This study tested if using a special finger-sensor (PVI) could help doctors manage fluids more precisely during a common blood-conservation technique in heart surgery. The goal was to see if this sensor-guided approach could reduce the need for donor blood transfusions and lower …

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) models could accurately assess a patient's physical health and risk level before surgery, a task normally done by anesthesiologists. Researchers compared the AI's risk scores against those given by experienced doctors for 200…

This study aimed to find the most effective dose of a pain-relieving nerve block for patients recovering from total knee replacement surgery. Researchers compared three different volumes of a numbing injection given near the knee to see which one best reduced pain and the need fo…

This study tested two methods of pain control for patients recovering from major chest surgery (thoracotomy). Researchers compared a standard nerve block to a combination of two different nerve blocks. The goal was to see if the combination provided better pain relief, especially…

This study tested whether using targeted nerve blocks for pain relief after major heart surgery helps patients recover faster. Researchers compared patients who received these ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to those who got standard pain medications. They looked at whether the bl…

This study tested whether Botox injections work better than a numbing medication for relieving chronic muscle pain (myofascial pain syndrome). 38 patients with pain lasting over 3 months received either Botox or prilocaine injections into their painful trigger points. Researchers…

This study aimed to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic affected anxiety levels in people with rheumatic diseases like arthritis. Researchers compared anxiety between patients taking biologic medications and those taking conventional arthritis drugs. They conducted phone intervi…

This study looked at whether epidural anesthesia during knee replacement surgery causes a temporary change in brain pressure. Researchers used a simple, non-invasive ultrasound scan of the eye's optic nerve to measure this. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive either …

This study looked at whether a person's vitamin D level is connected to how sick they get from COVID-19. Researchers measured vitamin D in the blood of 1,100 confirmed COVID-19 patients in Turkey and compared it to the severity of their symptoms and other health findings. The goa…

This study looked at whether thermal bath therapy (balneotherapy) affects heart function in people with osteoarthritis. Researchers measured heart activity using ultrasound in 44 adult and elderly patients before and after a 3-week program of warm water immersion. The goal was to…
