This study looked at whether a 16-week strength training program can help adults who had a bone marrow transplant as children. The goal was to see if exercise can reduce muscle loss, heart disease, and diabetes risks that often appear years after transplant. 28 survivors and heal…

This study looked at a new way to pace the heart in 150 people with heart failure and a specific type of heart block (left bundle branch block). Instead of the standard pacing method, doctors tried pacing directly at the heart's natural electrical system. The goal was to see if t…

This study looked at 742 older adults with wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who had never been treated before. They received three monthly injections of faricimab, a drug that targets two proteins to reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage. The goal was to see …

This study tested whether a hydrochloric acid lock placed in central lines could reduce treatment failure for bloodstream infections in 212 cancer and blood disease patients. Participants received either the acid lock or a saltwater placebo alongside standard antibiotics. The goa…

This study looked at whether measuring cortisol in saliva works as well as measuring it in blood after taking a small steroid pill. Researchers compared 100 people with adrenal tumors and 100 healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if the simpler saliva test could accurately dete…

This study looked at whether a 4-month supervised strength training program could help people with lymphoma keep their muscle mass while undergoing chemotherapy. 42 patients were split into two groups: one did resistance training, the other received usual care. The main goal was …

This study tested two self-help programs for people with chronic non-cancer pain who are waiting for specialized treatment. The programs used education and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help patients better manage their pain and avoid worsening symptoms. 163 adults participa…

This study tested a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in the neck) to see if it can reduce fatigue in people with lupus. 75 adults with lupus and fatigue took part. Half received active stimulation, half received a sham (inactive) device. The goal…

This study looked at how much time patients spent lying, sitting, or standing after lung surgery (VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy) using enhanced recovery methods. Researchers tracked activity before and after surgery in 51 adults and asked about reasons for not moving. The goal …

This study looked at over 1,200 Danish adults who had a stem cell transplant for blood diseases between 1970 and 2024. Researchers used surveys to measure long-term side effects and quality of life. The goal was to understand what factors help survivors feel better and live well …

This study tested a program to help nurses better support relatives of people with serious brain injuries or brain tumors. The program included a dialogue tool, training for nurses, and videos for families. The goal was to see if this approach could improve how involved and suppo…

This study tested a pain school program for 82 adults with chronic non-cancer pain. The program focused on teaching patients how to manage their pain and improve their quality of life. The goal was to see if patients found the program helpful and relevant to their needs.

This study tracked 165 trauma patients to see how often their blood oxygen drops too low during the first 24 hours after arriving at the hospital. Researchers used a special finger clip to measure oxygen levels continuously. They wanted to find out if low-oxygen episodes happen m…

This study looked at 86 people with severe aortic valve stenosis who had valve replacement surgery. Researchers used special MRI scans to measure scarring in the heart muscle before and one year after surgery. The goal was to see if the heart muscle heals after the valve is repla…

This study looked at whether it is safe to start moving patients with severe brain injuries early in the intensive care unit. 22 adults with traumatic brain injury, bleeding around the brain, or brain hematoma were included. Researchers used a special device called Sara Combilize…

This study tested a new ultrasound method to see the smallest blood vessels in lymph nodes on the neck. Researchers scanned 20 adults (healthy and with head/neck cancer or lymphoma) to compare images from standard ultrasound and the new technique. The goal was to find out if this…

This study tested whether doctors can find the cricothyroid membrane (a crucial spot for emergency airway access) more accurately by touch or by ultrasound. 61 anesthesiologists used either method on a silicone neck model with a shifted voice box, mimicking a patient with a neck …

This study tested whether a non-invasive chest device can reliably measure how much blood the heart pumps at rest and during exercise. Twelve healthy adults (6 men, 6 women) rode a stationary bike while the device tracked their heart function. The goal was to see if the device gi…

This study followed 209 patients with bacterial endocarditis (a serious heart valve infection) to understand how common anemia is and what causes it. Researchers tracked blood markers from diagnosis up to 6 months after hospital discharge. The goal was to better characterize anem…

This study looked at how lupus changes the way the body adapts to exercise. Researchers included 55 adults with lupus who did a 12-week aerobic exercise program. The goal was to understand how certain immune signals affect fitness and fatigue improvements.

This study looked at how removing parts of the small intestine affects hormones that control digestion. Researchers measured these hormones in 39 people who had bowel surgery and compared them to healthy volunteers. The goal was to better understand digestion problems after surge…

This study investigated whether people with COPD have abnormal changes in their lungs during exercise that might cause shortness of breath. Researchers measured lung permeability and tissue mass in 32 participants (16 with COPD and 16 healthy controls) before and after exercise. …

This study aimed to understand how sugar levels in the blood relate to sugar levels inside the brain in patients with severe, sudden brain injuries. Researchers carefully measured sugar in patients' blood and brain fluid to see how they connect. The goal was to gather information…
