This study tested whether injecting epinephrine around the bile duct opening, combined with a standard rectal anti-inflammatory drug, could reduce pancreatitis after ERCP—a common procedure to treat bile duct blockages. Over 500 adults with a first-time ERCP took part. The goal w…

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 investigates whether a 60-minute web-based education program can reduce infertility-related distress and improve fertility readiness in women undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment. The program covers fertility basics, diagnostic methods, medications, and…

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 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 looked at 112 women who had spinal anesthesia for surgery to see how often they got post-dural puncture headaches and how severe they were. Researchers compared pregnant women (obstetric) to non-pregnant women (non-obstetric) to find out if pregnancy changes headache r…

This study looked at whether a teaching method called the jigsaw technique helps nursing students better analyze research articles. 144 nursing students took part, and the researchers measured their critical thinking and learning skills. The goal was to see if this group-based le…
