The majority of military veterans have never been screened for skin cancer by a physician. Screening rates were higher among individuals with one or more skin cancer risk factors. Future research is warranted to test targeted skin cancer screening interventions for this at risk and understudied population.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of multicomponent training on baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate (HR) complexity of prefrail older adults. Twenty-one prefrail community-dwelling older adults were randomized and divided into multicomponent training intervention group (MulTI) and control group (CG). MulTI performed…[Read more]

The evidence base for internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (iCBT-I) is firm; however, little is known about iCBT-I’s health-economic effects.

This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of iCBT-I in reducing insomnia among schoolteachers.

Schoolteachers (N=128) with clinically…[Read more]

These results reinforce the notion that tDCS effects are characterized by an activity reduction and might be more noticeable in compromised systems. Importantly, the data provide novel evidence that cognitive trajectories predict tDCS effects in older adults.

Although statistical associations between tooth loss and cognitive decline have been…[Read more]
