This study tested three mouth care methods—apple cider vinegar, chlorhexidine (a standard antiseptic), and baking soda—in 90 intensive care patients after brain surgery. The goal was to see which best reduces harmful mouth bacteria that can lead to serious lung infections. Result…

This study looked at whether putting stickers on children aged 5 to 10 can lower their pain and anxiety when getting an IV. 72 children took part. The idea is that stickers might distract kids and help them cope better during this common but stressful procedure.

This study looked at 120 adults having gallbladder surgery to find the best position for a pain-relieving back injection called an ESP block. Patients received the injection while lying on their side, on their stomach, or sitting up. The goal was to see which position gave the be…

This study tested different ways of shaping the root canal during treatment to see which causes the least pain afterward. 168 adults with asymptomatic apical periodontitis (a silent infection at the tooth root) were treated using various file combinations. Patients rated their pa…

This study looked at whether olive oil and centaury oil can help manage mild diaper rash in babies. 45 infants between 6 and 18 months with mild diaper dermatitis took part. Researchers rated the severity of the rash before and after using the oils to see if they improved the ski…

This study tested whether a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can reduce pain and stress after sleeve gastrectomy, a type of weight-loss surgery. Sixty adults with obesity were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard painkillers or…

This study looked at whether adding a mild, sensory-level electrical stimulation to standard therapy could help children with spastic cerebral palsy move their ankles better and feel less stiffness. Eleven children aged 5 to 15 took part in a 12-week program. The goal was to see …

This study looked at 135 obese adults to see if using a video laryngoscope (Storz C-MAC3 or Scoper MAC-3) or a standard Macintosh laryngoscope makes intubation easier and safer. Researchers measured how well doctors could see the airway and checked for side effects like sore thro…

This study looked at how sleep apnea and other health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure affect pain after root canal treatment. Researchers compared pain levels in 78 adults with sleep apnea, systemic diseases, or no health issues. The goal was to see if sleep qualit…

This study looked at how the angle of the knee (Q-angle) relates to pressure on different parts of the foot while walking. Researchers measured 92 physically active young adults. The goal was to better understand this connection, not to test a treatment.

This study looked at how weight-loss surgery changes amino acid levels in the blood. Researchers measured these levels in 50 obese patients before surgery and at 1 and 3 months after, and compared them to 50 healthy people. The goal was to understand the metabolic changes that ha…

This study looked at 120 adults having gallbladder surgery to see if a nerve block (ESP block) given before or after surgery changes heart electrical activity. The goal was to understand if the timing of the block affects heart risk. Results could help make anesthesia safer for p…

This study looked at 40 adults having ear, nose, or throat surgery to see how two different low-flow anesthetics (desflurane and sevoflurane) affect heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and how quickly patients wake up. The goal was to find out which anesthetic might lead t…
