This study tested a new drug, palopegteriparatide, in 90 adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism, a condition where the body lacks parathyroid hormone. The goal was to see if the drug could help patients stop taking daily vitamin D and calcium supplements. Results showed many pati…

This small pilot study tested whether a sustained-release ammonium chloride formula (with vitamin D) could lower virus levels in 32 adults with mild to moderate COVID-19 or influenza. Participants took the formula or a vitamin D-only control twice daily for 10 days. Researchers m…

This study looked at whether eating more protein (1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight daily, instead of the usual 0.8 grams) could help older adults with type 2 diabetes prevent muscle loss and improve muscle function. 25 participants were followed to measure changes in muscle …

This study looked at whether giving nutrition through a small vein in the arm (peripheral parenteral nutrition) helps patients recover better after colorectal surgery. The trial included 200 adults who had surgery for conditions like colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel diseas…

This study checked if newer psoriasis medications (IL17/23 inhibitors) can also improve heart health by measuring artery stiffness. Researchers followed 66 adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis for one year, comparing those on the new drugs to those on standard treatments. The…

This study looked at whether the phase of the menstrual cycle affects muscle damage and oxygen use after intense exercise. Twelve healthy women with regular cycles did eccentric leg exercises during two different cycle phases. Researchers measured muscle strength, soreness, and o…

This study looked at whether a strong sensitivity to smells (called osmophobia) can help tell the difference between migraine and tension-type headaches. Over 200 adults with either condition tracked their headaches and smell reactions for six months. The goal was to see if osmop…

This study looked at how muscle damage from eccentric exercise (like lowering a weight) affects muscle strength, oxygen use, and electrical activity in the thigh muscles. Eleven healthy young men did a leg exercise before and 48 hours after a muscle-damaging workout. The goal was…

This study looked at how the body uses energy during two types of leg exercises: eccentric (lengthening) and concentric (shortening) contractions. Fourteen healthy young women did knee exercises until they were exhausted. Researchers measured oxygen use, muscle oxygen levels, and…
