Early essential newborn care for late preterm and term infants delivered by cesarean section: a randomized controlled trial on neonatal hypoglycemia and breastfeeding
CONCLUSION: The EENC improves neonatal glucose regulation and breastfeeding in cesarean-born late preterm and term infants, potentially enhancing neonatal health, maternal-infant bonding, and postpartum transition.

Feasibility trial of a transdiagnostic individual lifestyle evaluation and intervention (Lev-i) for health behavior change
CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that Lev-i is a feasible and acceptable intervention for promoting health behaviors among individuals with disabilities. However, further refinements may enhance feasibility for both patients and professionals before conducting a randomized controlled trial. ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05889936).

Interobserver agreement for the assessment of erosive reflux esophagitis: a post hoc analysis of clinical trial data
Interobserver agreement for the Los Angeles (LA) classification of erosive reflux esophagitis was good in validation studies, but limited agreement data exists from clinical trials (CTs). We conducted a post hoc evaluation of interobserver agreement between CT endoscopists and independent expert adjudicators in a multi-center, randomized controlled trial of a new acid suppression therapy. Trial…

Lidocaine Gel or Spray During Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Efficacy and Safety Randomized Controlled Evaluation of Topical Pharyngeal Anesthesia
CONCLUSION: Lidocaine Gel is considered safe, suitable and effective option and exhibiting better performance in reducing the incidence of gag reflex, with the ease of esophageal entrance shortening recovery time and improving patient and endoscopist satisfaction. Decrease total propofol consumption in patients undergoing UGIE compared to lidocaine spray.

Comparision of clinical and doppler assisted identification of saphenofemoral junction and peforators in varicose veins patients with intraoperative findings
CONCLUSION: Clinical examination remains dependable for identifying SFJ incompetence; however, Doppler ultrasound provides greater accuracy in detecting perforator incompetence. Incorporating Doppler routinely in preoperative evaluation can improve localization of incompe-tent veins, optimize surgical outcomes, and reduce recurrence rates in varicose vein management.

Genetic Testing for All Breast Cancer Patients: The GET FACTS Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, patients more accurately described their calculated CBC risk after quantitative counseling. This improved knowledge did not impact decisions to undergo CPM. The CBC risk assessment tool is publicly available and can be used for preoperative discussions.

Efficacy of Topical Nepafenac Versus Nepafenac With Perioperative Cyclopentolate for Pain Management After Photorefractive Keratectomy: A Comparative Clinical Evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: Contrary to theoretical expectations, adding cyclopentolate to nepafenac therapy worsened postoperative pain outcomes after PRK. For optimal pain management, a regimen of nepafenac alone appears superior to the combination therapy approach.

Pathogenetic and therapeutic approaches to the correction of neurocognitive disorders in patients with chronic brucellosis
CONCLUSION: The prescription of a course of infusion neuroprotective therapy with Cytoflavin contributes to a significant clinical improvement in patients with inactive chronic brucellosis with significant positive dynamics of cognitive functioning parameters assessed using MoCA testing and health indicators according to the SF-36 questionnaire.

Effects of Short-Term Intensive Insulin Therapy Combined With Oral Hypoglycemic Agents for Inducing Remission in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Oral hypoglycemic agents facilitated SIIT implementation and enhanced transient improvements in glycemic control. However, similar 12-month diabetes remission rates suggest prolonged sequential therapy may be needed for sustained glycemic benefit.

Participants’ Perspectives on Health Impact, Barriers and Facilitators to Adherence in a Mediterranean Diet Lifestyle Trial
Background/Objectives: Interventions promoting the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) and healthy lifestyle behaviours are effective and cost-efficient in preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), yet sustaining adherence remains challenging. This study explored perceived health impacts on, barriers to, and facilitators of adherence among older Spanish adults participating in a randomised clinical trial (RCT) based on the MedDiet and lifestyle…
