Introduction: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is prevalent and distressing among survivors of cancer. Evidence-based mind-body and cognitive-behavioral skills lack integration and testing in scalable formats.
Objective: This pilot randomized controlled trial (NCT04876599) tested a synchronous, virtual mind-body group resiliency intervention for FCR (IN FOCUS).

Objective: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic and debilitating illness with symptoms such as post-exertional malaise and cognitive dysfunction that can be challenging for patients to manage independently. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have examined mind-body and psychological approaches that teach patients coping skills for mitigating ME/CFS symptoms, including emerging literature on Qigong or Tai Chi instruction programs. This systematic review aims to summarize the characteristics of these trials and highlight potential areas for future optimization and refinement.

- Concussions are common among young adults and can lead to persistent symptoms complicated by anxiety, which may affect recovery; a new program called TOR-C is designed to address both issues to improve outcomes after concussion.
- The study involved five young adults participating in four weekly video sessions with a clinician, focusing on various psychological factors and measuring symptoms and feelings before, after, and three months later.
- Results showed high feasibility and satisfaction, with strong adherence rates to the treatment and homework; most participants found the program credible and beneficial, indicating its potential for helping with concussion recovery.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the Toolkit for Optimal Recovery after Concussion (TOR-C) and its effectiveness in preventing continuous concussion symptoms in young adults with anxiety compared to an active control group (HE-C).
- A total of 50 participants aged 18-35, who had suffered a concussion within the last 3-10 weeks and displayed anxiety, engaged in four 45-minute Zoom sessions focused on different interventions.
- Results showed that both intervention groups met feasibility benchmarks and experienced notable improvements in various outcomes like concussion symptoms and anxiety levels, with the TOR-C group specifically showing greater progress in certain areas like mindfulness and all-or-nothing behavior.
The use of dietary supplements by patients with chronic liver disease is prevalent and rising. Despite the known risks of dietary supplements, including hepatotoxicity, adulteration, and contamination, patients with chronic liver disease often turn to dietary supplements to support their liver and/or overall health but are not necessarily empowered with the information or guidance from their liver practitioner to do so. This article provides practitioners with a framework for balancing the risks and benefits of dietary supplements in patients with chronic liver disease, offering examples of independent resources and certifications to use this framework in clinical practice.
