This study tested a new way to deliver radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Instead of targeting the whole tumor, doctors focused on areas where the cancer is most likely to come back. The goal was to see if this approach helps patients live longer without the diseas…

This study tested two different doses of focused radiation (SBRT) combined with chemotherapy in 119 people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal was to see which dose better helps control the cancer and extends survival while keeping side effects low. Participants had…

This study looked at whether using social networks (like WeChat) can improve medication adherence and risk factor control in 720 people at high risk for stroke after they leave the hospital. Participants were followed for 12 months to see if they took their prescribed medications…

This study tested whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemoradiation before surgery could help people with a certain type of ultra-low rectal cancer (MSS) avoid permanent colostomy. About 200 patients who wanted to save their anus took part. The main goal was to see how many…

This study tested a computer model (XGBoost) to predict whether suspicious spots on CT scans in people with chronic pancreatitis are cancerous. Researchers analyzed data from 113 patients to see how accurate the model was. The goal is to help doctors catch pancreatic tumors earli…

This study tested a training program for confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), a technique that lets doctors see cells in real time during a stomach exam. 147 adults aged 18-85 took part. The goal was to see if the training helps doctors accurately tell cancerous from non-cancerou…

This study tested a pain-relief method called TENS-WAA, which uses mild electrical pulses on the skin based on acupuncture points, to see if it can ease pain after lung cancer surgery. 156 adults who had keyhole lung surgery received either the real treatment or a fake device. Th…

This study looked at 104 adults with chronic pancreatitis and small pancreatic duct stones to see which tool—a basket or a balloon—works better during an ERCP procedure to remove the stones. The main goal was to see how completely the stones could be cleared. The results help doc…

This study tested whether a low-residue full nutritive formula powder taken with a smaller amount of laxative (2 liters instead of 3) could still clean the bowel well for colonoscopy, while reducing side effects like bloating and nausea. Over 750 adults scheduled for colonoscopy …

This study looked at 220 adults with chronic pancreatitis and large pancreatic stones to find the best time to perform an endoscopic procedure after shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The goal was to improve stone clearance and reduce complications. Results help doctors plan treatmen…

This study tested whether a non-invasive device that uses mild electrical pulses (TENS-WAA) could lower the dose of a strong painkiller (remifentanil) needed to keep heart rate and blood pressure stable during anesthesia. Sixty adults undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled. …

This study looked at 172 people with atrial fibrillation who had a heart procedure guided by a special ultrasound. Researchers found a common harmless imaging artifact, called the 'Floating Lotus' sign, that can look like a dangerous blood clot. By learning to tell the difference…

This study analyzed health data from over 723,000 older adults (70+) across 204 countries to understand the burden of pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis from 1990 to 2021. Researchers looked at how many people got these diseases, died from them, and lost healthy years of life. Th…
