This study tests whether a special blood product made from a patient's own blood can help preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. After extraction, the bone and gums often shrink, which can complicate future dental implants. The treatment uses two forms of platelet-rich fib…

This study compares two treatments for infected baby molars in children aged 3 to 8: a less invasive method using a triple antibiotic paste (lesion sterilization and tissue repair) versus a standard root canal with a calcium hydroxide-iodoform paste. The goal is to see which appr…

This study looks at whether showering with a 4% chlorhexidine gluconate soap before lumbar disc herniation surgery can help prevent surgical site infections. About 86 adults will be randomly assigned to shower a different number of times before their operation. Researchers will t…

This study tests a new, gentle way to thicken thin gums using a substance made from your own blood (called i-PRF). Thin gums can lead to gum recession and other problems. The treatment involves a few injections over time, and researchers will measure gum thickness with ultrasound…

This study looks at whether a 14-week elective course that uses films and discussions about social justice can help medical students better understand their own emotions and feel more empathy for others. About 60 medical students will take part, with some taking the course and ot…

This study measures two substances in the blood—IGF-1 and IGF-1Ec—to see if they relate to how much cancer is in the body. About 100 adults with solid tumors will give blood samples, and researchers will compare the results with tumor size, stage, and spread. The goal is to find …

This study looks at whether easy-to-use health checklists (called G8, CARG, and frailty scales) can predict serious side effects from chemotherapy in people aged 65 and older with solid tumors. Researchers will also see if these tests relate to nutrition levels and the need for a…

This study looks at three simple tests—CARG, G8, and a frailty scale—to see which one best predicts chemotherapy side effects in people aged 65 and older with cancer. About 150 participants will take these tests before starting standard chemotherapy. The goal is to find the most …

This study looks at 200 adults with solid tumors who are getting chemotherapy. Researchers are comparing four different checklists (PG-SGA, MUST, Nutriscore, and GLIM criteria) to see which best identifies malnutrition and muscle loss (sarcopenia). The goal is to find the most re…

This study is looking at whether levels of a hormone called prolactin and certain markers of inflammation in the blood can help measure how severe Parkinson's disease is. Researchers will study 300 people with Parkinson's to see if these simple blood tests could be used to track …
