This study aimed to see if simple ratios calculated from routine blood tests could help doctors monitor how active ulcerative colitis is in a patient. Researchers compared these blood test results against colonoscopy findings, which is the standard way to check disease activity, …

This study reviewed research on special wristbands that can detect infections in people recovering from surgery. The wristbands check for signs of inflammation in the body and use artificial intelligence to spot problems early. The goal is to see if these devices can find infecti…

This study looked at whether using a copper IUD immediately after a first C-section, compared to starting birth control pills weeks later, affects how the uterine scar heals. It involved 750 first-time mothers who wanted postpartum contraception. Researchers used ultrasound scans…

This study tested whether a two-part treatment could help prevent early birth in twin pregnancies where the cervix is short, a major risk factor. 59 women were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or a combination of a cervical stitch and a progesterone hormone gel. …

This study tested whether cutting out the old scar from a previous C-section during a repeat C-section surgery could prevent a painful complication called a 'uterine niche.' 170 women having a repeat C-section were randomly assigned to either have the old scar removed or to have …

This study tested whether a single dose of ketamine given during surgery could reduce depression symptoms afterward. It involved 110 adults with moderate to severe depression who were having a specific brain shunt procedure. Researchers compared patients who received ketamine to …

This study compared two methods for managing pain while doctors put a dislocated shoulder back in place. Researchers tested whether a targeted nerve-block injection works as well as traditional IV sedation for pain relief. The trial involved 42 adults with shoulder dislocations t…

This study compared two anesthesia methods for adults having elective nasal surgeries like sinus surgery or septoplasty. Researchers tested whether an opioid-free anesthesia mix (using dexmedetomidine and lignocaine) works as well as or better than standard opioid-based anesthesi…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block, given during surgery, could reduce pain and help patients breathe better after a major neck spine operation. Fifty adults having this type of surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the new nerve block or standard care. R…

This study tested whether adding a treatment called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) to standard physical therapy exercises could help young adults with long-term neck pain. Fifty-two participants aged 18-29 with neck pain for over 3 months were split into two groups: one …

This study tested if giving one of two common IV medications (dexmedetomidine or lidocaine) during a bile duct procedure could help protect older patients' memory and thinking skills after surgery. It involved 30 patients aged 65 and older. The goal was to see if these drugs coul…

This study tested a new type of lens implanted during cataract surgery. It aimed to see if the lens could provide clear vision for distance, computer use, and reading, while reducing the need for glasses. Thirty patients had the lens implanted in both eyes and were followed for t…

This study compared two common hormonal treatments to see which works better for women experiencing abnormal bleeding from a scar left by a cesarean section. 166 women were randomly assigned to receive either birth control pills or a hormonal IUD for six months. Researchers track…

This study tested whether giving patients an Intralipid infusion could help reverse the numbing effects of spinal anesthesia faster after day surgery. Researchers enrolled 200 adults having short procedures to see if this treatment shortened the time it took for leg movement to r…

This study tested whether adding a drug called hyaluronidase to a standard pain-blocking injection could improve pain relief after a cesarean section. Researchers compared two different doses of hyaluronidase in 114 women who had elective C-sections. The goal was to see if the dr…

This study tested whether combining three different pain-relief procedures works better than just one for people who still have severe back and leg pain after previous spine surgery. Researchers compared the combined approach against a single procedure in 63 patients to see which…
