This study tested whether resveratrol, a natural substance found in grapes and peanuts, could help teenagers with type 1 diabetes who also have early kidney damage. Sixty teens aged 12-18 took either resveratrol tablets or no supplement for six months. Researchers measured blood …

This study looked at whether giving clot-busting drugs (thrombolysis) to people with a moderate-to-severe lung clot (pulmonary embolism) and a low risk of bleeding could lower the chance of death within 30 days. The study included 100 patients and tracked deaths from cardiac arre…

This study tested a new method called injection molding to repair thin or missing enamel on children's permanent front teeth. Fourteen healthy children received either a giomer or composite resin restoration, and the team checked how well the repairs held up over two years. The g…

This study tested whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes drug) works better than insulin for managing diabetes in children aged 10-18 with transfusion-dependent thalassemia. The main goal was to see if it improved blood sugar control over 6 months. The drug is alrea…

This study looked at 90 adults with severe ARDS (a serious lung condition) who were on breathing machines. Researchers compared two ventilator methods—APRV and PRVC—to see which one better opens the lungs and improves oxygen levels. They used lung ultrasound scores to measure imp…

This study compared two surgeries for a rare condition where an artery squeezes the small intestine, causing severe nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Twenty adults were randomly assigned to either a gastric bypass or a bypass that reroutes the intestine. Researchers tracked symp…

This study compared two surgical techniques to treat a broken wrist bone (scaphoid) that failed to heal on its own. Thirty adults received either a minimally invasive arthroscopic bone graft or a traditional open surgery. The goal was to see which method led to faster healing, be…

This study tested whether a supplement made from bovine colostrum (the first milk from cows) can prevent repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. Sixty children with a history of recurrent UTIs took part. The goal was to see if this natural prebiotic could reduce the…

This study looked at whether brushing children's teeth with a special antiseptic mouthwash (chlorhexidine) could lower their risk of getting a lung infection while on a breathing machine in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The researchers compared this special mouth care…

This study tested two medications, tadalafil and darifenacin, to see which one better relieves urinary symptoms and pain caused by ureteric stents. 150 adults who had a stent placed after kidney stone treatment took each drug for three weeks. The goal was to find a more effective…

This study tested two ways to help preschool children (ages 2-5) stay still during a brain MRI. One group received oral melatonin plus a mild sedative gas, while the other got oral chloral hydrate plus the same gas. The goal was to see which approach worked better and was safer. …

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine or ketamine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) can provide longer pain relief after hernia surgery. Sixty adults having one-sided hernia repair received one of three injections into their abdominal wall. Researchers measu…

This study tested whether avoiding opioids during gallbladder surgery leads to a better recovery. Fifty adults having planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal received either opioid-free pain medicine or standard opioid anesthesia. Researchers measured recovery quality and pain l…

This study looked at whether adding ketamine or a fentanyl skin patch to a standard nerve block (erector spinae plane block) could improve pain control after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. 120 adults who were generally healthy (ASA I or II) took part. The main goal was to see h…

This study tested whether a life-skills training program could improve self-efficacy (confidence in handling situations) in men recovering from substance use disorders. 45 male participants aged 20-50 who had at least one relapse and were in a rehab program took part. They comple…

This study tested whether a special nerve block (TAP block) helps people move around better after having a bone graft taken from the hip. Thirty participants wore a device to track their walking before and after surgery. The goal was to see if the block made recovery easier and f…

This study tested a digital mental health app called MITA in 150 children with autism aged 2 to 8. The goal was to see if using the app could improve language, social skills, and thinking abilities. Results were measured using standard checklists for autism treatment and mental s…

This study tested whether giving a diuretic (furosemide) during a common kidney stone procedure helps remove tiny leftover fragments. 2000 adults with medium-sized stones (up to 30 mm) took part. Half received the diuretic during surgery, half got standard care. Four weeks later,…

This study tested two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—PENG and QLB—to see which provides better pain relief for people with hip fractures while they are being positioned for spinal anesthesia. 42 adults took part, and researchers measured pain levels, ease of positioning,…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to control pain after hypospadias repair in 30 boys aged 1-8. One block was given near the tailbone (caudal) and the other near the penis (dorsal penile). The caudal block worked better for early pain and reduced the need for extra pain…

This study looked at two different medications (dexamethasone and magnesium sulfate) added to a standard numbing medicine for a nerve block in hip replacement surgery. The goal was to see which combination provided longer pain relief and reduced the need for strong painkillers af…

This study looked at 86 boys who had surgery for a common birth defect where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis (distal hypospadias). The goal was to find the best method and length of time to divert urine after surgery to prevent complications like fistulas. Rese…

This study looked at 77 adults with an unstable hip fracture to compare two ways of positioning the patient during surgery: lying on their side versus lying flat on a special traction table. The goal was to see which position leads to better bone alignment, less radiation exposur…

This study reviewed medical records of 293 women who had surgery to remove uterine fibroids (myomectomy) at a university hospital. The goal was to find out how often the surgery unexpectedly turned into a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and what complications happened within…
