This study tested a new continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) system in 16 adults with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pumps. Participants wore the CKM sensor for 14 days and followed special diets with a short insulin stop to see if the device accurately measures ketones compared t…

This study tested whether 14 weeks of supervised exercise (aerobic and resistance training) could reduce chronic low back pain in 57 adults. Researchers looked at changes in brain connectivity and immune-related gene activity to understand how exercise might relieve pain. The goa…

This study tested a smartphone app called Petit Cactus that uses photo recognition to help people with type 1 diabetes count carbohydrates. 73 participants used the app for 3 months while researchers tracked how often they logged meals, their blood sugar control, and user satisfa…

This study uses a calf brain model with built-in sensors to measure the forces surgeons apply during a simulated brain surgery procedure. Researchers aim to understand how much force is used with different tools, which has never been measured in a realistic setting. Medical stude…

This study looked at whether playing Mozart's piano sonata during a surgical simulation training session helps medical students improve their technical skills. 97 medical students from Quebec universities were randomly assigned to listen to music or not while practicing on a virt…

This pilot study tests whether omeprazole, a common heartburn drug, changes how well the body absorbs protein from food. Four healthy adults aged 50-60 will eat a standard meal with and without the drug, and researchers will measure amino acid levels in their blood. The goal is t…

This study looks at whether taking a cold bath right after exercise or waiting a bit helps athletes recover better. Twelve healthy athletes will do intense workouts, then take a cold bath at different times. Researchers will measure muscle strength and blood amino acid levels to …

This study looks at how much protein adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) need each day to support muscle health. Researchers will test different amino acid intakes in 10 participants using a non-invasive technique. The goal is to improve dietary recommendati…

This study looked at whether drinking a ketone supplement can increase muscle protein synthesis (muscle repair and growth) after resistance exercise in 48 healthy young adults. Researchers compared the effects of the ketone drink alone, with whey protein, or with plain water. The…

This study tested whether a shortened FIFA 11+ warm-up program and female-specific soccer cleats change movement patterns linked to injury during cutting (sudden direction changes). Sixty-four healthy youth soccer players aged 13-17 took part. The warm-up part compared the FIFA 1…

This study looked at the best ways to help university students stick with stress management techniques over time. Researchers compared three approaches: workshop booster sessions, online community drop-ins, and digital reminders, against a group that got no extra support. A total…

This study tested whether an online training platform called SUPPORT-Pro could increase healthcare professionals' confidence in treating people with type 1 diabetes. The platform provides evidence-based, regularly updated content on topics like medication, diet, and glucose monit…

This study tested a website called SUPPORT that provides online courses and a discussion forum to help adults with type 1 diabetes better manage low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Researchers wanted to see if the platform was satisfying, engaging, and could reduce fear and frequency…

This study tested whether drinking a ketone monoester supplement changes hormone levels in healthy young men after a single session of resistance exercise. Twelve participants did leg presses and curls, then had their blood tested for testosterone and growth hormone over four hou…
