This study tested if using a special light sensor to monitor kidney oxygen levels during liver surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury. Eighty adults having planned liver surgery were randomly assigned to standard care or care guided by this sensor. The goal was to see if re…

This study tested whether a combination of the drug venetoclax plus a chemotherapy regimen called CACAG works better than the standard "3+7" chemotherapy for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The trial enrolled 200 patients aged 14 to 75. The main goal was…

This study looked at 204 patients receiving a stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor. Researchers compared two different doses of a drug called ATG to see which one better prevents graft-versus-host disease (a condition where donor cells attack the patient's body) and red…

This study looked at whether taking trimetazidine long-term can reduce the amount of scarring in the heart after a heart attack. Researchers followed 194 people who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) and had already undergone a procedure to reopen their blocked artery. The…

This study tested a 3D imaging system that helps surgeons see exactly where they are operating during prostate surgery for benign enlargement. 150 men took part, and the system was used to guide the surgeon in real time. The goal was to reduce problems like urine leakage and narr…

This study looked at whether giving a medicine called dexmedetomidine during major abdominal surgery can lower the chance of older patients (over 65) becoming confused or delirious after the operation. Researchers tracked 268 patients for about 5 days after surgery, checking for …

This study tested whether a single dose of esketamine, given during heart valve surgery, can reduce feelings of anxiety and depression around the time of the operation. Researchers enrolled 142 adults and measured mood using standard questionnaires. The goal was to see if this dr…

This study looked at whether giving a steroid (methylprednisolone) during anesthesia can lower the chance of delirium—sudden confusion—in older adults after abdominal surgery. Researchers analyzed records from 25,800 patients aged 65 and older. The goal was to see if this approac…

This study looked at 575 older adults (65+) who had knee or hip replacement surgery to see if having chronic pain before the operation increased their risk of depression within the first week after surgery. Researchers analyzed data from a Chinese database and found that preopera…

This study looked at over 6,000 older adults having surgery to see if postoperative delirium (sudden confusion after surgery) makes frailty worse and raises the risk of death within a year. Researchers measured frailty before and one month after surgery, then checked survival at …

This study looked at over 4,400 older adults (65+) who had elective surgery to see how their frailty levels changed afterward. Researchers wanted to know if different patterns of frailty recovery were linked to the risk of dying within one year. The goal was to better understand …

This study looked at 8,751 older adults (65+) to see how their health and daily function before surgery affected their risk of heart problems or stroke within 30 days after. Researchers used medical records and follow-up calls to track complications. The goal was to find which pr…

This study looked at how age changes brain wave patterns during anesthesia with desflurane. Researchers monitored 47 adults having surgery, measuring brain activity before, during, and after anesthesia. The goal was to understand aging's effect on brain signals, not to test a tre…

This study measured certain proteins in the blood of 500 people who had a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. The goal was to see if these proteins could help predict who might develop graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a common complication where donor cells attack the patient…

This study looked at 674 people who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) and were treated with a procedure to open blocked arteries. Researchers measured a blood test called the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, which reflects insulin resistance, and used heart MRI scans to …

This study looked at whether a common prostate medication (5-alpha reductase inhibitors) might also lower the risk of heart disease in men with an enlarged prostate. Researchers analyzed health records from over 10,000 people in the UK and China. The goal was to see if these drug…

This study looked at whether a blood test measuring lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) can predict postoperative delirium (confusion) in older surgical patients. Researchers studied over 6,400 adults aged 65 and older who had elective noncardiac, nonneurosurgical procedures. They…

This study looked at over 7,500 Chinese patients aged 65 and older who had non-cardiac surgery. Researchers measured how many developed anxiety or depression symptoms afterward and what factors made it more likely. The goal was to better understand and identify at-risk patients, …
