This study looked at 117 adults having pancreatic surgery who had a bile duct stent placed beforehand. Researchers compared infection rates when using a newer antibiotic (piperacillin/tazobactam) versus older ones (cephalosporins). The goal was to see if matching antibiotics to l…

This study looked at a blood test called the Wako Beta-D-glucan test to see how well it can detect serious fungal infections in people with weak immune systems. Researchers tested 280 patients and checked how often two positive results within 15 days meant a real infection. The g…

This study looked at 120 people with suspected fungal skin infections to see how well two new PCR tests work compared to standard lab methods. The goal is to find a faster, more accurate way to diagnose common infections like athlete's foot and nail fungus. Researchers hope these…

This study looked at 250 people with or suspected of having Crohn's disease to see if a quick MRI without contrast injection could detect bowel problems as accurately as the standard longer MRI with contrast. The goal is to make the exam easier to tolerate, especially for those w…

This study checked if the growth stage of the upper wisdom tooth matches the maturity of the palate bone in 200 healthy people. The goal was to see if a regular dental X-ray (panoramic) could replace a more detailed 3D scan (CBCT) when planning braces. The findings could simplify…

This study looked at how well three different blood tests can detect strongyloidiasis, a parasitic infection that can hide in the body without symptoms. Researchers tested stored blood samples from 80 adults who had been tested for the parasite. The goal was to see which test is …

This study looked at how doctors prescribe heart failure medications to patients while they are in the hospital for worsening symptoms. Researchers tracked 184 adults to see which drugs were started and how well they worked. The goal is to find better ways to use hospital stays t…

This study looked at 112 people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) to see if heart MRI scans can better measure how well the right side of the heart is working. Researchers compared MRI results with standard tests like heart catheterization. The goal w…

This study aimed to make MRI scans clearer and more reliable. Researchers tested new imaging methods on 1,807 healthy adults to improve picture quality and reduce blurring. No treatment or medication was given—the goal was simply to advance imaging technology.

This study looked at 89 people with antisynthetase syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that can cause muscle inflammation and serious lung damage. Researchers wanted to see if the number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood could help predict how severe the di…

This study looked at 611 patients who came to the dental emergency department at the University Hospital of Nancy through a special access clinic. Researchers wanted to understand what types of dental emergencies these patients had, when they came in, and how much the care cost. …

This study examined whether a simple CT scan before weight-loss surgery can help predict when a surgeon might need to change their planned approach during the operation. Researchers looked back at records of 288 adults who had gastric bypass surgery at a French hospital over 10 y…

This study looks at whether blood vessel problems can help explain memory decline in older adults with high blood pressure who have memory complaints. Researchers will measure artery stiffness and brain scans in 131 participants over time. The goal is to better understand the lin…

This study looked at whether liver ultrasound and elastography (a type of ultrasound that measures stiffness) can help predict a serious liver condition called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) before patients receive a stem cell transplant. Researchers observed 114 adults wh…

This study looked at whether a new type of camera (CZT) can accurately measure the radiation from a prostate cancer drug called lutetium. Researchers used past images from 20 patients to compare different energy levels. The goal was to see if the camera gives reliable measurement…
