Laryngitis

This study tested whether analyzing a patient's DNA and RNA could help doctors pick the right drug for inflammatory diseases that don't fit standard categories. 32 adults with at least two affected organs (including skin) received one of six targeted therapies based on their mole…

This study looked at how well a new, quick finger-prick test (LumiraDx CRP) measures CRP levels compared to a standard lab test. CRP is a marker of infection, inflammation, or tissue injury. 79 adults with symptoms of these conditions took part. The goal was to see if the new tes…

This early study tested a new radioactive tracer called 18F-FDS in 16 people with suspected bacterial or fungal infections. The tracer is designed to light up infection sites on PET/CT scans, helping doctors see exactly where an infection is. The goal was to check how the tracer …

This study looked at whether giving a low dose of a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) during bronchoscopy—a procedure where a tube is inserted into the lungs—could reduce complications like throat spasms and coughing. 153 adults having elective bronchoscopy were split into two groups:…

This study looked at 200 children aged 2 to 12 with mild to moderate croup, a viral infection that causes a barking cough and breathing trouble. Researchers compared giving the steroid dexamethasone as a pill versus an injection to see which works better for easing symptoms. The …

This study tested whether a 25% lower dose of dexamethasone (0.15 mg/kg) works as well as the standard dose (0.6 mg/kg) for treating croup in children. Croup is a viral infection that causes airway swelling and breathing trouble. The trial involved 50 children and tracked return …

This completed study looked at how the social networks of caregivers affect their stress and health when caring for someone with an inherited disease. Researchers surveyed over 680 participants, including family members and formal caregivers, to understand caregiving burden and s…

This study looked at how using high-flow nasal oxygen during laryngeal surgery affects the heart and blood vessels. Twenty relatively healthy adults were monitored for changes in heart function compared to standard breathing support. The goal was to understand potential risks, no…

This completed study tested two ways of helping patients breathe during microscopic throat surgery. One method uses a steady airflow, while the other uses a set volume of air. The goal was to see which method keeps airway pressure lower and safer. 68 adults having elective laser …
