This study tested a structured weaning protocol for 250 tracheostomy patients who needed a ventilator for more than 21 days. The protocol gradually reduced ventilator support and used noninvasive ventilation and high-flow oxygen through the tracheostomy tube. The goal was to help…

This completed trial tested a ketogenic diet (high-fat, low-carb) in 32 people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Participants followed the diet or a placebo for 26 weeks. Researchers measured changes in cognitive function using a standard test. The goal was to see if the…

This study tested a personalized dietary program for 30 adults with type 2 diabetes. The program was designed to help participants better manage their blood sugar and potentially achieve remission. Researchers measured changes in HbA1c and other health markers to see if the diet …

This completed trial tested whether electrical stimulation of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles helps patients who have been on a breathing machine for a long time to breathe on their own sooner. 300 adults who had been on a ventilator for at least 21 days received either real …

This study tested a shorter course of radiation therapy for people with early-stage breast cancer after lumpectomy. The goal was to see if this approach causes fewer skin side effects. 35 participants received the treatment, and researchers measured how many developed moderate to…

This study tested whether a drug called esketamine works as well as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for quickly reducing suicidal thoughts in people with depression. 340 adults with major depression or bipolar disorder and active suicidal ideas took part. They received either esk…

This study looked at whether giving warm, moist oxygen at a high flow rate through a breathing tube is safe and works well for brain-injured patients in the intensive care unit. These patients could breathe on their own but still needed the tube to protect their airway. The goal …

This study looked at whether a low-field MRI (0.23-T) is safe and practical for patients who are on a heart-lung machine after a cardiac arrest. The goal was to see if doctors could use this MRI to find brain injuries early without causing harm. 36 unconscious patients took part,…

This study looked at 1499 people who had an acute ischemic stroke and got a chest CT within 24 hours. Researchers wanted to see if combining CT findings with clinical signs and inflammation markers could better predict who would develop pneumonia within a week. They built and tes…

This study tested whether measuring a protein called MxA in the blood can help doctors decide when to stop antiviral drugs in patients with flu or COVID-19. Researchers enrolled 86 adults and compared standard care to MxA-guided treatment. The goal was to see if the test could re…

This study tested whether a large language model (AI) helps doctors diagnose neurologic cases more accurately. Forty licensed neurologists were split into two groups: one used the AI tool plus usual resources, the other used only usual resources. The main goal was to see if the A…
