This study compared two types of nerve blocks for pain after total knee replacement surgery in 60 adults. One block targets the adductor canal, the other the erector spinae muscle. Researchers measured how much pain medication patients needed and their pain scores over 48 hours t…

This study looked at 60 adults who had chest surgery (thoracotomy) to see if using two different nerve blocks together works better than one alone for pain relief. Participants received either a single nerve block or a combination of two blocks. Researchers measured pain scores a…

This study looked at how much numbing medicine works best for a nerve block after total knee replacement. 90 adults received one of three different volumes of the block to see which one reduces pain and the need for strong painkillers. The goal is to find the right amount that co…

This study looked at whether special nerve blocks (fascial plane blocks) can improve recovery after open-heart surgery. The blocks aim to control pain better than standard painkillers, which may help patients breathe on their own sooner and leave the intensive care unit faster. T…

This study tested a new type of nerve block called SPSIPB to see if it reduces pain and helps people recover faster after open-heart surgery. 70 adults having elective open-heart surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the SPSIPB or standard pain management. The main goa…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (adductor canal block and pericapsular nerve group block) for pain management after total knee replacement surgery. Sixty adults having knee replacement under spinal anesthesia were included. The goal was to see which block provides b…

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

This study looked at 1100 people with COVID-19 in Turkey to see if their blood vitamin D levels were linked to how sick they got. Researchers measured vitamin D levels and compared them to disease severity. The goal was to understand if current vitamin D guidelines reflect real C…

This study looked at 64 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if the type of anesthesia (high-flow or low-flow) changes pressure inside the head or oxygen levels in the brain. Researchers measured brain pressure using ultrasound of the eye nerve and brain oxygen with a sp…

This study checked if a three-week program of balneotherapy (mineral baths) changes heart function in 44 adults with osteoarthritis. Participants had heart ultrasounds before and after the baths. The goal was to see if the therapy affects how the heart pumps and relaxes, not to t…

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 index to standard disease activity scores and a measure of physical function. The goal was to understa…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can accurately assign a standard surgical risk score (ASA Physical Status) to patients before surgery. Researchers compared AI-generated scores to those given by experienced anesthesiologists in 200 adult patients. The goal w…

This study checked how well doctors can locate knee, elbow, ankle, and wrist joints just by touch and movement, compared to an ultrasound. Thirty doctors took part. The goal was to measure the difference in millimeters and see if experience matters. Results will help improve medi…

This study tested if using a warm breathing tube during tonsil surgery in children lowers the risk of serious breathing problems like laryngospasm (throat muscle spasm) and bronchospasm (airway tightening). Researchers compared two groups of children who received tubes at differe…

This study looked at anxiety about COVID-19 in 200 adults with rheumatic diseases who were taking either biologic or conventional disease-modifying drugs. Researchers called participants and asked them to complete a questionnaire about their coronavirus-related anxiety. The goal …

This study looked at whether using a tool called the Pleth Variability Index (PVI) to guide fluid replacement during heart surgery helps doctors give the right amount of fluids. The goal was to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions. The study involved 80 adults ha…
