This study compared two different surgical techniques for repairing a specific tear in the knee's shock-absorbing cartilage (meniscus). The goal was to see which method better restored knee function and delayed the development of arthritis. Forty adults with this type of tear wer…

This study compared two surgical methods for removing benign parotid gland tumors. Researchers tested whether a less invasive approach could reduce complications like facial nerve damage while still effectively removing tumors. The trial involved 120 adults with confirmed benign …

This study tested whether applying a gel made from a natural plant compound called kaempferol during dental implant surgery could help the surrounding bone heal better and faster. In 30 patients, those who received the gel showed signs of faster bone activity in the first few wee…

This study aimed to see if having type 2 diabetes affects how well a tooth-saving procedure called a pulpotomy works. It compared 70 adults with and without diabetes who had a painful, inflamed tooth. Researchers checked if the treated teeth remained pain-free and healthy over ti…

This study compared two different bone graft materials used to build up thin jawbone in the front upper jaw before placing dental implants. Forty adult patients were split into two groups, each receiving a different combination of grafting materials. Researchers measured how much…

This study compared a new self-expanding device to a standard one for widening the upper jaw in children with cleft lip and palate. It involved 20 children who needed this procedure before further bone graft surgery. Researchers used 3D scans to measure how the devices changed th…

This study tested whether adding the medication cabergoline to standard letrozole treatment helps women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) ovulate better. Researchers compared the two-drug combination against letrozole alone in 100 women with PCOS in Assiut, Egypt. The goal wa…

This study tested a three-part treatment to try to save the bladder in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It compared this approach to the standard surgery that removes the bladder. The goal was to see if the new treatment could control the cancer while allowing patien…

This study tested whether a selenium gel could work as an alternative or add-on treatment for oral lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory condition that causes painful mouth sores. Researchers compared selenium against two standard steroid treatments in 50 patients. They measured …

This study tested a specialized dental device designed to widen a narrow upper jaw in young adults. Researchers combined the device with a minimally invasive technique that creates tiny perforations in the palate bone to make it more flexible. The goal was to see if this approach…

This study compared two common hip replacement surgeries for active elderly patients with a specific type of broken hip. It aimed to find out which surgery—a full hip replacement or a partial replacement—leads to better hip function and mobility after recovery. The trial involved…

This small study tested whether adding a gel made from the diabetes drug metformin to a standard bone graft could improve healing for immediate dental implants. Researchers enrolled 20 healthy adults to see if the gel helped the new bone grow stronger and made the implant more st…

This study compared two different surgical techniques for treating Hirschsprung disease in children. Researchers followed 40 infants and children to see which method led to better bowel function and fewer complications after surgery. The goal was to help doctors choose the best s…

This study tested two different dental tools designed to gently expand a thin jawbone so it can better support a dental implant. Researchers compared a special drill (Densah Bur) and a vibrating device (Magnetic Mallet) in 5 patients with narrow jaw ridges. The goal was to see wh…

This study tested different methods to prevent lung collapse after abdominal surgery. Researchers used ultrasound scans to check patients' lungs after surgery. They compared different breathing support techniques and fluid management approaches to see which worked best.

This study tested a two-part surgical procedure for children with severe, treatment-resistant constipation. Twenty children underwent a combination of laparoscopic bowel surgery and the creation of a new pathway for administering enemas. Researchers measured changes in bowel symp…

This study compared two types of lower-jaw dentures attached to implants. Researchers tested whether a new flexible material was more comfortable, easier to keep clean, and led to happier patients than the traditional hard plastic. Sixteen people aged 60-70 received either the fl…

This study aimed to find the safest amount of time to wait between having cesarean sections. Researchers looked at 201 women who had scheduled repeat C-sections and grouped them by how long it had been since their last one. They compared these groups to see if the time between su…

This study aimed to understand how diabetes affects the delicate cells at the back of the cornea during cataract surgery. Researchers compared 100 patients—some with diabetes and some without—to see if their eye cells responded differently to the procedure. The goal was to gather…

This study looked at how smoking affects gum healing after standard dental cleaning treatment for moderate gum disease. Researchers compared 36 smokers and non-smokers, measuring specific proteins in their gum fluid before and after treatment. The goal was to understand if smokin…
