This study tests whether adding the CytoSorb blood-filtering device to standard hospital care can better remove waste products like bilirubin and ammonia in people with sudden worsening of chronic liver disease. Twenty adults with severe liver failure will receive the device for …

This study compares two ways of giving platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for chronic knee osteoarthritis: one into the joint only, and another that also targets tissues around the knee. Researchers want to see if the combined approach better reduces pain, improves daily funct…

This study will enroll 25 adults with interstitial lung disease or COPD to investigate the physical origins of ultrasound artifacts seen in lung scans. Researchers will compare ultrasound findings with CT scans and wearable sensor data to understand what these artifacts really me…

This study compares two common airway devices (i-gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe during surgery. Researchers will check how well each device seals the airway and whether air leaks into the stomach, using ultrasound for safe and accurate measurements. The goal is to f…

This study will test how well artificial intelligence (AI) can interpret breast ultrasound images using the latest BI-RADS criteria. Researchers will collect over 1,300 past ultrasound images with confirmed diagnoses and have expert radiologists annotate them. Then, various AI mo…

This study looks at whether a quick, painless neck ultrasound can help predict which older adults (65+) will have a dangerous drop in blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for surgery. Researchers will measure the size and shape of a neck vein before surgery and track …

This study tests whether using the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) as a landmark is more accurate than the traditional iliac crest line for spinal anesthesia in cesarean sections. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure the distance from each landmark to the correct spin…

This study looks at how a blood transfusion changes heart function in anemic patients aged 65 and older who come to the emergency room. Researchers will use ultrasound to check the heart before, right after, and 15 minutes after the transfusion. The goal is to see which heart mea…
