Computed tomography morphomics and antifibrotic therapy in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Aim: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating and fatal lung disease. Changes in body composition potentially correlate with outcomes in patients with IPF.

Materials And Methods: Patients with IPF on antifibrotic treatment attending a single institution were identified and retrospectively evaluated (n=84).

PTSD Coach as an early mobile intervention to improve cancer-related anxiety and psychosocial oncology uptake in patients newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer: pilot randomized controlled trial.

Background: This pilot study aimed to provide supportive evidence for the feasibility of conducting a full-scale intervention trial with patients newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer (HNC). This included assessing the acceptability and potential usefulness of the PTSD Coach mobile app as an early self-management intervention that gives information about anxiety symptoms, offers self-assessment of symptoms with feedback, tools to self-manage anxiety, and connects to support.

Methods: A three-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted.

Creative Arts Therapy Reduces Psychological Distress in Non-Patient-Facing Healthcare Workers.

Objective: To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a 12-week in-person Creative Arts Therapy intervention in reducing psychological distress and burnout symptoms in non-patient-facing healthcare workers.

Background: Burnout and psychological distress among non-patient-facing healthcare workers are significant and understudied problems in healthcare systems.

Methods: Non-patient-facing healthcare workers with burnout symptoms were randomly assigned to one of four Creative Arts Therapy modalities (art, music, creative writing, or dance/movement) or a control group.

A research protocol to study the critical time window for rehabilitation after incomplete spinal cord injury: early vs. late locomotor training.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in severe motor and sensory deficits, leading to significant disability. Preclinical studies and retrospective studies suggest that a critical window of enhanced neuroplasticity may exist immediately after SCI, during which therapeutic interventions could yield greater functional improvements. The impact of time interval since SCI on efficacy of rehabilitation has not been directly assessed and is the focus of this clinical trial.
