Although the use of resveratrol is widespread, there is a lack of studies concerning its use in older adults who practice regular physical activity. The present study aimed to evaluate how resveratrol...
A prospective, comparative clinical pilot study was carried out based on convenience non-probability sampling. Resveratrol 300 mg/daily/60 days was orally-administered to 43 participants that were reg...
The effect of resveratrol and exercise was not significant in most of the parameters evaluated in the study. Nonetheless, both systolic (p = 0.0120) and diastolic (p = 0.0241) blood pressures (BP) wer...
Present findings showed that resveratrol consumption for sedentary older women could lead to dysregulated blood pressure. Although resveratrol consumption is indicated to treat inflammation, its use m...
Psychotropic medications are frequently prescribed during acute care, even in older patients. They represent a risk for inappropriate long-term use and increase the overall risk of morbidity and morta...
We conducted a prospective, observational pilot study in patients aged 75 years and older, admitted to a surgical unit with at least one active prescription of a psychotropic medication (antipsychotic...
Among 183 patients, 93.4% were eligible for a potential deprescription. A total of 298 prescriptions were evaluated by the stewardship pharmacists, of which 57.7% were antipsychotics, 22.8% were benzo...

Undergraduate medical students often lack hands-on research experience and fundamental scientific research skills, limiting their exposure to the practical aspects of scientific investigation. The Cer...
The primary goal of this initiative was to enhance medical students' research output by enabling them to generate and publish peer-reviewed papers within the framework of this pilot project. The proje...
In January 2022, a total of 30 volunteer students from various Turkish medical schools participated in this course-based undergraduate research experience program. Students self-organized into 2 group...
Based on student feedback, the project timeline was adjusted to allow for greater flexibility in meeting deadlines. Despite these adjustments, participants successfully completed their tasks, applying...
This initiative leverages globally accessible resources for research training, effectively fostering research competency among participants. It has successfully demonstrated the potential for undergra...
The new dental licensing regulations provide for a professional field internship to give students an initial, comprehensive insight into their later professional field. The location, implementation an...
A controlled intervention study (one measurement point) was conducted with 21 fourth-semester students (two groups with and without e‑learning module) and 20 dental practices. The students received do...
Students and practices were satisfied with the organisation, the documents provided and the process. The e‑learning module was well received. The format of the internship report proved to be impractic...

Eligible participants were 18 years or above and self-identified as transgender ("hijra"). One oral fluid HIVST kit per person was distributed free of cost in the community by trained transgender peer...
Between November 2020 and February 2021, 150 HIVST kits were distributed to eligible TGs. The average age of participants was 25.5 years (standard deviation: 7.0). Over a third (52, 34.7%) had no form...
HIVST is acceptable among TGs and identified by first-time testers as undiagnosed infections. Peer-led distribution appears to be a feasible approach for implementation in this setting. HIVST should b...
School closures have been used as part of lockdown strategies to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2, adversely affecting children's health and education. To ensure the accessibility of educational insti...
We conducted a pilot project in Cologne, Germany, designed to determine the feasibility of a large-scale rollout of the Lolli-Method for testing without any additional on-site medical staff in schools...
