This study tests whether an artificial intelligence system can safely and effectively adjust insulin doses for people with type 2 diabetes while they are in the hospital. About 144 participants will be randomly assigned to have their insulin doses set either by the AI system or b…

This study tests a new endoscopic method that uses two instruments at once to remove foreign bodies (like swallowed objects) stuck in the upper digestive tract. The technique is for cases where a single tool fails or the object is lodged in a narrow area. Researchers reviewed rec…

This study looked at whether the drug avatrombopag can safely and effectively raise platelet counts in people who develop dangerously low platelets after a liver transplant. Researchers compared 67 patients who received the drug with 67 similar patients who got standard care. The…

This study looked at different treatments for people whose leg artery stents had become completely blocked. It included 322 adults with severe leg pain or wounds. The goal was to see how well the treatments restored blood flow and how long it lasted without needing another proced…

This completed study looked at whether evolocumab, a cholesterol-lowering injection, can reduce major heart problems in people who had a heart attack and have several blocked arteries. Researchers analyzed data from 1862 patients to see if the drug lowers the risk of cardiac deat…

This study looked at whether adding a mix of three drugs (thalidomide, carmofur, and a traditional Chinese medicine) to a standard procedure called TACE helps people with advanced liver cancer live longer. The study involved 545 patients and compared the combination treatment to …

This completed study tested whether canagliflozin, a diabetes drug, can reduce scarring in the heart muscle of people with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for heart problems. 45 participants were randomly assigned to take either canagliflozin or sitagliptin daily. Researcher…

This study tested whether starting with a special CT scan (CT perfusion) could safely reduce the need for invasive heart catheterization in 180 patients with a mild type of heart attack called NSTEMI. Patients in the CT group first got a CT scan, and only those with concerning re…

This completed study tested an artificial intelligence model that analyzes chest CT scans to help diagnose and manage Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Researchers used data from 400 ICU patients to train the AI to classify ARDS severity, recommend treatments, and predi…

This study tests whether ciprofol, a newer sedative, causes fewer drops in blood pressure than the standard drug propofol when ICU patients need an emergency breathing tube. About 100 critically ill adults will receive one of the two drugs before intubation. The goal is to find a…

This completed study used artificial intelligence to analyze electrocardiograms (ECGs) and chest X-rays from over 116,000 adults. The goal was to see if combining these routine tests could predict which patients would develop moderate or severe heart valve regurgitation. The rese…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could predict a person's risk of developing a specific type of heart failure (HFrEF) up to 5 years in the future, using only a standard ECG. Researchers analyzed data from over 286,000 adults in China and the US. The goal was…

This study looked at 120 adults with breast, pancreatic, or biliary cancer to see if a new 3D measurement method (TDTP-RECIST) is better than the standard way (RECIST 1.1) for tracking tumor shrinkage before surgery. Researchers compared imaging results with actual tumor tissue r…

This completed study explored the link between blood sugar levels and heart rate variability in 20 critically ill patients without diabetes. Researchers wanted to understand how stress-related high blood sugar (stress hyperglycemia) relates to the body's nervous system. The study…

This completed observational study looked at 3,000 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who received immunotherapy plus chemotherapy. Researchers built a model using chest CT scans, lung function tests, and immune markers to predict how well the treatment would work an…

This study looked at over 1,600 people with esophageal cancer to compare two surgical methods: a newer, less invasive technique called IVMTE and a standard approach called VME. Researchers checked how well patients recovered after surgery and how long they lived without the cance…
