This study tested whether millet seed extract capsules can reduce hair shedding in women with telogen effluvium, a common temporary hair loss condition. Sixty women took either the millet seed supplement or biotin alone for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in hair density u…

This study tested whether removing the ligament of Marshall during coronary artery bypass surgery could prevent a common complication: atrial fibrillation. 220 high-risk patients were randomly assigned to get the extra procedure or standard surgery alone. The goal was to see if t…

This study tested whether a special 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 a liquid-based Pap smear (ThinPrep) to screen 984 Egyptian women aged 25–60 for early signs of cervical cancer during routine gynecology visits. The goal was to see if this method could detect abnormal cells more effectively than standard approaches. Results wil…

This study tested whether a lifestyle modification program—including diet advice, exercise plans, and mobile reminders—could reduce the risk of prediabetes progressing to type 2 diabetes. 124 adults with prediabetes participated. The goal was to see if simple, everyday changes co…

This study tested two methods of giving the drug dexmedetomidine to 70 adults during intubation (placing a breathing tube). One group received a slow infusion over 10 minutes, the other a quick bolus over 60 seconds. The goal was to see which method causes fewer changes in heart …

This study tested two types of nerve blocks—fascia transversalis block and transversus abdominis plane block—to see which provides better pain relief for children after open inguinal hernia surgery. Fifty children participated, and the main goal was to measure how long it took be…

This study looked at two methods to control pain after hip surgery in children. One method uses a combination of nerve blocks near the hip, while the other uses a caudal block near the tailbone. The goal was to see which approach delays the need for extra pain medicine. The study…

This study tested whether using a nerve block at one or two spots on the back (erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. Sixty obese adults were randomly assigned to receive either a one-level or two-level block along with gen…

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 (over 65) to sleep for surgery. 102 participants having non-cardiac surgery were randomly assigned to receive one of the…

This study tested whether warming the anesthetic drug (bupivacaine) before injecting it into the spine could prevent shivering in patients undergoing urologic surgery. 96 adults were randomly assigned to receive either warm or room-temperature anesthetic. The main goal was to see…

This study tested whether adding hyaluronidase to a common numbing drug (bupivacaine) improves pain control after kidney stone surgery. 100 adults undergoing the procedure received an ultrasound-guided nerve block with or without hyaluronidase. The goal was to see if the combinat…

This study tested if a lidocaine spray and mouth rinse before surgery could reduce stress from inserting a breathing tube, compared to a standard IV painkiller (fentanyl). 50 adults having elective surgery participated. The goal was to see which method better controlled blood pre…

This study tested whether a lower dose of the drug 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 (over 65) during hip surgery with spinal anesthesia. The trial included 84 patients an…

This study compared two pain relief methods for people undergoing lower back decompression surgery. One group received a nerve block (erector spinae plane block), while the other received ketamine through an IV. Researchers measured how well patients recovered using a quality-of-…

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in chest nerve blocks could provide better pain relief after heart surgery. Sixty adults having open-heart surgery through a chest incision received the nerve block with or without the e…

This study compared two ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques—erector spinae plane block and modified thoracoabdominal nerve block—for pain control in 40 obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The goal was to see which method delays the need for rescue pain…

This study compared opioid-free anesthesia (using dexmedetomidine and lidocaine) to standard opioid anesthesia in 86 adults having brain tumor surgery. The goal was to see if the opioid-free approach better controlled blood pressure during stressful moments like drilling into the…

This study tested two approaches for facial rejuvenation in 40 women with mild to moderate aging. One group received three sessions of fractional microneedling radiofrequency, a device that uses tiny needles and heat to tighten skin. The other group did an 8-week facial muscle ex…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after upper abdominal surgeries like Whipple or total gastrectomy. Forty adults received either a rectus sheath block or an external oblique intercostal plane block with bupivacaine. The goal was to se…

This study looked at two methods of draining blood and fluid from the chest after heart surgery. It compared a newer active clearance method that keeps tubes open with standard passive drainage. Researchers reviewed records of 250 adult patients from three heart surgery centers t…

This study looked at 16 people with mycosis fungoides, a rare skin lymphoma, and 16 healthy volunteers. Researchers measured a protein called IL-35, which can suppress the immune system, in blood and skin samples before and after phototherapy (light treatment). They found that IL…
