Effects of cognitive rehabilitation and exercise on brain structure in progressive multiple sclerosis: results from the CogEx trial
CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis showed a decrease in brain volumes and limited effects of the combined CR + EX intervention, indicating that the previously found cortical GM increase was not superimposable at voxel level. Methodological and sampling differences between the studies could explain these discrepancies. In few cognitively relevant areas, the combined CR interventions might have…

Preventive Efficacy of Oxygenation on Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in Chronic Kidney Disease (stages 3-5) Patients Undergoing Elective Coronary Angiography Revascularisation: An Open Label Bicentric Randomised Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: Oxygen supplementation and saline hydration effectively prevented CA-AKI in CKD stages 3-5 patients undergoing elective CAG ± R. Hence, oxygen therapy should be a standard CA-AKI protective strategy during CAG ± R and radiocontrast-related procedures.

tDCS and Speech Therapy in Aphasia Treatment: A Multicenter Comparative Study of Efficacy
BACKGROUND Aphasia is a common consequence of stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) that significantly impairs communication and quality of life. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a non-invasive technique potentially enhancing language rehabilitation. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tDCS in combination with speech-language therapy (SLT) in improving language functions…

Effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy as an adjunct to surface spinal stimulation and activity-based therapy in compressive cervical myelopathy: a parallel group, non-blinded randomized controlled trial
To reverse the progression of compressive cervical myelopathy (CCM) by repairing injured nerve tissue, improving sensory integration, balance, disability, and quality of life (QoL) with Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) as an adjunct to Surface Spinal Stimulation (SSS) and Activity-Based Therapy (ABT). Thirty-two individuals in the age group between, 20 and 65 years diagnosed with sub-acute CCM…

Impact of an interdisciplinary digital consultation platform on general practitioner referrals for musculoskeletal symptoms: a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial
CONCLUSIONS: We observed a modest increase in appropriate referrals for orthopaedic review among GP practices randomized to the platform. On a larger scale, this could contribute to more sustainable access to specialist care.
