Objective: To analyze within-group effect sizes of cipaglucosidase alfa plus miglustat (cipa+mig) and alglucosidase alfa (alg) for efficacy, quality of life (QoL), and biomarker variables in ERT-experienced patients.
Background: The randomized, double-blind PROPEL study (ATB200-03; NCT03729362) compared the efficacy and safety of the investigational two-component enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) cipa+mig with alg plus placebo in adults with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD); 77% of patients had received ERT with alg before study entry (median ERT duration 7.4 years).
Design/methods: We analyzed within-group effect sizes of cipa+mig and alg for outcome variables including motor function, lung function and muscle strength tests; patient-reported outcomes/QoL; and biomarkers in ERT-experienced patients. Standardized within-group effect sizes (Cohen's d for correlated measurements from baseline to week 52) were calculated by dividing the mean change from baseline by the standard deviation of the difference scores.
Results: ERT-experienced patients remaining on alg (n=30) generally showed worsening (d<-0.2) or stability (-0.2≤d≥+0.2) across most outcomes, while those switching to cipa+mig (n=65) mostly showed improvement (d>0.2) or stability. Patients remaining on alg demonstrated statistically significant within-group worsening for sitting and supine forced vital capacity; slow vital capacity; maximal expiratory pressure; and creatine kinase (CK) and hexose tetrasaccharide (Hex4) levels, and no significant improvements for any outcomes. Patients switching to cipa+mig did not demonstrate significant within-group worsening for any outcomes and showed significant improvements for 6-minute walk distance (absolute and % predicted); upper, lower and overall manual muscle test; Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Fatigue; Physician and Subject Global Impression of Change (five of eight subdomains); and CK and Hex4 levels.
Conclusions: This analysis shows that ERT-experienced patients with LOPD who switched from alg to cipa+mig treatment achieved improvements in a number of outcomes, highlighting the potential of cipa+mig to become an important treatment option for these patients.

Purpose: Medically tailored transitional foods (TFs) may be a clinically viable alternative to pureed consistency for individuals requiring texture-modified foods. However, little remains known about the performance of TFs during the swallow. The purpose of this investigation was to describe oropharyngeal swallowing physiology in patients with dysphagia during consumption of TFs as compared to pureed solids.

Background: Acceptance and commitment therapy provides a psychobehavioral framework feasible for digital and hybrid weight loss interventions. In face-to-face studies, group-based interventions yield more favorable outcomes than individual interventions, but the effect of the intervention form has not been studied in combination with eHealth.
Objective: This study investigated whether a minimal, 3-session group or individual enhancement could provide additional benefits compared to an eHealth-only intervention when assessing weight, body composition, and laboratory metrics in a sample of occupational health patients with obesity.

Background: Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) allows for engaging interactions, however, its acceptability, barriers, and enablers to support patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are unknown.
Objective: This work stems from the Coordinating Health care with AI-supported Technology for patients with AF (CHAT-AF) trial and aims to explore patient perspectives on receiving support from a conversational AI support program.
Methods: Patients with AF recruited for a randomized controlled trial who received the intervention were approached for semistructured interviews using purposive sampling.

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Treatments for this disease often result in side effects such as pain, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and reduced quality of life. Physical exercise has been shown to effectively mitigate these side effects and improve the quality of life in patients with breast cancer.

Aim(s): To investigate the impact of the absence of specific advice for oral fluid intake, compared to supplementation water intake on the occurrence of post-dural puncture headache.
Design: A prospective, open-label, non-inferiority, multicenter trial including hospitalized patients requiring a diagnostic lumbar puncture in seven hospitals in France.
Methods: Patients were randomly allocated (1:1) either to receive no specific advice on oral fluid intake (FREE-FLUID), or to be encouraged to drink 2 liters of water (CONTROL) within the 2 hours after lumbar puncture.
