This study looked at whether a low-carbohydrate diet could help children and teens (ages 10-18) with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. Twenty-five participants followed the diet for a short time, and researchers measured their blood glucose levels. The goal was to …

This study looked at how aerobic and resistance exercise impact blood sugar levels after eating in children and teens (ages 10-18) with type 1 diabetes. Forty-nine participants did different types of exercise, and their blood sugar was tracked for six hours after meals. The goal …

This study tested whether a special ultrasound technique called strain elastography can help tell the difference between harmless and cancerous breast lumps. Researchers measured how stiff each lump was, since cancer tends to be stiffer. The goal was to improve diagnosis and redu…

This completed study looked at whether a special PET scan using 18F-FDG can help doctors more accurately diagnose, stage, and track stomach cancer. Researchers studied 50 patients with confirmed gastric cancer, comparing scan results to other tests. The goal was to see if this im…

This study compared evening primrose oil (a natural oil) with misoprostol (a standard drug) for softening the cervix before operative hysteroscopy. 230 women participated. Researchers measured how easily the cervix could be dilated and noted any complications like bleeding or tea…

This study looked at 100 adults getting a gastrointestinal endoscopy to compare two drug combos for sedation: dexmedetomidine-propofol versus ketamine-propofol. The goal was to see which combo provides better stability during the procedure and fewer side effects like nausea, vomi…

This study looked at whether a nose spray medicine called midazolam can help calm preschool children (ages 2-6) before they have surgery to remove their tonsils and adenoids. The goal was to make the children less anxious and more comfortable before anesthesia. The study included…

This study tested whether adding the oral drug midodrine to standard IV norepinephrine helps critically ill patients with shock stop IV blood pressure support sooner. 112 stable ICU patients on low-dose norepinephrine were included. The goal was to see if midodrine shortens weani…

This study compared two spinal anesthetics—prilocaine and bupivacaine—in 142 women having planned C-sections. Researchers measured how quickly each drug caused numbness and muscle relaxation, and how long those effects lasted. The goal was to see if prilocaine could be a good alt…

This study tested whether giving the sedative dexmedetomidine during open heart surgery can help protect patients' thinking and memory afterward. Researchers measured brain function with a simple test and checked a blood marker of brain injury. The trial included 32 adults having…

This study tested a special type of prostate surgery (TURP) designed to preserve the ability to ejaculate. 90 men with an enlarged prostate who had not responded to medication took part. The goal was to see if the surgery could improve urination while maintaining sexual function.
