Article Synopsis
  • The phase 2 chronic pain master protocol (CPMP) aims to improve the research and development of new pain medications by efficiently testing various drugs across three types of pain: nociceptive, neuropathic, and mixed pain.
  • The study is designed with predetermined statistical methods to optimize results and was accepted by the FDA for its innovative approach, which also minimizes the exposure of participants to placebo and reduces overall sample sizes.
  • This protocol allows for simultaneous evaluation of multiple pain treatments, direct comparisons of their effectiveness, and faster clinical study processes, ultimately leading to a more effective assessment of new pain therapies.

Article Synopsis
  • Many people regain weight after weight-loss programs, but extended-care programs could help maintain that weight loss over time, even if the effect isn’t huge.
  • This study aimed to compare two types of extended-care phone sessions: ADAPTIVE (when at high risk of regaining weight) versus STATIC (a regular monthly check-in) for better long-term results.
  • The findings from Project STAR will reveal if the ADAPTIVE schedule is more effective for maintaining weight loss and will also contribute to future strategies for preventing weight regain.

Research on mathematical cognition, learning, and instruction (MCLI) often takes cognition as its point of departure and considers instruction at a later point in the research cycle. In this article, we call for psychologists who study MCLI to reflect on the "status quo" of their research practices and to consider making instruction an earlier and more central aspect of their work. We encourage scholars of MCLI (a) to consider the needs of educators and schools when selecting research questions and developing interventions; (b) to compose research teams that are diverse in the personal, disciplinary, and occupational backgrounds of team members; (c) to make efforts to broaden participation in research and to conduct research in authentic settings; and (d) to communicate research in ways that are accessible to practitioners and to the general public.

Background: Telework adoption in Taiwan has surged because of government guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the disclosure practices of Taiwanese-listed companies, assessing their adherence to government telework guidelines and their correlation with corporate governance, focusing on occupational health measures.

Methods: We conducted a guideline-adherent cohort analysis of the 2020 and 2021 sustainability reports of 295 Taiwanese-listed companies.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed 5804 days of Super-Kamiokande data from 1996 to 2018 to detect variations in solar ^{8}B neutrino flux.
  • The researchers utilized a five-day interval measurement approach and employed maximum likelihood and Lomb-Scargle methods to find any periodic modulations.
  • They found a significant modulation related to Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun, with measurements of eccentricity and perihelion shift aligning with astronomical data.
