This study tested whether verapamil, a drug usually used for high blood pressure, can help preserve insulin-making cells in adults newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. 136 participants received either verapamil or a placebo for 12 months. The main goal was to see if verapamil co…

This study looked at two ways to do revision ACL surgery—using an Achilles tendon graft alone or with an extra InternalBrace for support. Thirty-two people with a failed ACL graft were randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. Researchers measured knee function, symptoms, a…

This study tested a new dental implant with a sloped neck against a standard implant that requires bone grafting. Forty adults needing a single tooth replacement were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal was to see if the sloped design could maintain bone and gum …

This study tested whether two-piece zirconia dental implants work as well as standard titanium implants when placed right after a tooth is pulled. Thirty-three adults with good oral health received either a zirconia or titanium implant. Researchers measured implant stability and …

This pilot study looked at whether taking an iron supplement called sucrosomial iron for three months can raise hemoglobin levels in blood donors who have iron deficiency. Fifty donors with low iron took the supplement daily. Researchers measured changes in hemoglobin, ferritin, …

This study followed 24 children with fingertip amputations who were treated with a semi-occlusive dressing, a type of bandage that keeps the wound moist. Researchers tracked pain levels using a pain diary and measured finger healing, including length loss and movement. The goal w…

This study tested a 4-week app-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program in 20 people with functional tremor. Participants used the app to practice reframing upsetting thoughts and were compared to a group that simply reflected on their day. The goal was to see if the CBT …

This study observed 50 heart surgery patients in the ICU to see how often they were deeply sedated using a brain activity monitor (BIS). The monitor readings were hidden from doctors, so they didn't affect care. The goal was to understand if deep sedation affects recovery time, i…

This study looked at how alcohol affects tremors in people with essential tremor, dystonia, and Parkinson's disease. 45 participants received either an alcoholic drink or a non-alcoholic placebo on separate days. Researchers measured tremor changes using a motion sensor and clini…

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

This study tested two types of ankle braces in 14 children with cerebral palsy to see which better improves muscle length and function. One group wore a standard brace almost all day, while the other wore it less and used a special foot shell that allows more movement. The goal w…

This study looked at whether the amount of water a person drinks changes the quality of a healing material made from their own blood, called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). PRF is used in dental procedures to help tissues heal. The researchers tested blood samples from 26 healthy adu…

This study looked at a new way to transplant mature teeth that might help them regain blood supply. Researchers reviewed the outcomes of 16 people who had this procedure. The goal was to see if the teeth survived and if blood flow returned.

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

This completed study with 39 participants looked at three ways to attach a single crown to a dental implant: screw retention, cementation, and a friction-only system (Acuris). The goal was to see if the attachment method affects gum inflammation (measured by a biomarker called MM…

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. Researchers aimed to detect changes before standard lung function tests show any problems. The study included 40 adults, inclu…

This study involved 20 patients with no teeth in their lower jaw who needed six dental implants. Researchers compared implants that were immediately loaded (with a temporary tooth) to those left unloaded or healed under the gum. The goal was to gather information on implant survi…

This completed registry study followed 80 children and young adults with severe immune cytopenias, including immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and Evans syndrome. Researchers observed participants over up to 4 years to improve diagnosis and track the disease c…

This study looked at whether chronic stress before catching COVID-19 makes long COVID more likely. Researchers followed 380 adults who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and had symptoms. They measured stress levels and tracked whether symptoms lasted beyond four weeks. The goal is t…
