This study is testing whether eye drops made from cord blood plasma can relieve symptoms of moderate to severe dry eye disease better than standard artificial tears. Researchers will compare the cord blood drops combined with cyclosporine to a control treatment of hyaluronic acid…

This study looks at whether placing patients face-down (prone) to help them breathe can damage nerves in the shoulder area. Researchers will use electrical tests to check for nerve injury in adults with severe lung failure who are sedated and on a ventilator. The goal is to find …

This study examined the DNA of 254 people to find genetic changes that might explain why some individuals have mildly low levels of von Willebrand factor, a protein important for blood clotting. Researchers used whole-exome sequencing to look for variants in known and new genes. …

This study looked back at medical records of 150 children who have a genetic trait called Duffy-null, which is linked to naturally low levels of a type of white blood cell (neutrophils). The goal was to find out how many of these children also have an immune system that attacks t…

This study looked at liver cancer cells from 30 patients to understand how they differ from healthy cells. Researchers isolated these cells to create 3D lab models called organoids. The goal was to learn more about the behavior and genetics of liver cancer, not to test a new trea…

This study analyzed 2000 women who had surgery for endometriosis to see if the lesions tend to appear more on the right or left side of the pelvis. By carefully recording the location of each lesion during surgery, researchers hope to learn more about how endometriosis develops. …
