Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Cancer and Their Parents and for Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults Affected by Parental Cancer: A Population-Stratified Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT Objective Cancer profoundly affects the entire family system; evidence for acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) remains fragmented within three distinct cohorts: (1) children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYAs) with cancer or cancer survivors, (2) CAYAs impacted by parental cancer, and (3) parents of CAYAs with cancer. This population‐stratified systematic review evaluated ACT's acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy. Methods Adhering to Preferred Items for Systematic Review...

The Effectiveness of Non-surgical Interventions for Managing Chronic Low Back Pain.

Abstract Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a widespread condition with a substantial effect on quality of life and work capacity. Non-drug, non-surgical options – physical therapy (PT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and acupuncture – appear promising, yet stronger empirical evidence is still needed to confirm their value. Objectives: This study set out to compare PT, CBT, and acupuncture against standard care for the management of CLBP. Materials and Methods: Two hundred...

While a wide range of monitoring tools are available, how and why clinicians use these in routine practice has not been formally characterized. Here we describe distinct real‐world monitoring patterns among healthcare professionals (HCPs) caring for children with asthma in an international convenience survey, examining the geographic, professional, and institutional factors assoc...

Effects of Group-Based CBT/ERP and ACT on Emotion Dysregulation, Sleep, Anxiety Sensitivity and Psychological Flexibility in Adults With OCD.

ABSTRACT Introduction Cognitive behavioural therapy with exposure and response prevention (CBT/ERP) is the recommended first‐line psychological treatment for obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD). Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has emerged as a promising alternative, yet treatment comparisons have primarily focused on symptom severity and even less is known about their effects on other domains. Study Aim We examined the effect of group‐based ACT and CBT/ERP on emotion regulation, anxi...

Chronic Bilateral Knee Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty Due to Titanium Allergy: A Case Report.

Abstract Introduction: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative joint disease that can necessitate total joint arthroplasty. While titanium is widely regarded as a biocompatible material, this case of titanium hypersensitivity introduces an important diagnostic consideration in patients with persistent, unexplained post-operative symptoms. Case Report: A 46-year-old woman with bilateral PVNS underwent multiple arthroscopies and eventually bilateral total knee arthropla...

Sex Differences in Prescribing Patterns of Anticholinergics and β3-Adrenoceptor Agonists for Overactive Bladder: A Nationwide Study in Japan, FY2017-FY2024.

ABSTRACT Objectives Drug treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) is changing, with an increasing share of β3‐adrenoceptor agonists relative to anticholinergics, but it is not known how far this change has progressed in older people, who are most vulnerable to the risks of anticholinergics. We examined the use of these drugs in Japan by age and sex, and analyzed changes in anticholinergic burden using a large database. Methods We analyzed outpatient prescriptions of two β3‐adrenoceptor agonist...

Incidence of Nausea and Vomiting in Patients With Cervical Cancer Undergoing Chemoradiotherapy With Steroid-Sparing.

Background/Aim Although dexamethasone (DEX) is essential for preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting during concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for cervical cancer, prolonged administration carries risks of adverse events. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of a shortened DEX duration (steroid-sparing therapy) on the total control (TC) of nausea and vomiting in patients with cervical cancer undergoing CCRT comprising cisplatin 40 mg/m2 to avoid the risk of adverse effects associated...

High Prevalence of Childhood Trauma in Australian Adults With Migraine: A Cross-Sectional Study From a Tertiary Headache Center.

ABSTRACT Objectives To describe the prevalence of past childhood trauma, including the most common subtypes, in Australian adults with episodic and chronic migraine. Background Childhood trauma may alter neurobiological processes that lower pain thresholds and amplify pain signals. International studies show that a history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) confers double the risk of migraine development in adulthood, compared to those without a history of childhood trauma. The prevalen...

Dynamic alterations in stool microbiota composition following faecal transplantation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Dear Editor, Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is being investigated for its impact on gut microbiota in various diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Further data are needed on FMT effectiveness across IBD subtypes and optimal therapeutic regimens. New analytical methods can improve understanding of IBD pathogenesis and FMT effects, and facilitate standardised guidelines for donor screening, FMT prescription, and success evaluation. In this exploratory single‐arm longitud...

Corticotropin-Releasing Factor: A Key Player in Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction of Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome-A Narrative Mechanistic Review.

Abstract Corticotropin-Releasing Factor (CRF) plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) primarily by disrupting intestinal barrier function. In this narrative review of PubMed and Web of Science literature published through January 2026, we summarize the mechanisms by which CRF mediates intestinal barrier dysfunction in IBS-D and discuss potential therapeutic strategies. This review examines the mechanisms by which CRF impairs the intes...
