This study tested whether briefly stopping a patient's breathing during kidney stone laser surgery could make stone removal more efficient by reducing kidney movement. 150 adults with kidney stones were randomly assigned to normal breathing, low-volume breathing, or a short breat…

This study aims to create a new algorithm that uses continuous glucose monitoring to assess insulin resistance in real time for critically ill patients. Current methods are often invasive or impractical in the ICU. Researchers will analyze data from 179 patients to see if this ne…

This study looked at whether using ultrasound to check the stomach and gut could help doctors feed critically ill patients more successfully. 294 ICU patients were included. The goal was to see if this approach helps patients reach their calorie targets and reduces feeding proble…

This study looked at 140 critically ill adults to see if the difference between blood sugar and tissue sugar (the glucose gap) can help predict metabolism and survival. Researchers measured this gap using a small sensor placed under the skin. The goal was to find a simpler, less …

This study looked at 140 critically ill ICU patients to see if the difference between glucose levels in the blood and in the fluid just under the skin (interstitial fluid) can help predict death risk and metabolic problems. Researchers measured this gap and compared it to energy …
