This study tested whether a left stellate ganglion block (a nerve block near the neck) given before mitral valve replacement surgery could protect the heart muscle from damage. 62 adults undergoing elective on-pump mitral valve replacement were included. Researchers looked at hea…

This study tested two different materials for gum grafts in 14 people with advanced gum disease (Stage III periodontitis). One material was a piece of the patient's own gum tissue, and the other was a special membrane made from cow tissue. The goal was to see which one helped the…

This study looked at 40 people who had a small hole (perforation) in the root of a back tooth. Before repairing the hole, dentists used one of two different rinsing methods. The goal was to see which rinse led to less pain and better healing over 9 months. Pain was measured using…

This study looked at 200 adults having hemorrhoid surgery. Half also got a small cut in a muscle around the anus (lateral internal sphincterotomy) to see if it reduces pain and accidental gas or stool leakage. The goal was to find which approach leads to a smoother recovery.

This study tested a different surgical approach (fundus-first) versus the standard method for removing gallbladders that are hard to operate on. 174 adults with severe gallbladder inflammation or other complicating factors took part. The goal was to see if the new technique lower…

This study looked at whether taking statins, a common cholesterol medicine, can lower the risk of 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…

This study tested two methods of securing a tissue graft after removing a pterygium (a growth on the eye). In 30 patients with pterygium in both eyes, one eye received stitches and the other a stitchless technique. The goal was to see which method leads to faster healing, less di…

This study explored whether the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), a simple blood test, can predict heart and blood vessel complications in people on long-term hemodialysis. Researchers followed 80 dialysis patients to see if higher PLR was linked to issues like artery hardening…

This study looked at whether certain white blood cell and platelet tests can help predict early worsening in sepsis patients. Researchers followed 161 adults in the ICU, checking if these blood markers could signal a rise in organ failure, septic shock, or death within the first …

This study looked at 400 people with appendicitis to see if high bilirubin levels in the blood could predict a more serious infection. Researchers measured bilirubin before surgery to check if it helped identify complicated cases. The goal is to use this simple, low-cost test to …
