BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent, chronic musculoskeletal disorder that impairs mobility and quality of life. Personalized patient education aims to improve self-management and adherence; yet, its delivery is often limited by time const...
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) represent significant concerns for patients undergoing surgical procedures, as these symptoms greatly impact their postoperative experience. Among female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, the incidence...
BACKGROUND: In people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β-agonist (ICS/LABA) therapy, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) recommends stepping up to ICS/long-acting mu...
Addictive behaviour is shaped by the dynamic interaction of implicit, bottom-up and explicit, top-down cognitive processes. In alcohol use disorder (AUD), implicit alcohol-related associations have been shown to predict increased subsequent alcohol c...
The specificity and sensitivity of a simple non-invasive multi-cancer screening method in detecting breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancer in breath samples were evaluated in a double-blind study. Breath samples of 1386 participants (59.7% mal...

BACKGROUND: Although transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has been suggested as a safe and feasible intervention for gait rehabilitation, no studies have determined its effectiveness compared to sham stimulation.
Although pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become the cornerstone ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF), the optimal ablation procedure for persistent and long-standing persistent AF remains elusive. Targeting spatio-temporal electrogram d...
