Acceptability and implementation potential of a health literacy intervention to increase colorectal cancer screening in deprived areas: A qualitative study of patients and general practitioners participating in a cluster randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Our findings emphasize the need to tailor promotional materials for both patients and healthcare professionals to improve CCR screening uptake, balancing digital efficiency with maintaining core human relationships in healthcare. Such intervention can be integrated into different workflows. The addition of video into national CRC screening programs might also help. Targeting CRC screening interventions…

The Impact of Clustered Care on Itch Severity and Sleep Quality in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis via an Online Platform
This study investigated the efficacy of clustered care delivered via an online platform for adult atopic dermatitis patients. Ninety-eight atopic dermatitis patients from the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University (May 2022-May 2024) were randomly assigned to a study group (online clustered care) or a control group (routine care), with 49 in each. Outcomes, including…

Guided Internet-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Women With Bulimia Nervosa: A Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, the intervention group experienced a significant decrease in bulimia symptoms compared with the control group, supporting the effectiveness and acceptability of the therapist-guided ICBT program. These findings suggest that integration of therapist-guided ICBT in usual care has the potential to improve accessibility to efficacious treatment options for…

Effect analysis of flexible bronchoscopy in thoracoscopic surgery for congenital pulmonary airway malformation
The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of flexible bronchoscopy (FB) in thoracoscopic surgery for congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) in pediatric patients. We randomly divided the CPAM patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery at our hospital from May 2022 to January 2024 into 2 groups based on whether they received FB…

Set configuration influences cardiovascular responses to resistance exercise in postmenopausal females in a randomized crossover trial from the CARE project
This study evaluated the acute cardiovascular responses to resistance exercise (RE) sessions with different set configurations in normotensive and hypertensive postmenopausal females. 50 physically active postmenopausal females performed a control (CON) and three RE sessions matched for total volume (144 repetitions), load (12-repetition maximum load), and total rest time (360s) but differing in set configuration:…

Deciphering differential biomarkers for anti-interleukin-6 receptor and anti-tumour necrosis factor-α treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis by multiomics analysis
CONCLUSION: The unbiased analysis of serum proteins identified biomarkers most predictive of anti-IL-6R and anti-TNF-α at different timepoints that could explain the difference in the response rate in patients with RA. Further, both biomarker and pathway results highlighted a differentiated mode of action of both treatments.

Within-Trial Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Family-Based Structured Lifestyle Modification Intervention Program for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: Results from the PROLIFIC Trial
CONCLUSIONS: A family-based structured lifestyle modification program yields a net gain in quality of life and is cost-effective at a three times gross domestic product per capita threshold. The intervention is expected to be relatively more cost-effective when scaled up to larger populations over longer time horizons. The intervention has the potential for a substantial…

Electroceutical enhancement of self-compassion training using transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation: results from a preregistered fully factorial randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: tVNS augmented the effects of SC-MIT and might, therefore, be a useful strategy for enhancing meditation-based psychotherapies. Our findings also highlight the value of oculomotor attentional metrics as responsive markers of self-compassion training and the continued need for sensitive indices of successful vagal stimulation.
