This study aims to develop an early warning system for a dangerous complication called delayed cerebral ischemia, which can cause more brain damage after a stroke. Researchers will use machine learning to analyze brain signals and test blood for specific proteins to see if they c…

This study aims to validate new, painless ultrasound scans as a way to diagnose and monitor liver disease in children, potentially replacing the need for invasive biopsies. Researchers will test these imaging techniques on 550 children with various liver conditions or who are at …

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) software can help doctors find and classify colon polyps better than a standard colonoscopy. About 915 patients over age 50 will be randomly assigned to have their colonoscopy done with or without the AI tool. The main go…

This study is testing whether checking for heart and blood vessel risk factors in people over 50 who have a new seizure can help prevent future strokes and heart problems. Researchers will follow 420 participants for one year to see if managing these risks makes a difference. The…

This study is testing if a hidden spinal cord stimulator is truly effective for people with chronic leg pain after back surgery. Fifty participants will have a device implanted and will unknowingly receive either real stimulation or a fake (sham) treatment for several months to s…

This study aims to develop a computer model to better predict which people with diabetes are at high risk for developing foot ulcers, a serious complication that can lead to infection and amputation. Researchers will use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the health records …

This study aims to improve the selection of patients for a specialized, advanced form of cardiac arrest treatment called ECPR. Researchers will follow 700 patients to identify which factors predict not just survival, but also good long-term brain function and life satisfaction. T…

This study aims to discover what causes systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and find markers that can predict how the disease will progress or respond to treatment. Researchers will collect and analyze blood, skin, and DNA samples from 150 patients in Sweden. The goal is to identify…

This study aims to compare two methods for monitoring a patient's carbon dioxide levels during a specific liver tumor procedure. When a special high-frequency breathing technique is used, doctors cannot use the standard breath monitor. Researchers will compare readings from a ski…

This study aims to compare two emergency treatments for severe blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) to see which leads to fewer serious bleeding events and deaths. Researchers will follow 220 patients across Nordic countries who receive either standard clot-busting medic…
