Background: In this randomized controlled trial we aim to validate the efficacy and safety of a hydrogel vascular closure device (VCD) for hemostasis after transfemoral intervention.
Methods: Between January and August 2023, 212 patients were enrolled, including 202 in a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial (1:1 hydrogel vs ExoSeal; prespecified margin -10%) and 10 in a hydrogel-only observational arm (8 F). The primary endpoint was device success rate and secondary endpoints including hemostasis time and procedural blood loss.
Results: Among 102 hydrogel and 100 ExoSeal recipients, hydrogel had non-inferior success rates (99.02% vs 94.00%; 95% CI -0.27% to 11.74%). Hydrogel achieved significantly faster hemostasis (1.99 vs 3.14 min, P<0.001) and reduced blood loss (0.83 mL vs 8.93 mL, P<0.001). No major access site complications were observed in either group. No secondary complications occurred in patients in the experimental group and secondary complications occurred in one patient in the control group (P=0.497). The supplementary cohort of 10 patients supported the efficacy and safety of hydrogel VCD.
Conclusions: Hydrogel VCD shows non-inferior efficacy to ExoSeal for transfemoral cerebrovascular interventions, with superior hemostatic speed and reduced blood loss while maintaining comparable safety.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of a Health Belief Model-based oral health management program on self-efficacy, oral health behaviors, and three periodontal clinical indicators among pregnant women.
Study Design: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 65 participants randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 39) and control (n = 26) groups. The intervention included one face-to-face education, three video calls, two online lectures, and regular follow-up supervision in 1 month, while the control group received one face-to-face education.

Purpose: Stroke affects one in four adults in the UK, with over a third relying on informal carers. The burden of care can have detrimental effects on the mental and physical health of carers, which may impact the rehabilitative process. Despite this, interventions have focused on the physical demands of caregiving, prioritising the stroke survivor.

Context: Cardiovascular protective properties of berries have been reported in numerous studies. Berries and their bioactive compounds may also be effective for improving body composition and anthropometric indices.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis were aimed to investigate the effect of berries on anthropometric markers.

Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data advances are becoming more common and more important across research fields given the large amount of research data in need of synthesis and application. Many novel methods improve the efficiency and accuracy of data reuse, combination, and synthesis, which is necessary given that there are over 500 published randomized controlled trials of posttraumatic stress disorder treatments in adults; however, these methods are still relatively new to the field of traumatic stress research. We provide a brief overview of relevant FAIR data efforts from other fields and within trauma health care and research; share examples of trauma-related FAIR data efforts to demonstrate recent advances and challenges; and suggest potential next steps to continue making trauma data more FAIR.
