This study tested two treatments for toenail fungus in 27 Asian adults: a light-activated dye (methylene blue photodynamic therapy) and a medicated nail polish (amorolfine). The goal was to see which worked better and was safer. Participants received either the light treatment or…

This early-stage trial tested a new treatment for people with severe lupus that did not get better with standard medicines. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells, modified in a lab to target and attack faulty immune cells causing the disease. Only 3 people took part, an…

This study tested two simple bedside tools—the Neuropathy Disability Score and Neuropathy Symptom Score—to screen for diabetic nerve damage. Researchers compared them to standard nerve tests in 228 adults with diabetes. The goal was to see if these easy-to-use tools could help de…

This study tested whether a 12-week home-based circuit training program could improve blood vessel function and metabolism in adults with obesity. Twenty-nine participants were randomly assigned to either the exercise group or a control group that continued their usual activities…

This pilot study tested whether applying methylene blue (a dye) to skin lesions and then shining red light on them could improve skin roughness in people with lichen amyloidosis, a condition causing itchy, bumpy patches. Fifteen Asian adults with the condition received the treatm…

This pilot study tested a 308-nm excimer laser on 15 Asian adults with lichen amyloidosis, a condition that causes itchy, rough patches on the skin. The goal was to see if the laser could improve skin roughness. The study is small and early, so results are not conclusive.

This small study tested whether the sleep medication lemborexant (Dayvigo) can help people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have a low arousal threshold—meaning they wake up easily during sleep. Ten untreated adults each took the drug or a placebo on two …

This study looks at whether frying foods in a blend of palm and canola oils with added surfactants and green tea extract can reduce the rise in blood fats (triglycerides) that happens after eating. Healthy adults eat fried foods made with either the special oil blend or regular p…

This study looked at 100 critically ill adults with severe kidney failure who were receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. Researchers used a special ultrasound technique to check for fluid buildup in the body, which can harm organs. The goal was to see how common fluid …

This study looked at how migraine patients and healthcare providers in Thailand experience eptinezumab, a preventive migraine infusion given every 3 months. Researchers interviewed 30 participants to find out what makes it easier or harder to use this treatment in a real-world ho…

This study reviewed medical records of 139 people with advanced chronic kidney disease who had a heart attack. Researchers wanted to see if getting a coronary angiogram (a special X-ray of the heart arteries) soon after the heart attack was linked to living longer and needing dia…

This study looked at 80 adults on heart-lung support (ECMO) who also needed kidney dialysis (CRRT). Researchers compared two methods of connecting the machines to see which made the dialysis circuit last longer. The goal was to find a better approach for managing these complex tr…

This study looked at 150 healthy Thai adults aged 65-80 to see if artificial intelligence, along with brain stimulation and sensory tests, could better predict who is at risk of falling. Researchers measured balance, muscle responses, and sensation in the legs. The goal was to de…
