Lay health coaching intervention for older adults with chronic diseases: study protocol for a pragmatic randomised controlled trial.
Trials
December 2024
Department of Management Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.
Background: A large proportion of older adults suffer from chronic diseases. Health coaching is a promising intervention that enhances individuals' health knowledge and supports changes in health behaviours. Even though health professionals usually conduct health coaching interventions, lay health workers from different backgrounds account for a growing segment of health coaches over the years.

January 2025
Secteur des Sciences de la Santé, Neuro Musculo Skeletal Lab (NMSK), Université Catholique de Louvain, Institut de Recherche Expérimentale et Clinique, Brussels, Belgium.
Background: Orthopedic manual therapy is currently considered as an alternative approach for treating hip osteoarthritis. However, studies assessing its efficacy in low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are scarce.
Objectives: Investigating the effectiveness of Maitland passive joint mobilization (Maitland PJM) compared to self-rehabilitation in patients with hip osteoarthritis in Benin, a low-income country, in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Early Youth Engagement (EYE-2) intervention in first-episode psychosis services: pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial and cost-effectiveness evaluation.
Br J Psychiatry
November 2024
Institute of Psychiatry Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London, London, UK; and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Background: Early intervention in psychosis (EIP) services improve outcomes for young people, but approximately 30% disengage.
Aims: To test whether a new motivational engagement intervention would prolong engagement and whether it was cost-effective.
Method: We conducted a multicentre, single-blind, parallel-group, cluster randomised controlled trial involving 20 EIP teams at five UK National Health Service (NHS) sites.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of short-term indoor exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on the physiological and cognitive responses of working-age adults in an urban office environment.* -
- Participants exposed to lower PM2.5 levels (3.7 μg/m3) showed significantly better heart rate variability (HRV) during cognitive tasks compared to those in a higher exposure condition (18.0 μg/m3), indicating a link between air quality and cognitive function.* -
- Findings suggest that reduced indoor PM2.5 exposure leads to lower perceived mental effort and improved HRV, with potential mechanisms involving the autonomic nervous system affecting executive functioning and overall cognitive performance.*
