Examining the Influence of Social Network Factors on Weight Loss Among Latina and Non-Hispanic White Breast Cancer Survivors: Observational Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: Latina and non-Hispanic White participants did not differ in weight loss. However, our findings regarding social network involvement and change in BMI show the importance of considering social network processes in weight loss among breast cancer survivors. These findings buttress existing research suggesting the benefits of social support, particularly within specific cultural frameworks, while…

Efficacy and safety of denosumab, zoledronic acid and alendronate on bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in men with osteoporosis
CONCLUSION: Denosumab, alendronate and zoledronic acid significantly and similarly reduced BTMs, increased BMD and TBS in men with osteoporosis, whether the gonadal function of patients was normal or decreased. Previous anti-bone resorption therapy may partially diminish the efficacy of denosumab.

A hybrid type 1 trial of a digital behaviour change intervention for frailty prevention in community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years and older
CONCLUSION: A DBCI promoting the adoption of AVOID behaviours among nonfrail, community-dwelling older people is effective in preventing frailty and improving QoL when implemented. Solving technical barriers and incorporating intelligent technologies could enhance impact.

A digital cognitive behavioural therapy programme for insomnia and anxiety in older adults: feasibility and preliminary efficacy
Insomnia and anxiety are highly prevalent and often comorbid in older adults. Although cognitive behavioural therapy is the first-line treatment for insomnia, few interventions simultaneously address both conditions. Furthermore, access remains limited by provider availability and high costs. To address these gaps, we developed an online CBT programme for insomnia and anxiety (eCBT+). This randomised…

Effect of diode laser pretreatment on dentin thickness and discoloration in deep caries treated with biodentine: a randomized clinical trial
Preserving pulp vitality in deep carious lesions remains a clinical challenge. Indirect pulp capping with bioactive calcium silicate materials such as Biodentine has shown favorable biological outcomes, while diode laser irradiation has been proposed as an adjunct to enhance hemostasis, disinfection, and pulpal healing. However, evidence regarding their combined use is limited. This randomized controlled…

The Effects of Pilates-Based Tele-Exercise on Physical and Mental Health in Primary Dysmenorrhea
CONCLUSION: The findings demonstrate that Pilates-based tele-exercises significantly enhance the overall health and well-being of women with primary dysmenorrhea. This is achieved through improved menstrual symptoms and positive changes in attitudes toward menstruation. These results suggest that PBTE could be an effective non-pharmacological approach to managing primary dysmenorrhea.
