Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS) protocol for patients with mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
Method: (A controlled clinical trial) This preliminary study included 32 patients with AIS, aged 10 to 16 years, with Cobb angles ranging from 12° to 25°. The participants were divided into 2 groups: the SEAS group (n = 21) and standard care (n = 11). We assessed Cobb angles via radiographs, axial trunk rotation using the Adams test, spinal deformity from various perspectives with the Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ), and health-related quality of life with the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire, both before and after 1 year of treatment.
Results: Repeated measure-ANOVA revealed significant group x time interactions for various parameters: Cobb angle (F = 35.757; P < .001), axial trunk rotation (F = 39.595; P < .001), SAQ appearance domain for the physiotherapist (F = 53.943; P < .001), SAQ appearance (F = 14.054; P = .001), expectations (F = 9.103; P = .005) domains, the total score (F = 23.574; P < .001) for the child, and the SAQ appearance domain for the parent (F = 5.412; P = .027). There were no significant differences in SRS-22 scores between the 2 groups. The success rates for the SEAS group and the standard care group were 100% and 72.7%, respectively.
Conclusion: After 1 year, the group of patients with mild AIS who received the SEAS method showed greater improvements in the Cobb angle, axial trunk rotation, and spinal appearance than those who received standard care. This preliminary study suggests that larger trials should be completed.

Introduction: The societal costs of dementia and cognitive decline are substantial and likely to increase during the next decades due to the increasing number of people in older age groups. The aim of this multicenter cluster-randomized controlled trial was to assess the cost-effectiveness of a multi-domain intervention to prevent cognitive decline in older people who are at risk for dementia.
Methods: We used data from a multi-centric, two-armed, cluster-randomized controlled trial ( trial, ID: DRKS00013555).

Background: Empathy is considered paramount to the medical profession because it affects patients' satisfaction, compliance, and quality of care. It has been studied that medical residents in non-psychiatry specialties (especially general surgery) pay less attention to their patients' experiences and emotions. This study measured and compared surgical and psychiatric medical residents' empathy scores.

Background: Considering the importance of using Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) in COVID-19-related hypoxemia, the present study was conducted to determine the effective factors on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) failure rate in COVID-19-related hypoxemia.
Materials And Methods: This research was a retrospective cross-sectional study (2021) investigating the records of 200 adult patients with the medical diagnosis of acute respiratory failure (ARF) of COVID-19, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Shoushtar (southwestern Iran) who underwent CPAP therapy. The Heart rate, Acidosis, Consciousness, Oxygenation, and Respiratory rate (HACOR) scores were measured before the treatment and 1 h after undergoing CPAP treatment.
