Background: The combination of rivaroxaban plus aspirin compared with aspirin alone reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular and limb events for high-risk patients with peripheral artery disease. It is unknown whether rivaroxaban plus aspirin improves intermittent claudication for adults with lower-risk peripheral arterial disease.
Methods: In this randomized, open-label, multicenter, 24-week clinical trial, we randomly assigned patients with peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication to receive either 2.
Article Synopsis
- The RCMP Study examines the participation of cadets in digital health data collection from pre-training through five years after deployment, utilizing the 90-9-1 rule to categorize cadets into Lurkers, Contributors, and Superusers.
- Data collection involved a Full Assessment prior to training and daily surveys during the Cadet Training Program (CTP), with mental health screenings for various disorders conducted to analyze links between mental health and survey engagement.
- Results showed a significant amount of survey data (18,557 records from 772 participants) was collected, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of participation patterns and mental health symptom associations.
Objective: The current study examined variations in cardioautonomic lability during the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Cadet Training Program (CTP) between cadets starting their training who did or did not screen positive for one or more mental health disorders (i.e., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], major depressive disorder [MDD], social anxiety disorder [SAD], generalized anxiety disorder [GAD], panic disorder [PD], alcohol use disorder [AUD]).

Participation in regular mental health monitoring has been associated with improved mental health disorder symptom reporting and may provide an accessible tool to support RCMP mental health. The current study assessed relationships between self-reported mental health disorder symptoms and the completion of daily surveys (i.

- The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) face high rates of potentially psychologically traumatic events, leading to a significant prevalence of mental health disorders among cadets compared to the general population.
- Research suggests that increased physical activity may help alleviate mental health symptoms, so the study aimed to explore the impact of exercise on cadets' mental health during their training program.
- Results indicated a significant correlation between higher levels of physical activity and reduced symptoms of various mental disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, among cadets from the start to the end of their training.
