This study tested whether showing older hospitalized patients their own activity levels on a bedside screen could encourage them to move more. 130 adults aged 60+ with conditions like COPD, heart failure, or Parkinson's wore a small sensor and saw real-time feedback on time spent…

This study aimed to create a detailed map of the cells in the human appendix and understand their genetic activity. Researchers analyzed appendix tissue from 5 patients undergoing colon cancer surgery. The goal was to learn more about the appendix's role in the immune system and …

This completed study took small tissue samples from the colons of 40 people during routine colonoscopies. Using advanced genetic techniques, researchers created a detailed map of the different cell types and their gene activity. The goal is to better understand how colon diseases…

This study tested a wireless device that continuously monitors vital signs like heart rate and oxygen levels in patients at home after a hospital stay. The goal was to see how often alarms go off and whether they help catch serious health problems early. 83 adults participated, w…

This study examined nearly 100,000 people who had knee replacement for arthritis to see if those who previously had weight-loss surgery faced different risks of complications or needing another surgery. Researchers focused on how body weight at the time of knee replacement and th…

This completed study used Danish national health records to compare infection rates after total knee replacement in obese (BMI ≥30) versus non-obese patients. Researchers analyzed data from over 100,000 adults who had knee replacement for osteoarthritis between 2011 and 2021. The…

This study collected fluid from the wounds of 13 people with hard-to-heal leg ulcers. Researchers analyzed the fluid to see how it affects skin cells and bacteria. The goal was to learn more about why some wounds don't heal, not to test a new treatment.

This study tested whether combining two noninvasive techniques—a special skin scan (OCT) and sticky tape that collects skin cells—can accurately detect basal cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer. Fifty adults with suspected BCC were scanned and had tape strips taken from the same…

This study tests whether doing heavy resistance exercise before a period of leg immobilization can prevent muscle loss. 48 healthy adults (young and older) will have one knee immobilized for 7-10 days, then undergo 4 weeks of retraining. Half will also exercise for 4 weeks before…
