- The study explores how a sensory support intervention (SSI) program impacts quality of life in individuals with mild-to-moderate dementia who also have hearing and vision difficulties.
- Researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial across seven clinics in five European countries, evaluating the effectiveness of an 18-week program compared to standard care.
- The primary outcome measured was changes in health-related quality of life, using the Dementia Quality of Life Instrument (DEMQoL), with a total of 252 participants randomly assigned to either the SSI group or a control group receiving usual care.
Impacts of three inspiratory muscle training programs on inspiratory muscles strength and endurance among intubated and mechanically ventilated patients with difficult weaning: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Background: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is well-established as a safe option for combating inspiratory muscles weakness in the intensive care setting. It could improve inspiratory muscle strength and decrease weaning duration but a lack of knowledge on the optimal training regimen raise to inconsistent results. We made the hypothesis that an innovative mixed intensity program for both endurance and strength improvement could be more effective.

Aging is associated with cognitive changes, even in the absence of brain pathology. This study aimed to determine if meditation training, by comparison to active and passive control groups, is linked to changes in the perception of cognitive functioning in older adults. One hundred thirty-four healthy older participants from the Age-Well Randomized Clinical Trial were included: 45 followed a meditation training, 45 a non-native language training and 44 had no intervention.

- The BEAT PAROX-AF trial is a European study comparing pulsed field ablation (PFA) with radiofrequency (RF) ablation for treating drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), focusing on efficacy and safety.
- A total of 292 participants were randomly assigned to either PFA or RF using specific protocols to measure outcomes such as the recurrence of atrial arrhythmia and serious adverse events.
- The study began in December 2021 and will conclude recruitment in January 2024, with results expected to be published in mid-2025, aiming to improve treatment strategies for patients with paroxysmal AF.
