Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a web-based cognitive-behavioral therapy program called "Fatigue In Teenagers on the interNET" with videocall-delivered activity management for adolescents aged 11-17 with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Adolescents in the trial received either treatment for six months, and the effectiveness was measured using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey Physical Function subscale.
- The trial involved random assignment of 314 adolescents, although participants and their families could not be blinded to their treatment group.
Assessing direct fitness effects of individual genetic diversity is challenging due to the intensive and long-term data needed to quantify survival and reproduction in the wild. But resolving these effects is necessary to determine how inbreeding and outbreeding influence eco-evolutionary processes. We used 8 years of capture-recapture data and single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes for 1906 individuals to test for effects of individual heterozygosity on stage-specific survival probabilities in the salamander Gyrinophilus porphyriticus.

Many stream-associated species have multistage life histories that are likely to influence the demographic consequences of floods and droughts. However, tracking stage-specific demographic responses requires high-resolution, long-term data that are rare.

Objective: The objective was to determine whether or not a standardised and manualised care intervention delivered in primary care achieves superior symptomatic outcome for lower urinary tract symptoms to usual care.
Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluated online resources for blunt chest trauma (BCT) to see if they are accessible in terms of readability and visual design for the general public.
- - 85 websites were assessed, revealing that while many had acceptable readability and visual scores, many also had higher than recommended readability levels and poor visual quality.
- - Recommendations include using simpler language, shorter sentences, and more images to enhance comprehension and appearance of these medical resources.
