1
24293578
methods
Outcome measures included pain reduction and improvement in function scores and systemic inflammation markers .
2
24293578
methods
Pain was assessed using the visual analog pain scale ( @-@ mm ) .
3
24293578

background
Emotional eating is associated with overeating and the development of obesity .
0
24854809
background
Yet , empirical evidence for individual ( trait ) differences in emotional eating and cognitive mechanisms that contribute to eating during sad mood remain equivocal .
1
24854809
objective
The aim of this study was to test if attention bias for food moderates the effect of self-reported emotional eating during sad mood ( vs neutral mood ) on actual food intake .
2
24854809
objective
It was expected that emotional eating is predictive of elevated attention for food and higher food intake after an experimentally induced sad mood and that attentional maintenance on food predicts food intake during a sad versus a neutral mood .
3
24854809
methods
Participants ( N = @ ) were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental mood induction conditions ( sad/neutral ) .
4
24854809
methods
Attentional biases for high caloric foods were measured by eye tracking during a visual probe task with pictorial food and neutral stimuli .
5
24854809
methods
Self-reported emotional eating was assessed with the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire ( DEBQ ) and ad libitum food intake was tested by a disguised food offer .
6
24854809
results
Hierarchical multivariate regression modeling showed that self-reported emotional eating did not account for changes in attention allocation for food or food intake in either condition .
7
24854809
results
Yet , attention maintenance on food cues was significantly related to increased intake specifically in the neutral condition , but not in the sad mood condition .
8
24854809
conclusions
The current findings show that self-reported emotional eating ( based on the DEBQ ) might not validly predict who overeats when sad , at least not in a laboratory setting with healthy women .
9
24854809
conclusions
Results further suggest that attention maintenance on food relates to eating motivation when in a neutral affective state , and might therefore be a cognitive mechanism contributing to increased food intake in general , but maybe not during sad mood .

25165090
background
Although working smoke alarms halve deaths in residential fires , many households do not keep alarms operational .
0
25165090
background
We tested whether theory-based education increases alarm operability .
1
25165090
methods
Randomised multiarm trial , with a single arm randomly selected for use each day , in low-income neighbourhoods in Maryland , USA .
2
25165090
methods
Intervention arms : ( @ ) Full Education combining a health belief module with a social-cognitive theory module that provided hands-on practice installing alarm batteries and using the alarm 's hush button ; ( @ ) Hands-on Practice social-cognitive module supplemented by typical fire department education ; ( @ ) Current Norm receiving typical fire department education only .
3
25165090
methods
Four hundred and thirty-six homes recruited through churches or by knocking on doors in @-@ .
4
25165090
methods
Follow-up visits checked alarm operability in @ homes ( @ % ) @-@ @ years after installation .
5
25165090
methods
number of homes with working alarms defined as alarms with working batteries or hard-wired and number of working alarms per home .
6
25165090
methods
Regressions controlled for alarm status preintervention ; demographics and beliefs about fire risks and alarm effectiveness .
7
25165090
results
Homes in the Full Education and Practice arms were more likely to have a functioning smoke alarm at follow-up ( OR = @ , @ % CI @ to @ ) and had an average of @ more working alarms per home ( @ % CI @ to @ ) .
8
25165090
results
Working alarms per home rose @ % .
9
25165090
results
Full Education and Practice had similar effectiveness ( p = @ on both outcome measures ) .
10
25165090
conclusions
Without exceeding typical fire department installation time , installers can achieve greater smoke alarm operability .
11
25165090
conclusions
Hands-on practice is key .
12
25165090
conclusions
Two years after installation , for every three homes that received hands-on practice , one had an additional working alarm .
13
24633056
objective
To evaluate the performance ( efficacy , safety and acceptability ) of a new micro-adherent absorbent dressing ( UrgoClean ) compared with a hydrofiber dressing ( Aquacel ) in the local management of venous leg ulcers , in the debridement stage .
0
24633056
methods
A non-inferiority European randomised controlled clinical trial ( RCT ) was conducted in @ centres , on patients presenting with venous or predominantly venous , mixed aetiology leg ulcers at their sloughy stage ( with more than @ % of the wound bed covered with slough at baseline ) .
1
24633056
methods
Patients were followed over a @-week period and assessed weekly .
2
24633056
methods
The primary judgement criteria was the relative regression of the wound surface area after the @-week treatment period .
3
24633056
methods
Secondary endpoints were the relative reduction of sloughy tissue and the percentage of patients presenting with a debrided wound .
4
24633056
results
Altogether , @ patients were randomised to either UrgoClean ( test group ; n = @ ) or Aquacel ( control group ; n = @ ) dressings .
5
24633056
results
Regarding the wound healing process predictive factors ( wound area , duration , ABPI value , recurrence ) , at baseline , the two groups were well balanced , for both wound and patient characteristics .
6
24633056
results
Compression therapy was administered to both groups and after a median @-day treatment period , the percentage of relative reduction of the wound surface area was very similar ( -@ % vs -@ % in the UrgoClean and control groups , respectively ) .
7
24633056
results
When considering the secondary criteria at week @ , the relative reduction of sloughy tissue was significantly higher in the UrgoClean group than in the control group ( -@ % vs -@,@ % ; p = @ ) .
8
24633056
results
The percentage of debrided wounds was also significantly higher in the test group ( @ % vs @ % ; p = @ ) .
9
24633056
conclusions
This ` EARTH ' RCT confirmed that the UrgoClean dressing has similar efficacy and safety compared to Aquacel .
10
24633056
conclusions
However , UrgoClean also showed better autolytic properties than the control group in the management of venous leg ulcers at the sloughy stage .
11
24633056
conclusions
The new UrgoClean dressing therefore represents a promising therapeutic option within the current range of autolytic dressings available .

