CONCLUSIONS: The APPROACH intervention was successfully implemented and shows promise for increasing brisk walking, potentially through promoting habit formation and enabling self-monitoring. Contextual factors will be important to consider when interpreting outcomes in the larger APPROACH randomized controlled trial.
Background: Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in traumatized refugees and often persist despite treatment, and adapted scalable interventions are needed. The group intervention ‘Sleep Training adapted for Refugees’ (STARS) is a culturally- and context-sensitive approach based on evidence-based treatments for sleep disturbances (e.g. CBT-I, IRT). This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of STARS.Method:…
focused on patients living with metastatic cancer. We examined the feasibility of the SleepNow intervention combining cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) with physical exercise in men with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa).
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of the monitoring dietary biomarkers and providing vegetable juice was suggested to be effective in improving dietary habits and metabolic syndrome components including waist circumference in Mongolian adults with an overweight or obese BMI.
CONCLUSIONS: Early fast-track care was associated with high levels of viral suppression among adults initiating same-day TLD, despite severe civil unrest in Haiti. Completion of 48-week viral load testing was suboptimal, due to the need for participants to leave Port-au-Prince during peak periods of gang-related violence, and the lack of availability of viral load testing…
CONCLUSION: A 10-min isometric core stabilisation exercise results in local lumbar EIH, while no systemic effects are observed. A higher degree of catastrophizing is associated with lower hypoalgesic responses.
BACKGROUND: Children in out-of-home care constitute a vulnerable population often experiencing mental health challenges related to early adversity and placement disruptions. The Circle of Security Parenting program^(®) (COS-P) is an attachment-based intervention designed to enhance carer sensitivity and reflective competence, ultimately improving the quality of carer-child relationships.
This trial aimed to identify the effects of providing pharmacogenomic (PGx) results and recommendations for patients with chronic pain treated in primary care practices compared to standard care. An open-label, prospective, largely virtual, type-2 hybrid effectiveness trial randomized participants to PGx or standard care arms. Adults with pain ≥ 3 months who were treated with…
In myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), cytogenetic characteristics of the malignant bone marrow cells influence the clinical course. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether cytogenetics is useful to predict outcome and response in patients with del(5q) under azacitidine (AZA) ± lenalidomide (LEN) therapy. We therefore performed comprehensive cytogenetic analyses in MDS patients with del(5q)…
This study examined whether an emotion socialisation parenting program, Tuning in to Toddlers (TOTS), contributed to observed improvements in mother-toddler emotional availability. Parents of toddlers aged 18-36 months were recruited through childcare centres and maternal child health centres in Melbourne, Australia and were allocated to either an intervention or a waitlist control condition in a…
