A total of 149 patients (195 nodules) were enrolled in the study. A total of 167 of 195 nodules (85.64%) and 169 of 195 nodules (86.67%) were obtained adequate specimens using the S+ and S- methods, r...
Thyroid FNA without a stylet is non-inferior to thyroid FNA with a stylet on specimen sampling....
There is minimal research on the effect of individualized preoperative education on postoperative pain and postoperative pain medication intake....
The study objective was to assess the effect of individually tailored preoperative education on postoperative pain severity, number of pain breakthroughs, and use of pain medication in participants re...
A pilot study with 200 participants was conducted. The experimental group received an informational booklet and discussed their ideas surrounding pain and pain medication with the researcher. Controls...
In the participant cohort, 68.8% of participants were male, and the average age was 60.48±10.7. Average postoperative 48-hour cumulative pain scores were lower in those who received the intervention c...
Participants who receive individualized preoperative pain education are more likely to have decreased postoperative pain....
(1) Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess patients' and practitioners' reported experience measures (PREMs) following a first standard orthodontic consultation (face-to-face consultation) versu...
Excessive crying, sleeping, and feeding problems in early childhood are major stressors that can result in parents feeling socially isolated and having low self-efficacy. Affected children are a risk ...
We aimed to investigate whether following the use of a newly developed psychoeducational app, the parents of children with crying, sleeping, or feeding problems experienced less parenting stress; gain...
Our clinical sample consisted of 136 parents of children (aged 0-24 months) who contacted a cry baby outpatient clinic in Bavaria (Southern Germany) for an initial consultation. Using a randomized con...
The mean individual study duration was 23.41 (SD 10.42) days. The IG reported significantly lower levels of parenting stress (mean 83.18, SD 19.94) after app use compared with the WCG (mean 87.46, SD ...
This study provides initial evidence of the efficacy of a psychoeducational app for parents with child crying, sleeping, and feeding problems. By reducing parental stress and increasing knowledge of c...

The risk of older adults being injured or killed in a bicycle accident increases significantly due to the age-related decline of physical function. Therefore, targeted interventions for older adults t...
The "Safer Cycling in Older Age" (SiFAr) randomized controlled trial investigated if a progressive multi-component training program related to cycling improves CC of older adults. Between June 2020 an...
96 participants (73.4 ± 5.1 years; 59.4% female) were analyzed for primary outcome. Compared to the aCG (n = 49), the IG (n = 47) made an average of 2.37 fewer errors in the cycle course after the 3 m...
The SiFAr program increases cycling skills among older adults with self-perceived needs for improvement in CC and could easily be made available to a broad public due to its standardized structure and...
This study was registered with clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04362514 (27/04/2020), https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04362514 ....
Rapid weight gain and overweight in infancy are associated with childhood obesity. Thus, effective, accessible interventions to promote healthy infant feeding practices to prevent early obesity are es...
This mixed-methods study involved diverse parents of infants in an urban, low-income pediatric clinic. Qualitative interviews explored parental attitudes towards feeding, early obesity, and communicat...
Participants in the interviews were 15 parents of infants less than 1 month old. RCT participants were 38 parents of newborns (17 control; 21 intervention). Most parents in the qualitative evaluation ...
Text messaging has potential to extend the healthcare provider's communication beyond clinic. However, texting interventions should be flexible to mitigate barriers such as loss of phone service and c...
