This study tested two different procedures to treat narrowing in the throat or windpipe (subglottic or upper tracheal stenosis). One method uses a special device to gently widen the airway, while the other removes scar tissue and places a small graft from the inside of the cheek.…

This study tested whether dapagliflozin, a drug typically used for diabetes, can help people with chronic kidney disease who do not have diabetes. One hundred adults took either the drug or a placebo daily for 12 months. Researchers measured kidney function, anemia markers, and h…

This study compared different types of tooth-colored fillings (bulk-fill composites) used to repair cavities in back teeth. Forty adults with at least four cavities received these fillings and were checked over two years to see how well they held up. The goal was to find which fi…

This study looked at a special gel made from the patient's own blood, called albumin platelet-rich fibrin, used during sinus lift surgery to place dental implants. Thirty-two adults with missing upper back teeth and not enough bone height took part. The goal was to see how stable…

This study tested three methods to hold the jaw together after a fracture: traditional arch bars, screws, and a hybrid approach. Twenty-four adults with jaw fractures took part. The goal was to see which method keeps the bite stable and is fastest to apply.

This study tested four different flowable resin composite materials used to fill small cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Ten people aged 18 to 25 with cavities on both sides of their mouth took part. Researchers checked how well the fillings held up over two years a…

This study looked at whether breathing in nitroglycerin (a drug that widens blood vessels) is safe and effective for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Twenty adults with PAH took part. The goal was to see if the drug could relax the lung's blood vessels and lower…

This study tested two materials—a blood-derived platelet-rich fibrin or a hyaluronate-enriched bone graft—to widen a narrow upper jawbone so dental implants could be placed later. Thirty-four adults with a thin ridge (3-6 mm wide) but adequate bone height received the treatment v…

This study tested whether dental students can learn to apply pit and fissure sealants (a coating that prevents cavities) through a video demonstration instead of in-person training. Fifty children aged 7 to 9 received sealants on their back molars from students trained either by …

This study tested whether adding a single dose of a muscle relaxant (tizanidine) to a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) improves pain control after mastectomy. 90 adults having breast removal surgery took part. The goal was to see if the combination delays the need for ext…

This study tested two different ways of placing four implants to support a lower denture with a special bar attachment. The goal was to see which method led to higher patient satisfaction and fewer problems like loose parts or breakage. Thirty adults with good oral health took pa…

This study looked at whether dentures made with a digital, 3D-printing process help people chew and swallow better than dentures made the traditional way. Fourteen adults with no teeth tried both types for three months each. Researchers measured how they ate a cracker, counting b…

This study tested two ways to perform sinus surgery: a newer ultrasonic device (piezosurgery) versus the traditional bone-cutting method. Forty adults with various sinus conditions took part. The goal was to see which method caused less bleeding, took less time, and led to less n…

This study tested whether a learning instruction package could improve outcomes for people with knee osteoarthritis. 71 adults aged 20 to 60 with knee osteoarthritis took part. The package aimed to teach patients about their condition and how to manage it, with the goal of easing…

This study looked at 10 people getting full-arch dental implants to see which type of temporary teeth works best. The goal was to compare gum health and problems like breakage among three different temporary prostheses. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three grou…

This study followed 27 people who had four implants in their lower jaw to support a denture. Researchers measured bone loss around the implants and how well the denture stayed in place over seven years. The goal was to understand long-term outcomes, not to test a new treatment.

This study looked at 60 people who needed dental implants in their upper back teeth. It compared three techniques: using Densah burs, a magnetic mallet, and conventional drilling. The goal was to see which method made the implant most stable right after placement and during the f…

This study looked at 28 ICU patients on breathing machines to see if a diaphragm ultrasound could detect a specific breathing problem called double triggering. Researchers compared the ultrasound results to standard ventilator readings. The goal was to find a better way to monito…
