This study looks at two common treatments for prostate cancer that has not spread outside the organ: surgery to remove the prostate and radiation therapy. Researchers want to see which one better controls the cancer and prevents it from coming back. The study will review past rec…

This study aims to see if a special 3D color ultrasound can accurately predict how deeply the placenta has attached to the womb in pregnant women. Researchers will compare ultrasound images taken before delivery with what doctors find during surgery. The goal is to improve diagno…

This study tests a different way of taking the chemotherapy pill capecitabine for colorectal cancer. Instead of the standard schedule, patients take the drug for 7 days followed by 7 days off. The goal is to see if this pattern improves quality of life. About 100 patients with go…

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (superficial cervical plexus block) can reduce pain after neck surgery. Sixty adults having elective neck surgery under general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive the block or not. The main goal is to see if t…

This study compares two drugs, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, when added to standard spinal anesthesia for people having surgery to fix a broken pelvis. The goal is to see which one provides longer pain relief and better recovery. Sixty adults aged 20 to 80 are taking part.

This study looks at how often children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome have high calcium levels in their urine. Researchers will check 50 children aged 2 to 16 who are on steroid therapy. The goal is simply to measure how common this condition is, not to test a new trea…

This study examines how genetic factors, acquired risks, and different treatments influence survival and recovery in people with visceral venous thrombosis (blood clots in abdominal organs). Researchers will follow 101 adult patients, collecting medical records and blood samples …

This study looks at how often pre-hypertension (higher than normal blood pressure) occurs in children and teens aged 6 to 18 who have type 1 diabetes for at least one year. Researchers will carefully measure blood pressure using a standard device on multiple visits. The goal is t…

This study looks back at 100 newborns who had a flexible bronchoscopy (a tiny camera placed into the airways) in the NICU over the past 10 years. The goal is to see how often this procedure helped doctors find the exact cause of breathing issues and guide treatment. It includes b…

This study looks at whether a 48-hour test with a substance called BH4 can predict how well people with phenylketonuria (PKU) will respond to treatment. Researchers gave 20 participants BH4 and measured their blood phenylalanine levels over two days. They also checked if the resp…

This study looked at whether using a small camera (endoscope) during surgery helps doctors repair broken bones in the face more safely and effectively. Thirty adults with certain types of face fractures were included. The main goal was to see if this technique reduces the risk of…

This study tests a new way to predict if placing a breathing tube (intubation) will be hard. It combines a person's height and jaw size with checks for airway blockage and neck movement. Researchers will study 350 adults to see if this method works better than current tools.

This study looks at the symptoms and lab results of people with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), also known as Niemann-Pick disease, a rare genetic disorder. Researchers will track changes in spleen and liver size over 12 months to better understand how the disease progre…
