This study tested whether a new sloped dental implant can keep bone and gum tissue healthy without the need for a bone graft. 40 adults with a missing tooth received either a standard implant with a bone graft or a sloped implant without one. Researchers measured bone levels and …

This study looked at 32 people who needed a second surgery to fix a torn knee ligament (ACL). Surgeons used a donated Achilles tendon to rebuild the ligament, and in half the cases added a special support called InternalBrace. The goal was to see if the extra support led to bette…

This study looked at whether taking a special iron supplement for three months could raise hemoglobin levels in blood donors who have low iron. Fifty donors with iron deficiency took the supplement, and researchers measured changes in their blood and quality of life. The goal was…

This study tested whether a new type of ceramic (zirconia) dental implant works as well as standard titanium implants when placed right after a tooth is removed. 33 adults with good oral health and enough jawbone received either a zirconia or titanium implant. Researchers measure…

This study tested two types of ankle braces in 14 children with cerebral palsy to see which better improves muscle health and movement. One brace was worn all day, while the other allowed more muscle activity during the day. The goal was to find a treatment that reduces stiffness…

This study tested whether a 4-week cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program could help people with functional tremor (a movement disorder not caused by brain damage) feel better and move more easily. Twenty adults with the condition took part, and researchers measured changes i…

This study reviewed medical records of 263 severely injured trauma patients to find out how often they develop early blood clotting issues (called trauma-induced coagulopathy) and excessive clot breakdown (hyperfibrinolysis) within the first hour of arriving at the emergency room…

This study looked at 24 children with fingertip amputations who were treated with a semi-occlusive wound dressing, which is standard care. Researchers tracked pain levels and how well the finger healed, including length and movement. The goal was to understand the typical healing…

This study looked at 39 adults who received a single dental implant crown to replace a missing tooth. Researchers compared three attachment methods—screw-retained, cemented, and the Acuris system—to see how they affected gum inflammation and bone loss around the implant over one …

This study looked at 20 people who needed dental implants in their lower jaw because they had no teeth there. Researchers compared implants that were immediately used for chewing (loaded) with those that were left to heal first (non-loaded). The goal was to gather information on …

This study created a registry for children and young adults with severe immune cytopenias—conditions where the immune system attacks blood cells. Researchers observed 80 participants over up to 4 years, collecting data on symptoms, treatments, and lab results. The goal was to imp…

This study looked back at 16 people who had a tooth moved from one spot to another in their mouth (autotransplantation) along with a special procedure to help the tooth's blood supply return. The goal was to see if the tooth survived and if blood flow came back. The study was com…

This study explored whether long-term stress before catching COVID-19 makes it more likely to develop long COVID. Researchers followed 380 adults who tested positive for COVID-19 and tracked their symptoms beyond four weeks. The goal was to see if chronic stress is a risk factor,…

This study tested a new way to find early signs of lung damage in people with COPD or ILD by analyzing carbon dioxide (CO2) in their breath in real time. The goal was to detect changes before standard lung function tests show any problems. Researchers compared breath patterns amo…

This study looked at whether being physically active over a lifetime is linked to developing a rare heart condition called wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. Researchers compared exercise histories of 180 people over age 60—some with the condition, some with heart fa…

This study looked at whether drinking more water could help dentists create more of a natural healing material from a patient's own blood. The material, called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), is used to help gums and bone heal after dental implant surgery. Researchers measured how mu…
