We compared the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative outcomes, according to the remifentanil infusion method, during surgery in patients with a high-risk of PONV....
Ninety patients undergoing elective gynecological pelviscopic surgery were randomly allocated to either target-controlled infusion (TCI, T) or manual (M) infusion. The primary outcome was the incidenc...
Forty-four patients in the T group and 45 patients in the M group were analyzed. The total dose of remifentanil infusion was significantly higher in the T group (T group: 0.093 (0.078-0.112) μg/kg/min...
Although the total remifentanil infusion dose was higher in the T group than in the M group, the postoperative outcomes were similar. If stable vital signs are desired during tracheal intubation, remi...
Previous reviews reported that the effects of CoQ10 on glycemic control were inconsistent. There is no review exploring the optimal intake of CoQ10 for glycemic control. We aimed to investigate the ef...
Databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were searched to identify RCTs for investigating the efficacy of CoQ10 on fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR up to March 12, 2022. We...

This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) soft contact lens for myopia control in children....
A prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, contralateral-eye comparison clinical trial was conducted in 72 children (40 male and 32 female) aged 9 to 14 years, with eac...
At week 52, the mean change in SER was significantly lower with the experimental lens (-0.70 ± 0.49 D) than with the control lens (-0.88 ± 0.51 D; P < .001). The mean AXL elongation was significantly ...
The results of this 1-year clinical trial demonstrate that the experimental EDOF soft contact lens slows myopia progression and reduces AXL elongation in children compared with a single-vision contact...
To examine short-term (i.e., postintervention) outcomes from a randomized controlled trial comparing a school-based telehealth-delivered depression prevention program, Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adol...
Adolescents (...
Hierarchical linear models showed that adolescents reported significant reductions in depression symptoms and impairment across conditions. IPT-AST adolescents reported significantly greater reduction...
Results support telehealth-delivered IPT-AST as a promising intervention for improving short-term outcomes among adolescents with depression symptoms but without a depression diagnosis. (PsycInfo Data...
Ciprofol, a recently developed anesthetic agent, is not inferior to propofol in terms of efficacy and safety. However, most previous clinical experience with ciprofol was based on a robust population....
This prospective randomized controlled trial included patients with frailty undergoing elective general anesthesia for gynecological surgery. Frailty was assessed using the modified frailty index. The...
Among the 69 enrolled patients with frailty, 67 were included in the final analysis. The success rate of anesthesia induction was 100% in both groups. The lowest SBP was significantly higher in the ci...
The results of this study suggest that the efficacy of ciprofol for inducing general anesthesia in patients with frailty is comparable to that of propofol, with more stable hemodynamics....

Twenty-three adults with ABI (82.6% stroke; 17 males; mean age of 59.6±10.3 yr) INTERVENTION: Participants received either sET+UC (n=11) or UC (n=12). The sET+UC group received sixteen 60-minute sessi...
Primary outcome measures were health-related quality of life (Short Form-36, SF-36) and upper limb motor control (Fugl Meyer-Upper Extremity; FM-UE), while the secondary included functional capacity (...
Significant differences were found in all outcome analyses at post-intervention when comparing between groups. The sET+UC group showed significant improvements in both the physical (p=.027, r=.46) and...
This study shows that a sport-based exercise therapy program combined with usual care can effectively improve all the aforementioned outcomes measures in ABI population. Further research with larger s...
In addition to attention and hyperactivity problems, children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have poorer organizational skills needed to manage time and materials. This study exa...
