This study looked at how well a special stent (the Gore IBE device) works in real-world use for people with bulging blood vessels (aneurysms) in the belly or pelvis. Researchers tracked 100 patients who already had the device implanted to check if it stayed open and kept the aneu…

This study looked back at 134 patients under 75 who had a partial hip replacement after a broken hip. The goal was to see how often the hip socket wears down over time and how often that leads to a second surgery. Researchers also checked if a common way to measure socket erosion…

This study looks at how physically active people are 15 years after hip replacement or hip resurfacing surgery. Researchers asked 32 patients who had surgery in 2007-2008 to wear small activity trackers on their wrist and thigh for a few days and fill out a questionnaire. The goa…

This study looked at 511 patients who had surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel in the belly) to find out what makes some people develop dangerously low blood pressure after the operation. The researchers reviewed medical records from 2013 to 2021…

This study looked at 18 women who had sleeve gastrectomy surgery 2-3 years earlier. Researchers compared stomach emptying rates between those who lost a lot of weight (over 35% of total weight) and those who lost little (under 25%). They used MRI and a special scan to measure how…

This study looked at whether MRI scans can help doctors predict if a coma patient will recover brain function after a cardiac arrest. Researchers followed 94 comatose patients in the ICU, scanning their brains at different times. The goal was to improve how doctors identify patie…

This study looked back at 268 people who had a wide-neck abdominal aortic aneurysm repaired with the Endurant stent graft. Researchers checked how many needed additional procedures within one year and up to ten years after surgery. They also tracked any leaks around the graft. Th…

This study combines data from nearly 1,000 patients who received a special stent-graft (the GORE VIABAHN with a heparin coating) for peripheral artery disease in the leg. Researchers want to see how well the device keeps arteries open over time and which patient factors affect su…

This completed study observed 563 patients who had weight-loss (bariatric) surgery and received extra oxygen during their first night in the hospital. Researchers tracked how often oxygen levels fell below 90% and what actions nurses took, like adjusting the oxygen flow or reposi…
