This study tested whether checking blood clotting levels every week with a small finger-prick device is better than the usual monthly lab test for elderly nursing home residents on blood thinners. The goal was to see which method keeps patients in the safe therapeutic range longe…

This study tested whether a special CT scan that highlights blood flow (porto-scanner with Angio-CT) helps doctors more accurately destroy small liver tumors from colorectal cancer using heat ablation, compared to a standard CT scan. The goal was to see if the new method leads to…

This study compared two surgical procedures for treating pelvic organ prolapse in women aged 50-80. One method uses a vaginal approach (sacrospinofixation) and the other uses keyhole surgery through the abdomen (laparoscopic promontofixation). The goal was to see which causes les…

This pilot study tested a device called the Learning Intravenous Resuscitator (LIR) that automatically gives IV fluids during major abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. The goal was to see if the device could keep blood volume stable as well as a human anesthesiologist. On…

This study compared three different injections—platelet-rich plasma, botulinum toxin, and steroids—for treating tennis elbow pain. It aimed to see which worked best for pain relief. Only 13 people took part before the study was stopped early.

This study aimed to see if COVID-19 vaccines cause more side effects in cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. Researchers planned to track 125 patients from several hospitals in France, recording any local or systemic side effects. The study was terminated early, so the full r…

This study looked at the costs of treating severe postpartum hemorrhage with a drug called NovoSeven compared to standard care. Researchers wanted to see if the higher drug cost could be offset by avoiding expensive procedures. The trial was terminated early and included 84 women…

This study looked back at 20 young people who came to the hospital with nerve problems after using nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for fun. Researchers measured muscle strength, balance, and disability to understand how the gas harms the nervous system. The goal was to learn more ab…

This study looked at whether doing an ultrasound right after delivery to check for anal tears could help prevent bowel leakage (incontinence) three months later. It involved first-time mothers who had vaginal tears. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.

This study looked at whether measuring a protein called S100B in the blood right after a first seizure could help predict if someone will have more seizures within a year. The researchers planned to follow 37 adults for one year, but the study was stopped early. The goal was to f…

This study aimed to validate a French version of the Back Belief Questionnaire, a tool that measures how people think about low back pain. Researchers planned to enroll 131 adults with chronic back pain and track changes in their questionnaire scores after physical therapy. The s…

This study looked at whether gastroenterologists (liver doctors) who are not heart ultrasound specialists, but received standard training, could measure heart function as accurately as experts in patients with severe cirrhosis and swelling. The goal was to see if simple heart ass…

This study looked at whether certain genetic variations (SNPs) in cholesterol-related genes (LXRs) are linked to difficult labor (dystocia) that requires a C-section. Researchers planned to analyze blood samples from 58 women having C-sections due to stalled labor. The study was …
