This study tests special screws that dissolve over time, used in foot and ankle surgeries for fractures, bone realignment, or joint fusion. About 125 adults will be followed for 4 years to see how well bones heal and if there are any side effects. The goal is to see if these scre…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help emergency room doctors spot broken bones, dislocations, and other bone issues more quickly and accurately. About 4,800 patients with arm or leg injuries will have their X-rays reviewed either with or without AI assist…

This study is testing whether giving pregnant women extra fish oil (higher than usual doses) can lower the chance of their child developing asthma or persistent wheezing in the first three years of life. The researchers are enrolling 2,000 pregnant women in Denmark who have low b…

This study tests whether giving pregnant women higher doses of vitamin D than currently recommended can prevent asthma and persistent wheezing in their children during the first three years of life. Researchers will enroll 2,000 pregnant women in Denmark and follow their children…

This study looks at whether adding art or color to a child's cast for a broken arm or leg makes them more satisfied and feel less pain. About 96 children aged 5 to 17 will get either a plain white cast, a colored cast, or a custom-decorated cast. Researchers will compare satisfac…

This study tests a new imaging device that uses a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) to help surgeons see how well bones are getting blood flow during surgery. The goal is to better predict healing and infection risk in patients with severe fractures or bone infections. About 10 …

This study looks at whether drugs with anticholinergic effects increase fracture risk in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers will track 100 adults, recording their medications, bone density, and blood tests. The goal is to understand how the total anticholinergic load f…
