Background and Purpose— Most studies comparing different levels of aphasia treatment intensity have not controlled the dosage therapy provided. Consequently, true effect in rehabilitation remains unknown. Aphasia Language Impairment Functioning Therapy is an intensive, comprehensive program. We investigated efficacy a dosage-controlled trial Therapy, when delivered intensive versus distributed schedule, on communication outcomes participants with chronic aphasia. Methods— Thirty-four adults...
Childhood obesity remains a global public health priority due to the enormous burden it generates. Recent surveillance data suggests there has been sharp increase in prevalence of childhood during COVID-19 pandemic. The Cochrane review prevention interventions (0-18 years) updated 2015 is most rigorous and comprehensive randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on this topic. A burgeoning number high quality studies have published since that are yet be synthesised.
Background: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a growing health problem. Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat this condition, but have not demonstrated efficacy beyond 2 weeks, and no studies shown that NSAIDs produce durable improvements in disability.Methods: To evaluate the durability of effect etoricoxib for chronic LBP, randomized, double blind, placebo‐controlled trial was conducted at 46 centres. Three hundred twenty‐five patients with LBP requiring treatment...
Background and objectives Neuromuscular complications are almost universal in CKD by the time that a patient commences dialysis. Recent studies have indicated chronic hyperkalemia may contribute to development of neuropathy CKD. This study was undertaken determine whether dietary restriction potassium intake be neuroprotective factor Design, setting, participants, & measurements A 24-month prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled trial 47 consecutively recruited patients with...
Purpose The relationship between cognitive abilities and aphasia rehabilitation outcomes is complex remains poorly understood. This study investigated the influence of language on anomia therapy in adults with aphasia. Method Thirty-four chronic participated Aphasia Language Impairment Functioning Therapy. A assessment battery, including 3 baseline naming probes, was administered prior to therapy. Naming accuracy for 30 treated untreated items collected at posttherapy 1-month follow-up....
Abstract We assessed the effectiveness of a 6-month healthy lifestyle intervention, on pain intensity in patients with chronic low back who were overweight or obese. conducted pragmatic randomised controlled trial, embedded within cohort multiple trial waiting list for outpatient orthopaedic consultation at tertiary hospital NSW, Australia. Eligible (>3 months duration) and body mass index ≥27 kg/m 2 <40 randomly allocated, using central concealed random allocation process, to receive...
Abstract Poststroke aphasia typically results from brain damage to the left‐lateralized language network. The contribution of right‐lateralized homologues in recovery remains equivocal. In this longitudinal observational study, we specifically investigated role right hemisphere structural connectome recovery. Twenty‐two patients with after a left hemispheric stroke underwent comprehensive assessment at early subacute and chronic stages. A novel connectometry approach, using multi‐shell...
Abstract White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are a radiological manifestation of progressive white integrity loss. The total volume and distribution WMH within the corpus callosum have been associated with pathological cognitive ageing processes but not considered in relation to post‐stroke aphasia outcomes. We investigated contribution both WMH, extent lesion load recovery language after first‐ever stroke. Behavioural neuroimaging data from individuals ( N = 37) left‐hemisphere stroke were...
This study aimed to examine the recidivist outcomes for a group of incarcerated violent offenders, based on whether they achieved pre-post raw psychometric change, reliable and/or clinically significant change (CSC) following treatment completion. Participants included 42 adult male offenders (age range 21 67 years) who participated in medium- or high-intensity, group-based offender program offered within prisons, operated by Corrections Victoria. These men were followed community an average...
Better diet quality has been associated with less weight gain over time. However, few studies have examined the role of during loss. This study aimed to compare changes in overweight/obese adults a loss intervention, and determine whether an association between score exists. Overweight or obese (BMI 25-40 kg/m2) adults, aged 18–60 years, were recruited from Hunter Region NSW, Australia randomized one three groups: standard online program (n = 94); enhanced version this that provided...
