This study tested whether applying hyaluronic acid gel after gum surgery helps the gums heal better. 26 patients with deep gum pockets were randomly given either the gel or a saltwater placebo during surgery. Researchers measured healing, pocket depth, and patient comfort over 3 …

This study tested whether a faster-acting insulin (Fiasp) works better than standard rapid insulin (NovoRapid) in insulin pumps for children and teens with type 1 diabetes. Researchers looked at blood sugar levels 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours after meals using real-world data …

This study tested whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can improve tendon healing in people with a torn rotator cuff. Forty adults having arthroscopic repair surgery were split into two groups: one received PRP during surgery, the other did not. Researchers compared tendon tissue s…

This study tested two non-surgical ways to treat peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Forty patients were split into two groups: one received standard ultrasonic cleaning with saline, the other got a combination of Er:YAG and diode lasers. Researchers measured g…

This study tested a non-surgical treatment for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. Forty adults with mild bone loss received either a cleaning with a special chitosan brush alone or with an added tetracycline antibiotic slurry. The goal was to see if the ant…

This study tested whether adjusting the pH of a numbing solution (articaine with epinephrine) improves pain relief during needle-free dental injections. Forty-five healthy adults received injections with and without pH adjustment. The goal was to see if the change makes anesthesi…

This study tested a dietary supplement containing ingredients like palmitoylethanolamide, alpha lipoic acid, and several B vitamins to see if it could reduce nerve pain in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. 71 newly diagnosed patients who had not yet started treatment took e…

This study tested whether using a special device to give smaller drops of cyclopentolate (a drug that dilates pupils) works as well as standard drops for children's eye exams. 63 children aged 4-16 received both types of drops on different visits. The goal was to see if the small…

This study looked at how accurately dental students can assess their own root canal treatments compared to expert evaluations. Over 200 patients received routine care from students using two different file systems. Researchers compared the students' self-assessments with reviews …

This study looked at 70 adults having open heart surgery (aortic valve or bypass). It compared a newer, smaller heart-lung machine to the standard one. The goal was to see which method better protects the body's tissues and the brain during surgery. Results will help doctors choo…

This study looked at 60 heart surgery patients to see how two different bypass machines affect blood flow in tiny vessels under the tongue. One method was minimally invasive, the other was the standard approach. The goal was to find out which technique keeps small blood vessels w…

This study checked how well children with type 1 diabetes and their brothers or sisters follow the recommended vaccination schedule. Researchers looked at vaccination records from 60 children. The goal was to see if kids with diabetes are up to date on their shots, not to test a …

This study looked at how salt in the diet affects blood pressure in 130 adults with chronic kidney disease. Researchers measured a protein called uromodulin in urine to see if it predicts salt sensitivity. The goal was to understand why some patients' blood pressure rises more wi…

This completed study looked at 1,000 heart attack patients to understand why some have no standard risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Researchers compared these 'SMuRF-less' patients to those with risk factors, examining their medical history, lab tests,…
