This study looked at whether using one breathing tube throughout a lung nodule surgery is as safe as the standard method of switching tubes. Researchers compared two groups of 375 patients who had surgery to remove small lung nodules. They checked for complications and patient co…

This study tested a two-part treatment for pancreatic cancer that had spread only to the liver after the first standard therapy stopped working. Doctors delivered chemotherapy directly into the liver's blood supply, followed by either more liver-targeted treatment or oral medicat…

This study compared two surgical approaches for removing pancreatic and nearby tumors: traditional open surgery versus newer robotic-assisted surgery. Researchers followed 268 patients across multiple hospitals in China to see if the robotic method was at least as good as open su…

This study compared a robotic surgery technique to traditional open surgery for removing thyroid cancer that had spread to neck lymph nodes. It involved 332 patients and aimed to see if the robotic method was just as good at removing the cancer, had similar safety, and left patie…

This study tested if adding a drug called Telitacicept to standard treatment could help control harmful antibody levels in adults with a high-risk type of Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), a condition that causes abnormal blood clotting. Twenty patients were randomly assigned to r…

This study tested which of two specific brain areas is better for deep brain stimulation to control tremors in Parkinson's disease. Twenty-seven patients with tremor-dominant Parkinson's had electrodes implanted in both brain areas and tried each stimulation type in a blinded, ra…

This study looked back at the medical records of 275 people with pemphigus, a severe autoimmune disease that causes painful skin blisters. Researchers compared how well different doses of the drug rituximab worked to control the disease and prevent it from coming back. The goal w…

This study tested a new, non-invasive imaging method called Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) to see if it could better predict when patients in intensive care are ready to breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. Researchers compared this new method against standard…

This study tested a new, easier way to measure blood flow in the lungs of patients who are breathing on their own with oxygen support. Instead of requiring patients to hold their breath, the new method takes measurements during normal breathing. Researchers compared the new metho…

This study tested a new type of brain scan (called [18F]-FD17 PET) to see if it can detect a harmful protein linked to Parkinson's disease and similar conditions. Researchers compared scans from 55 people, including healthy volunteers and patients with Parkinson's, to see how the…
