Probiotic Supplementation Reduces RRTIs and Enhances Gut Microbial and Immunity in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs) are a major cause of morbidity in children, and strain-defined probiotics have been proposed as a supportive preventive strategy, although clinical evidence remains limited. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 120 children diagnosed with RRTIs received either Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CCFM8661 or a matched placebo…

Effect of Bioptron light therapy on dryness of eyes in postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial
To examine the short-term therapeutic effects of Bioptron light therapy (BLT) on dry eye disease (DED) in postmenopausal women. Sixty postmenopausal women diagnosed with DED, aged 50-62 years with a body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m², were randomly assigned to two equal groups. The Bioptron group (n = 30) received BLT for 10 min, twice…

Niacin Modulates Immune Responses in a Phase I Dose-Escalation Clinical Trial of Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Glioblastoma, a highly aggressive and uniformly lethal brain tumor, resists current treatments and immunotherapies by creating a potently immunosuppressive microenvironment. The objective of this study was to determine whether niacin modulates systemic immunity in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

Risk factors for revictimization during treatment in patients with co-occurring SUD and PTSD
Introduction: A host of cross-sectional studies have identified problematic substance use and post-traumatic stress symptoms as risk factors for repeated interpersonal violence (revictimization) in college samples. However, it remains unclear which factors are associated with revictimization for patients who meet diagnostic criteria for both substance use disorder (SUD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The identification…
