This study tested whether millet seed extract capsules can reduce hair shedding in women with telogen effluvium, a temporary form of hair loss. Sixty women took either the millet extract or a biotin supplement daily for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in hair growth using …

This study screened nearly 1,000 Egyptian women aged 25-60 for early signs of cervical cancer using a liquid-based Pap smear during routine gynecology visits. The goal was to find abnormal cell changes early and gather data on how common these changes are in this population. No t…

This study looked at whether lifestyle changes—like diet and exercise—can help prevent prediabetes from turning into type 2 diabetes. 124 adults at high risk for prediabetes took part. They used a simple questionnaire and blood tests to track their progress. The goal was to see i…

This study tested whether removing a small heart ligament (ligament of Marshall) during coronary bypass surgery can prevent a common complication: atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). 220 high-risk adults were randomly assigned to standard bypass surgery alone or with the e…

This study tested whether injecting a warm or cold spinal anesthetic affects shivering after urologic surgery. 96 adults received either room-temperature or body-temperature bupivacaine. The goal was to see if a warmer injection reduces moderate to severe shivering. Results are n…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after upper abdominal surgeries like Whipple or total gastrectomy. 40 adults were randomly assigned to receive either a rectus sheath block or an external oblique intercostal plan…

This study tested two different drug mixtures (Ketodex and Ketofol) to see which one causes fewer dangerous drops in blood pressure when putting elderly patients to sleep for surgery. 102 adults over 65 having non-cardiac surgery took part. The goal was to find a safer way to sta…

This study looked at two methods to help people recover from back surgery: a nerve block (ESPB) and a mix of pain medicines including ketamine. 62 adults having lumbar decompression surgery took part. The goal was to see which approach leads to a better recovery and less pain.

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in 40 obese patients. The goal was to see which block provides longer pain relief and reduces the need for opioids, which can be risky in this group. Both blocks ai…

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in nerve blocks could provide better pain relief after heart surgery. Sixty adults having open-heart surgery through a chest incision received the nerve block. The main goal was to see h…

This study tested two ways to reduce signs of facial aging in women aged 30 to 65 with mild to moderate wrinkles. One group received three sessions of fractional microneedling radiofrequency (a procedure using tiny needles and heat), while the other did facial muscle exercises fo…

This study tested whether using one or two levels of a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) provides better pain control after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. Sixty obese adults were randomly assigned to receive either a one-level or two-level block along with general anest…

This study tested whether using a combination of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine instead of strong opioids like fentanyl can keep blood pressure more stable during brain tumor removal. It involved 86 adults aged 18-50 undergoing surgery for tumors in the upper part of the brain. Th…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) could reduce the chance of lung collapse after weight-loss surgery. 138 patients having laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard pain medicine.…

This study tested if a lidocaine spray and mouth rinse before surgery could reduce the body's stress response to having a breathing tube inserted, compared to a standard IV painkiller (fentanyl). Fifty adults having planned surgeries took part. The goal was to see which method be…

This study tested whether adding hyaluronidase to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) improves pain control after kidney stone surgery. 100 adults undergoing the procedure received a nerve block before surgery. The main goal was to measure pain scores after the operation. T…

This study tested whether a lower dose of the medicine norepinephrine (0.07 mcg/kg/min) works as well as a higher dose (0.1 mcg/kg/min) to prevent dangerously low blood pressure in elderly patients having hip surgery with spinal anesthesia. 84 patients aged 65 and older took part…

This study looked at 16 people with mycosis fungoides, a rare skin lymphoma, and measured a protein called IL-35 that can suppress the immune system. Before treatment, IL-35 levels were higher in patients than in healthy people. After phototherapy (light treatment), IL-35 levels …

This study looked at 250 adults who had heart surgery to see if a special method to keep chest tubes clear (active clearance) works better than standard drainage. The goal was to reduce problems like retained blood, bleeding, and the need for another surgery. Researchers reviewed…
