This study looked at whether measuring a protein called calprotectin in the blood can help diagnose acute appendicitis. Researchers compared 74 patients with abdominal pain, some with confirmed appendicitis and others with non-specific pain. They measured calprotectin levels and …

This study tested whether shear wave elastography, a special ultrasound technique that measures tissue stiffness, can help diagnose lipedema—a chronic condition causing painful fat buildup in the legs, mostly in women. Researchers compared tissue stiffness in 95 women (lipedema p…

This study looked at 60 men who had a prostate biopsy to check for cancer. It compared two imaging methods used to guide the biopsy: the standard multiparametric MRI and a newer scan called Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT. The goal was to see which method better finds aggressive prostate cance…

This study tested whether a J-shaped skin incision, instead of the usual straight cut, can reduce numbness and pain after total knee replacement. Sixty-two patients with severe knee arthritis were randomly assigned to get either the standard or the J-shaped incision. The research…

This study compared two sedative drugs, propofol and remifentanil, for people having a routine gastroscopy (a camera down the throat to check the stomach). The goal was to see which drug helps patients recover faster, causes fewer side effects, and keeps the doctor satisfied. 80 …

This study looked at two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain after hip replacement surgery in 62 patients aged 65 and older. One group got a PENG block plus a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block, the other got a PENG block plus a lumbar erector spinae plane block. …

This study tested whether adding mirror therapy to Botox injections can better reduce arm spasticity in stroke survivors. Thirty patients who had a stroke at least three months earlier received Botox injections and then either mirror therapy or a sham treatment. Researchers measu…

This study compares two second-generation supraglottic airway devices—the I-Gel and the LMA Protector—in patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal under low-flow anesthesia. Researchers measure breathing mechanics, oxygen levels, and complication rates to see which dev…

This study used ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath (the lining around the eye nerve) in 56 adults having laparoscopic bariatric surgery. The goal was to see how brain pressure changes during surgery due to gas inflation and body positioning. No drug or treatment was tes…

This study looked at 110 adults having nose surgery (septoplasty) to see if different blood pressure targets during surgery affect kidney injury. Patients were split into two groups: one with a lower blood pressure target (50-57 mmHg) and one with a higher target (58-65 mmHg). Ki…

This study looked at 60 obese adults scheduled for weight-loss surgery. Doctors used an ultrasound before surgery to measure how much food or liquid was still in the stomach, even after fasting. The goal was to see if a higher body mass index (BMI) or longer fasting time was link…

This study looked at 29 people who had ACL surgery using their own hamstring tendons. Researchers used a special ultrasound to check how stretchy the healed tendons were and compared them to the healthy leg. They also tested leg muscle strength to see if tendon quality affects re…

This completed study looked at how kinesiophobia—fear of movement or re-injury—affects pain, disability, and quality of life in 57 adults with chronic neck pain. Participants completed surveys about their pain, fear levels, and daily function. The goal was to understand if this f…

This study looked at how anesthesiologists and artificial intelligence (AI) models rate surgical risk using the ASA classification system. Researchers wanted to see if adding a frailty score (a measure of weakness and vulnerability) changes those ratings. They observed 200 adult …

This study looked at 222 adults having a sedated gastroscopy to see if a high-flow oxygen device called THRIVE prevents low oxygen levels better than a standard nasal cannula. The oxygen method was chosen by the doctor, not randomly assigned. The main goal was to see how many pat…

This study looked at whether a special breathing maneuver during gallbladder surgery can reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. Researchers used lung ultrasound to check lung aeration in 80 adults before and after surgery. The goal was to gather information, not …

This study looked at whether ultrasound measurements of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, can help predict if ICU patients on ventilators will successfully breathe on their own. Researchers measured diaphragm thickness and movement in 60 patients before removing the breat…

This study used a special ultrasound technique called shear-wave elastography to measure stiffness in the calf muscles and Achilles tendon of children who walk on their toes for no known medical reason. Researchers compared 46 children—half with idiopathic toe walking and half he…
