This study tested two treatments made from patients' own blood—platelet-rich plasma and platelet-fibrin plasma—to see which works better for healing diabetic foot ulcers. 56 adults with diabetes and slow-healing foot wounds were randomly assigned to receive one of the treatments …

This study looked at whether a supplement called NMN can help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The researchers measured changes in hormone levels, ovarian health, and menstrual cycles. 88 women aged 20-40 with a BMI under 25 took part. The goal was to see if NMN could…

This study looked at how metformin, a diabetes medicine, affects hormone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). 77 women aged 20-40 with PCOS took part. Researchers measured changes in key hormones like luteinizing hormone and testosterone after treatment.

This study tested a gel containing a protein called GM-CSF on 40 people with diabetic wounds that were in the healing (granulation) phase. The gel aims to boost the body's own repair cells to help wounds close faster. Researchers measured how much the wound size shrank and checke…

This study tested whether a mobile app with sensors could help 174 adults with chronic kneecap pain follow their home exercise program. Participants received 1, 3, or 6 face-to-face remote training sessions and then exercised on their own for 6 weeks. The app tracked how much the…

This study tested a portable knee training device in 13 children aged 6-12 with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The goal was to see if regular exercise with the device could improve leg muscle strength and function. Researchers measured muscle size, strength, and nerve activity ov…

This study compared two ways to control pain after minimally invasive heart bypass surgery: a newer erector spinae plane block (ESPB) versus the standard paravertebral block (PVB). 140 patients received one of the two blocks using the numbing drug ropivacaine. The goal was to see…

This study tested whether a portable robot-assisted device could improve knee rehabilitation better than traditional bodyweight exercises. Twelve people with knee injuries (like ACL tears) used either the device or standard rehab for 6 weeks. Researchers measured muscle strength,…

This study tested two types of Kinesio Taping (a special elastic tape) in 42 people with patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee. The goal was to see if the tape could reduce pain and improve how the knee moves during walking, jogging, and other activities. Researchers…

This study tested whether doing strength exercises one leg at a time (unilateral training) helps people regain leg strength and balance better than using both legs together after ACL reconstruction surgery. 48 adults who had surgery at least 3 months ago completed 6 weeks of supe…

This study looked at how people with patellar tendinopathy (a common knee overuse injury in sports) move their legs during side-cutting, compared to healthy individuals. Sixty participants—30 with the injury and 30 without—performed side-cutting tasks while motion capture cameras…

This study looked at whether testing the fluid around embryos (non-invasive chromosome screening, or NICS) can help doctors choose the best embryo for IVF. Over 1,100 couples took part, with women aged 35-42. The goal was to see if adding NICS to standard visual checks leads to m…

This study looked at how accurately wound specialists assess wounds. Researchers surveyed 118 specialists from 9 wound care centers in China, who evaluated 8 standard wound cases. A total of 553 responses were collected to measure assessment accuracy and identify areas for improv…
