Background: To compare the integrity, clarity, conciseness, etc., of the structured report (SR) versus free-text report (FTR) for computed tomography enterography of Crohn's disease (CD).
Methods: FTRs and SRs were generated for 30 patients with CD. The integrity, clarity, conciseness etc., of SRs versus FTRs, were compared. In this study, an evidence-based medicine practice model was utilized on 92 CD patients based on SR in order to evaluate its clinical value. Then, the life quality of the patients in two groups was evaluated before and after three months of intervention using an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ).
Results: SRs received higher ratings for satisfaction with integrity (median rating 4.27 vs. 3.75, P=0.008), clarity (median rating 4.20 vs. 3.43, P=0.003), conciseness (median rating 4.23 vs. 3.20, P=0.003), the possibility of contacting a radiologist to interpret (median rating 4.17 vs. 3.20, P<0.001), and overall clinical impact (median rating 4.23 vs. 3.27, P<0.001) than FTRs. Besides, research group had higher score of IBDQ intestinal symptom dimension (median score 61.13 vs. 58.02, P=0.003), IBDQ systemic symptom dimension (median score 24.48 vs. 20.67, P<0.001), IBDQ emotional capacity dimension (median score 65.65 vs. 61.74, P<0.001), IBDQ social ability dimension (median score 26.80 vs. 22.37, P<0.001), and total IBDQ score (median score 178.07 vs. 162.80, P<0.001) than control group.
Conclusion: The SR of CTE in CD patients was conducive to improving the quality and readability of the report, and CD patients' life quality could significantly improve after the intervention of an evidence-based medicine model based on SR.

Background: Chest radiography is often performed preoperatively as a common diagnostic tool. However, chest radiography carries the risk of radiation exposure. Given the uncertainty surrounding the utility of preoperative chest radiographs, physicians require systematically developed recommendations.

Background: Early identification of pathological α-synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease-modifying treatments.
Objectives: We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction (iOD).
Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, we included iOD participants and normosmic healthy controls (HC) aged 55 to 75 years without diagnoses of dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease (PD), or other major neurological disorders.

Background: The Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is the most used outcome measure in clinical trials for cerebellar ataxias. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID), a parameter used to assess meaningful change, is not clearly defined.
Objective: To help define MCID for SARA.

The adolescent mental health crisis is compounded by a shortage of mental health services, which mobile health apps may alleviate. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of the Wysa app (a commercially available app containing cognitive behavioral therapy-based digital modules and an artificial intelligence-based conversational agent) among 13- to 18-year-old adolescents recruited from a primary care clinic in New York City and online from March to June 2022. We assessed adolescent engagement in the Wysa app over a 3-week period.

Context: High-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) may relieve severe dyspnea, but its role compared to other treatment options in palliative care remains unclear.
Objectives: Assess the effect and feasibility of HFNT with air compared to fan therapy in relieving dyspnea among non-hypoxemic patients with incurable cancer.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled, crossover trial compared airflow delivered by HFNT and fan.
