intervention via WeChat on health behaviors of brucellosis patients
BACKGROUND: Brucellosis is a common zoonotic disease and a significant public health concern. Effective health management is essential for improving the self-management behaviors of brucellosis patients. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model in enhancing self-management among brucellosis patients.

The prediction of phototherapy by early postnatal ETCOc in Chinese newborns
CONCLUSIONS: A higher early postnatal ETCOc is linked with an increased risk of PT and PT characteristics within 7 DOLs. Early postnatal ETCOc can be a valuable indicator for predicting PT in early postnatal period.

Model-based planning is unaffected by ketamine, antidepressant and internet delivered cognitive behavioural therapy treatments in depression
Cognitive impairments have been observed in patients with depression. These include deficits in inhibition, shifting, and updating; cognitive processes that are critical for goal-directed control over behavior (‘model-based planning’). Nevertheless, results of model-based planning in depression have been mixed. We aimed to address this by taking a within-person approach, examining model-based planning before and after…
