This study compares two simple breathing exercises—deep breathing and using a spirometer (a device that measures how much air you breathe in)—to see which one helps people with broken ribs breathe better. The trial will enroll 104 patients with rib fractures from chest trauma. Th…

This study tests two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after lumbar spine surgery. Sixty adults undergoing single-level back surgery will receive either a standard or a modified block. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for opioid painkillers and impro…

This study tests two different nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain after single-level lumbar disc surgery. 70 adults will receive one of the blocks before surgery, and their pain and opioid use will be tracked for 24 hours. The goal is to find a more effective way…

This study tests whether giving a single dose of paracetamol or ibuprofen before septorhinoplasty (nose surgery) can reduce the amount of strong opioid painkillers needed during and after the operation. Fifty-four adults having nose surgery will receive one of the two drugs befor…

This study investigates whether certain progesterone receptors in the placenta are linked to preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy condition marked by high blood pressure. Researchers will compare placental tissue from women with preeclampsia to that from healthy pregnant women, meas…

This study looks at whether a person's hemoglobin (a part of red blood cells) before emergency surgery is linked to developing acute kidney injury afterward. Researchers will follow 420 adults having non-cardiac emergency surgery. The goal is to better understand this connection,…

This study looks at two different nerve blocks used to manage pain after gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will map where on the skin each block causes numbness and see which one covers the surgical cuts better. The goal is to learn more about these blocks to improve pain …

This study looks at whether a newer measure of body shape, called the Body Roundness Index (BRI), can better predict difficult airway placement during anesthesia in obese patients compared to standard BMI. Researchers will enroll 90 obese adults undergoing general anesthesia and …
