This study looked at two different needle sizes used to take liver tissue samples during an endoscopy procedure. The goal was to see which needle gives better samples for diagnosing liver disease. 82 patients with unexplained high liver enzymes took part, and each had samples tak…

This study tested whether acupressure—a gentle finger-pressure technique on specific body points—could improve sleep in elderly people living in care homes. 75 residents took part, with half receiving 12 acupressure sessions over four weeks. The results showed that those who rece…

This study tested a mindfulness-based psychoeducation program for 66 nurses working in intensive care, oncology, and emergency units. The goal was to see if the program could reduce burnout, improve clinical decision-making, and ease existential anxiety. Researchers measured chan…

This study looked at whether adding physiotherapy to standard painkillers helps people with sudden back spasms in the emergency department. Researchers reviewed medical records of 150 adults aged 18 to 65 who came to the ER with acute low back pain. They compared those who got on…
