Clinical trial of press needle therapy with low-dose atropine for mild myopia in children
CONCLUSION: Periocular acupuncture with low dose atropine solution (.01%) seems to be a safe and more effective method as compared with conventional treatment alone for controlling mild myopia in children. Large scale trials should be conducted for validating these findings.

Prognostic value of T-lymphocyte subsets, lymphocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio, interleukin 6, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin in patients with septic shock and effects of vitamin C on patients with septic shock
CONCLUSION: The combination of LHR, IL-6, CRP, PCT and CD4+/CD8+ has prognostic value. Vitamin C adjunct therapy significantly enhances hemodynamic improvement, reduces inflammation, lowers SOFA scores and improves prognosis in septic shock patients.

Effectiveness and safety of alprostadil injection in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes complications
CONCLUSION: Alprostadil injection as an adjunctive therapy for T2DM-related DF or DPN exhibits significant efficacy and good safety. It not only enhances the overall therapeutic response but also effectively improves lipid metabolism disorders, with a low incidence of adverse events.

Ultra-Early Continuous ECG Monitoring for Silent Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis in Cryptogenic Stroke: The CRIPTOFAST Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: An ILR implanted early after CS improves the detection of PAF compared to standard care. Individuals with abnormal LA features may benefit the most from ILR.

Impact of Xpert® Carba-R-based screening for carbapenem-resistant organisms on infection-related mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed a positive effect of more rapid CRO colonization screening using rectal swabs with Xpert Carba-R and culture, which can guide potent CRO preemptive therapy for subsequent infections based on the detected carbapenemase mechanism, thereby reducing mortality and the spread of CRO infection in HSCT patients.

Regional multi-center randomized trial of three vonoprazan-amoxicillin dosing regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication in Sichuan Province, China
CONCLUSION: VPZ-AMO dual therapy achieved excellent eradication, safety, and patient compliance. All regimens were similarly effective, whereas the 0.5 g QID dosing strategy offered the most favorable balance of efficacy and tolerability, supporting its use as a first-line option in high-prevalence settings.

Functional, Radiological, and Scapular Motion Evaluation of Surgical Versus Nonsurgical Treatment of Type 3 Acromioclavicular Dislocations: A Randomized Controlled Trial With 24 months’ Follow-up
CONCLUSION: Surgical management of type 3 AC joint dislocations resulted in similar DASH scores and range of motion compared with nonoperative management, although some secondary outcomes-including higher UCLA scores and cosmetic satisfaction scores-favored surgery.The trial was registered in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (RBR-4r6jhy6).

Telehealth insulin titration in adults with diabetes: a randomized controlled trial comparing bluetooth-enabled versus traditional glucometers
CONCLUSION: BTG did not demonstrate glycemic superiority over TG in telehealth insulin titration; however, its association with reduced emergency department visits suggests potential benefits for healthcare utilization. Future studies should investigate the integration of BTG with comprehensive diabetes care platforms, with a focus on long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness.

Clinical effectiveness of early surgical fixation versus cast immobilization for adults with a scaphoid waist fracture: five-year follow-up of the Scaphoid Waist Internal Fixation for Fractures Trial
CONCLUSION: The clinical effectiveness of the two forms of treatment remained similar at five years. The recommendation that adult patients with a fracture of the waist of the scaphoid which is displaced by ≤ 2 mm should be treated inially with immobilization in a cast, followed by early fixation of a nonunion, is further corroborated…

Impact of Real-Time, On-Demand Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Testing at Point-of-Care on Antibiotic Prescribing and Clinical Outcome in Pediatric Outpatients With Acute Respiratory Illness: A Prospective, Quasi-Randomized, Controlled Study
CONCLUSIONS: Use of Xpert Xpress Flu/RSV at point-of-care in pediatric outpatients with ARI reduced antibiotic prescription, which has the potential to improve antibiotic stewardship.
