This study looked at whether taking Coenzyme Q10 supplements can reduce nerve pain, fatigue, and other side effects in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer who are receiving paclitaxel chemotherapy. Fifty women took either Coenzyme Q10 with their chemo or chemo alone for 12 w…

This study tested a breathing exercise called the Active Cycle Breathing Technique in 120 adults who had just had heart surgery. The exercise combines gentle breathing control, deep breaths, and controlled coughing or huffing. Researchers wanted to see if it could improve breathi…

This study tested whether simple psychological techniques and cold therapy (cryoanalgesia) could reduce pain and anxiety during arterial punctures in 120 critically ill, conscious adults. Patients rated their pain on a 0-10 scale and anxiety using a standard questionnaire. The go…

This study tested whether two advanced heart ultrasound techniques (LACI and LV speckle tracking) can better predict complications like hospital readmission, heart attack, or stroke after TAVI valve replacement. Researchers studied 100 patients with severe aortic stenosis before …

This study looked at whether short, mobile-friendly lessons could improve critical care nurses' self-confidence, motivation, and stress levels after performing CPR. About 100 nurses with at least one year of ICU experience took part. The results will show if this easy-to-use trai…