24814304
objective
Eye movements ( EM ) during recall of an aversive memory is a treatment element unique to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR ) .
0
24814304
objective
Experimental studies have shown that EM reduce memory vividness and/or emotionality shortly after the intervention .
1
24814304
objective
However , it is unclear whether the immediate effects of the intervention reflect actual changes in memory .
2
24814304
objective
The aim of this study was to test whether immediate reductions in memory vividness and emotionality persist at a @h follow up and whether the magnitude of these effects is related to the duration of the intervention .
3
24814304
methods
Seventy-three undergraduates recalled two negative autobiographical memories , one with EM ( `` recall with EM '' ) and one without ( `` recall only '' ) .
4
24814304
methods
Half of participants recalled each memory for four periods of @s , the other half for eight periods of @s .
5
24814304
methods
Memory vividness/emotionality were self-rated at a pre-test , an immediate post-test , and a @h follow-up test .
6
24814304
results
In both duration groups , recall with EM , but not recall only , caused an immediate decrease in memory vividness .
7
24814304
results
There were no immediate reductions in memory emotionality .
8
24814304
results
Furthermore , only the ` eight periods ' group showed that recall with EM , but not recall only , caused a decrease in both memory emotionality and memory vividness from the pre-test to the follow-up .
9
24814304
conclusions
Only self-report measures were used .
10
24814304
conclusions
The findings suggest that recall with EM causes @-hchanges in memory vividness/emotionality , which may explain part of the EMDR treatment effect , and these effects are related to intervention duration .

5
25825539
methods
The primary outcome was child BMI percentile at @-year follow up .
6
25825539
results
At @-year follow-up , the adjusted BMI percentile was @ , @ , and @ for groups @ , @ , and @ , respectively .
7
25825539
results
The group @ mean was significantly ( P = @ ) lower than group @ .
8
25825539
results
Mean changes from baseline in BMI percentile were @ , @ , and @ across groups @ , @ , and @ .
9
25825539
conclusions
MI delivered by providers and RDs ( group @ ) resulted in statistically significant reductions in BMI percentile .
10
25825539
conclusions
Research is needed to determine the clinical significance and persistence of the BMI effects observed .
11
25825539
conclusions
How the intervention can be brought to scale ( in particular , how to train physicians to use MI effectively and how best to train RDs and integrate them into primary care settings ) also merits future research .

24507941
background
Antithrombin ( AT ) concentrations are reduced after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass compared with the preoperative levels .
0
24507941
background
Low postoperative AT is associated with worse short - and mid-term clinical outcomes .
1
24507941
background
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of AT administration on activation of the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems , platelet function , and the inflammatory response in patients with low postoperative AT levels .
2
24507941
methods
Sixty patients with postoperative AT levels of less than @ % were randomly assigned to receive purified AT ( @ IU in three administrations ) or placebo in the postoperative intensive care unit .
3
24507941
methods
Thirty patients with postoperative AT levels greater than @ % were observed as controls .
4
24507941
methods
Interleukin @ ( a marker of inflammation ) , prothrombin fragment @-@ ( a marker of thrombin generation ) , plasmin-antiplasmin complex ( a marker of fibrinolysis ) , and platelet factor @ ( a marker of platelet activation ) were measured at six different times .
5
24507941
results
Compared with the no AT group and control patients , patients receiving AT showed significantly higher AT values until @ hours after the last administration .
6
24507941
results
Analysis of variance for repeated measures showed a significant effect of study treatment in reducing prothrombin fragment @-@ ( p = @ ; interaction with time sample , p = @ ) and plasmin-antiplasmin complex ( p < @ ; interaction with time sample , p < @ ) values but not interleukin @ ( p = @ ; interaction with time sample , p = @ ) and platelet factor @ ( p = @ ; interaction with time sample , p = @ ) .
7
24507941
results
No difference in chest tube drainage , reopening for bleeding , and blood transfusion was observed .
8
24507941
conclusions
Antithrombin administration in patients with low AT activity after surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass reduces postoperative thrombin generation and fibrinolysis with no effects on platelet activation and inflammatory response .
