This trial tests whether adding a sticky bone graft to a standard gum flap procedure helps cover exposed tooth roots better than the flap alone. It includes 30 adults with mild-to-moderate gum recession. The study measures how much the gum covers the root and how thick the gum ti…

This study tested two types of growth factor membranes (PRGF and CGF) placed around dental implants to see which helps bone heal better. Twenty patients with a damaged front tooth received an implant right after tooth removal, plus one of the membranes. The goal was to measure bo…

This completed study looked at whether giving chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant chemo) helps people with resectable pancreatic cancer live longer compared to having surgery right away. Thirty patients took part. The main goal was to see which approach leads to better overa…

This study looked at whether a specific keyhole surgery (Toupet fundoplication) can help people with a hiatal hernia that causes heartburn but doesn't show up on X-rays. 100 adults with this condition had the surgery and were followed to see if their symptoms came back or if they…

This study tested a surgical technique called Desarda for repairing complicated inguinal (groin) hernias in 150 patients aged 14 and older. The approach uses the patient's own tissue to strengthen the weak spot, avoiding the need for synthetic mesh. Researchers tracked complicati…

This study compared two surgical techniques for fixing inguinal hernias: Desarda's and Lichtenstein's. It involved 200 patients with uncomplicated hernias. The goal was to see which method leads to fewer complications like pain or swelling, and which allows a quicker return to no…

This study tested two different materials for gum grafting in 14 adults with stage 3 gum disease. One material came from the patient's own gum tissue, the other from a donor membrane. The goal was to see which helped gums heal better by measuring pocket depth and attachment level…

This study tested whether a left stellate ganglion block, given before mitral valve replacement, could protect the heart muscle. 62 adults undergoing elective on-pump mitral valve replacement received either a saline placebo or bupivacaine nerve block. Researchers checked for mic…

This study looked at whether removing benign thyroid nodules without placing a surgical drain is safe and effective. Eighty adults having thyroid surgery were randomly assigned to either the standard drain or a no-drain, sutureless technique. The goal was to see if the no-drain a…

This study tested a different surgical method (fundus-first) versus the standard method for removing difficult gallbladders in 174 adults. The goal was to see if the new method lowers the risk of bile duct injury, a serious complication. Participants had conditions like acute cho…

This study tested two different irrigation (rinsing) methods used just before repairing a hole in a tooth's root (furcation perforation). Forty adults with this type of tooth damage received either a chitosan or sodium hypochlorite rinse. Researchers measured pain levels and heal…

This study looked at whether taking statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) can reduce hearing loss caused by platinum-based chemotherapy in people with solid tumors. 56 adults who were about to start chemotherapy took part. The goal was to see if statins could protect their ears fr…

This completed study looked at 200 adults having hemorrhoid surgery. Half also had a small cut in a muscle around the anus (lateral internal sphincterotomy). Researchers measured pain and accidental leakage of gas or stool after surgery. The goal was to see if the extra cut helps…

This completed study from Minia University looked at 200 patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (an inflamed thyroid) who had thyroid surgery. The goal was to see how often thyroid cancer is found by accident when examining the removed tissue. Researchers checked for cancer in pati…

This study looked at 30 colorectal cancer patients to see if tumor deposits (small clusters of cancer cells found near the main tumor) can help predict survival and whether the cancer spreads to other organs. Researchers tracked overall survival and the appearance of new metastas…

This completed study looked at whether certain blood cell tests can predict early worsening in sepsis patients. Researchers followed 161 adults in intensive care for up to 5 days after diagnosis. They compared white blood cell profiles and platelet indices to see which better pre…

This study looked at whether the ratio of two types of blood cells (platelets and lymphocytes) can predict heart complications in people on long-term dialysis. Researchers followed 80 dialysis patients to see if this simple blood test ratio was linked to problems like hardening o…

This study looked at two methods for fixing a tissue graft after removing a pterygium, a growth on the eye's surface. In 30 patients with pterygium in both eyes, one eye received stitches and the other did not. Researchers used special imaging to compare healing, comfort, and gra…

This study looked at whether high bilirubin levels in the blood can help doctors quickly tell if appendicitis is complicated. Researchers studied 400 people who had their appendix removed. The goal was to see if this cheap, fast test could help doctors make better decisions about…
