This study tested a new type of nerve block called SPSIPB to see if it could reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after open-heart surgery. 70 adults having planned open-heart surgery took part. The researchers compared the new block to standard pain treatments to find…

This study looked at whether special nerve blocks (fascial plane blocks) can improve pain control and reduce the time patients need a breathing machine after open-heart surgery. 206 adults having planned heart surgery were included. The goal was to see if these blocks lead to fas…

This study compared botulinum toxin (BoNT-A) injections to prilocaine for relieving pain in myofascial pain syndrome, a condition causing muscle knots and pain. Thirty-eight adults with symptoms for over 3 months were randomly assigned to receive either BoNT-A or prilocaine injec…

This study looked at 60 adults who had chest surgery (thoracotomy) to see if using two nerve blocks together works better than one for pain relief. Patients received either a single erector spinae plane block or that block plus a serratus anterior plane block. Researchers measure…

This study looked at 60 people having knee replacement surgery to compare two types of nerve blocks for pain relief: the adductor canal block and the pericapsular nerve group block. The goal was to see which one provides better pain control and helps patients feel more comfortabl…

This study looked at how much numbing medicine works best for a nerve block after total knee replacement. The goal was to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. 90 adults having knee surgery took part. The results help doctors choose the right dose for better pain contr…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and the adductor canal block (ACB)—for managing pain after total knee replacement surgery. Sixty adults undergoing knee replacement received one of the two blocks, and researchers measured how muc…

This study checked how well doctors can find specific joints (knee, elbow, ankle, wrist) just by feeling them, compared to using an ultrasound machine. 30 doctors took part. The goal was to measure the difference between where they thought the joint was and where ultrasound showe…

This study looked at 44 adults with osteoarthritis who received balneotherapy (mineral baths) for three weeks. Researchers used heart ultrasound to check for changes in heart function before and after the spa sessions. The goal was to see if this common therapy has any effect on …

This study tested whether artificial intelligence can correctly classify the physical status of 200 adult patients before surgery, just like experienced anesthesiologists do. Researchers compared AI-generated scores with those from doctors to see how well they agreed. The goal wa…

This study tested if warming the breathing tube before placing it could lower the chance of serious breathing problems like throat spasms or drops in oxygen after tonsil surgery in children. Researchers compared two groups of children who received tubes at different temperatures.…

This study looked at 1100 people with COVID-19 in Turkey to see if their vitamin D levels were linked to how sick they got. Researchers measured vitamin D in the blood and compared it to disease severity. The goal was to learn more, not to test a treatment.

This study looked at whether a noninvasive monitor called the Pleth Variability Index (PVI) can help doctors give the right amount of fluid during heart surgery. The goal was to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions. 80 adults having heart surgery took part. The a…

This study looked at 65 adults with ankylosing spondylitis to see if a blood-based score called the CALLY index matches how much inflammation they have. Researchers compared the CALLY index to standard disease activity scores and patient-reported symptoms. The goal was to underst…

This study looked at 60 adults having total knee replacement to see if epidural anesthesia temporarily raises pressure inside the head. Researchers used ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter, a safe way to estimate brain pressure. Participants were randomly assign…

This study looked at how different anesthesia gas flows affect brain pressure and oxygen levels in 64 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy. Researchers measured brain pressure using ultrasound of the optic nerve and brain oxygen with a special light sensor. The goal was to see …

This study looked at how anxious people with rheumatic diseases felt about COVID-19, depending on whether they were taking biologic or conventional disease-modifying drugs. Researchers surveyed 200 adults by phone using a standard anxiety scale. The goal was to see if the type of…
