Randomized Controlled TrialEffectiveness of Mobile Health Augmented Cardiac Rehabilitation on Behavioural Outcomes among Post-acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
To determine the effectiveness of mobile health augmented cardiac rehabilitation (MCard) on behavioural factors among post-acute coronary syndrome (post-ACS) patients. ⋯ The MCard positively impacts the post-ACS participants' behaviours in terms of physical activity, healthy eating, and salt restriction. MCard evidenced as a feasible intervention in terms of having lasting behaviour modification among this vulnerable patient population. Key Words: Acute coronary syndrome, Myocardial infarction, Cardiovascular diseases, Cardiac rehabilitation, Healthy diet, Physical activity, Smoking, Tobacco, Telemedicine, Lifestyle modification.

Randomized Controlled TrialPost-hysteroscopy Duration of the Cook Balloon Uterine Stent Effect on the Re-adhesion Formation.
To compare duration of Cook balloon uterine stent on re-adhesions formation, and observe its effect on serum transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels in patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUA) undergoing hysteroscopic transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA). ⋯ Placement of Cook balloon uterine stent for 37 days after hysteroscopic TCRA in patients with IUA can effectively prevent postoperative intrauterine re-adhesion, have few complications, low recurrence rate of IUA and high re-pregnancy rate, and reduce levels of serum TGF-β1 and PAI-1. Key Words: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), Transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA), Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), Pregnancy.
