This study tested a multi-step treatment plan for 40 patients under 70 with primary plasma cell leukemia, a rare and aggressive blood cancer. The approach included several rounds of different chemotherapy drugs, followed by one or two stem cell transplants (using the patient's ow…

This study tested whether an early, quick F-DOPA PET scan can distinguish between a brain tumor coming back and damage from radiation therapy. Eight adults with brain metastases who were already scheduled for a PET scan took part. The goal was to see if measuring activity within …

This pilot study tested a drug called 3,4-diaminopyridine in people with severe botulism who needed a ventilator to breathe. The goal was to see if the drug could improve muscle strength and breathing. Only 3 people took part, and researchers measured changes in nerve and muscle …

This study looked at whether people with uncomplicated appendicitis can safely have their appendix removed and go home the same day, instead of staying overnight in the hospital. Researchers followed 120 adults who had surgery and checked if they were discharged within 12 hours. …

This study looked at whether relaxation therapy can improve the overall well-being of people with fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread chronic pain. About 80 adults with fibromyalgia took part, receiving either relaxation sessions or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal was t…

This study looked at 155 adults having chest surgery to find the best way to control pain. Patients received one of three nerve blocks before surgery. The goal was to see which method reduced pain the most after the operation.

This study looked at 15 people with Parkinson's disease who have a deep brain stimulation device. Researchers used a special brain imaging technique to measure brain activity while participants did a hand movement task and a decision-making task. They compared brain activity when…

This study looked at how a specific type of hands-on therapy (mobilization) on the upper back affects the activity of back muscles in healthy people. 156 volunteers were split into three groups: one received the therapy, one received a placebo-like treatment, and one had no treat…

This study looked at 320 men to find out if a digital rectal exam is more complete when the patient lies on their back (supine) or on their side (lateral decubitus). The goal was to see which position allows the doctor to feel the entire rectum and check the sphincter better. Res…

This study tested whether using a machine to help people breathe before an ENT cancer screening procedure could keep their oxygen levels safe for a longer time. Fifty adults scheduled for panendoscopy under general anesthesia took part. The goal was to see if the machine-assisted…

This study looked at 90 adults who had sleeve gastrectomy surgery for obesity but did not lose enough weight. Researchers measured the remaining stomach volume two years after surgery to see if a larger leftover stomach caused the failure. The goal is to help doctors decide on ne…

This study looked at whether the diabetes drug metformin can be used safely in people with type 2 diabetes who also have kidney disease (stages 1 to 5). Researchers measured metformin levels in red blood cells to see if they stayed within a safe range. About 82 patients took part…

This study looked at 34 people who came to the emergency department with alcohol intoxication. Researchers asked them to guess their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and then compared that guess to a real breath or blood test. The goal was to see if people underestimate how drun…

This study looked at whether patients follow the instructions they receive when leaving the emergency room. Researchers called 242 adults a week after their ER visit to check. The goal was to understand how well people follow discharge advice, not to test a new treatment.

This study looked at how often people have thinking, memory, or behavior problems six months after a stroke. Researchers tested over 1,600 participants, including stroke patients and healthy volunteers, using a new French version of a standard cognitive test battery. The goal was…

This study followed 104 people with venous leg ulcers to find out which factors help them heal within 24 weeks. Researchers looked at medical history, wound size, and even social and emotional factors. The goal was to better understand why some ulcers heal and others do not, with…

This study tested whether the center of the ACL's natural attachment points keeps the ligament the same length as the knee bends. Thirty healthy volunteers had 4D scans to measure changes in distance between these points. The goal was to see if current surgical methods need impro…

This study tested whether drones can transport blood samples between hospitals without damaging them. Researchers flew samples between three hospitals in France and compared their condition to samples transported by traditional methods. Thirty adult volunteers provided blood samp…

This study looked at whether a substance called β-D-glucan in the blood can help doctors diagnose and monitor fungal infections in the belly (peritonitis). Researchers measured daily levels in 70 intensive care patients with and without yeast infections. The goal was to see if th…

This study tested whether a recent parvovirus infection might trigger Graves' disease, an autoimmune thyroid condition. Researchers compared 52 participants—half with newly diagnosed Graves' disease and half with other thyroid issues—looking for parvovirus DNA in their blood. The…

This study aims to better understand how facial muscles move during expressions like smiling. Researchers will use MRI scans and motion-capture cameras to measure muscle and skin movements in 50 healthy adults. The goal is to create a computer model that helps surgeons plan treat…

This study tested a new method to guide doctors on when to stop giving norepinephrine, a drug that raises blood pressure, to patients who develop dangerously low blood pressure after heart surgery. The method uses a measure called dynamic arterial compliance to decide the right t…

This study looked at how two pain medicines—lidocaine given through a vein and ropivacaine given through an epidural—affect each other's levels in the blood during major abdominal surgery. 51 adults having open abdominal surgery took part. The goal was to see if using both togeth…

This study looked at tiny particles called extracellular vesicles found in urine to see if they can help tell the difference between healthy kidneys and chronic kidney disease. Researchers measured these particles in 143 adults—some healthy and some with kidney problems. The goal…

This study tested a new heart MRI technique that uses deep learning to create clear images while patients breathe normally, instead of holding their breath. It included 54 adults with ischemic heart disease. The goal was to see if this method measures heart function as accurately…

This study looked at whether a special MRI scan (flow MRI) can predict if surgery will help people with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. Currently, doctors use a spinal tap to test this, but the MRI is non-invasive. The study enrolled…

This study looked at how giving a standard amount of fluid through a vein (a fluid challenge) changes blood flow in the liver. 22 healthy volunteers had an MRI before and after receiving 500 ml of salt water. The goal was to see if the liver's blood vessels adjust as expected. Th…
