Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of Reduction in Tumor Burden on Survival in Epithelioid Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma.
To understand the relationship between response and survival in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). ⋯ Our findings indicate that reduction in tumor burden or disease stabilization determined using modified pleural Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors is strongly associated with OS and PFS in epithelioid MPM.

Randomized Controlled TrialExperimental Weight Gain Increases Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Healthy Subjects: Implications of Visceral Fat Accumulation.
To examine whether experimentally induced weight gain raises ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in healthy subjects and identify any relationship between changes in BP and changes in regional fat distribution. ⋯ Modest weight gain causes elevation in 24-hour BP in healthy subjects. The association between increased BP and abdominal visceral fat accumulation suggests that visceral deposition of adipose tissue may contribute specifically to the enhanced risk of hypertension associated with weight gain.

Randomized Controlled TrialSix-month Efficacy of Perineural Dextrose for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial.
To assess the 6-month effectiveness of ultrasound-guided perineural injection therapy (PIT) using 5% dextrose (D5W) in patients with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). ⋯ Our study reveals that ultrasound-guided PIT with D5W is an effective treatment for patients with mild-to-moderate CTS.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of a Sedentary Behavior-Inducing Randomized Controlled Intervention on Depression and Mood Profile in Active Young Adults.
To examine the effects of a free-living, sedentary behavior-inducing randomized controlled intervention on depression and mood profile. ⋯ A 1-week sedentary behavior-inducing intervention has deleterious effects on depression and mood. To prevent mental health decline in active individuals, consistent regular physical activity may be necessary.

Randomized Controlled Trial Pragmatic Clinical TrialCardiac Rehabilitation Program Adherence and Functional Capacity Among Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare program adherence and functional capacity between women referred to supervised mixed-sex, supervised women-only, or home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR). ⋯ Offering women alternative program models may not promote greater CR adherence or functional capacity; however, replication is warranted. Other proven strategies such as action planning and self-monitoring should be applied.
