This study tested three cavity treatments in 60 children aged 4-8 years: the Hall Technique (crown without drilling), silver diamine fluoride (a liquid that stops decay), and standard fillings. Each child received all three treatments on different teeth. The goal was to see which…

This study tested custom-made titanium meshes to rebuild lost jawbone in 15 people who needed dental implants. The meshes were designed using 3D imaging and computer modeling to fit each person's defect. Results showed that the meshes helped grow new bone, though some meshes beca…

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses for 30 minutes each evening could improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and stabilize vital signs in intensive care patients with COPD. Fifty patients took part, with half receiving VR sessions for a week and the other…

This study tested whether watching an animated video through virtual reality (VR) glasses before surgery could reduce anxiety and fear in children aged 7-13 and their mothers. Sixty children having surgery for the first time and their mothers participated. The goal was to make th…

This study tested whether slow-stroke back massage can reduce pain and fatigue in women with fibromyalgia. 48 women received either the massage or standard care. The massage was given 3 times a week for 10 minutes each session. Researchers measured pain using a 0-10 scale and fat…

This study tested whether keeping a diary of breathing exercises helps prevent lung complications and improves recovery after major abdominal surgery. 60 adults who had surgery like colon or liver resection took part. For 3 days after surgery, one group used a diary to track thei…

This study tested a less invasive way to perform jaw surgery (Le Fort I) in 47 adults aged 18-40. The goal was to see if the new method reduces bleeding, pain, and swelling compared to the standard surgery. Researchers measured recovery time and how quickly patients regained feel…

This study tested whether adding a propolis (a bee product) mouth care routine could prevent or reduce mouth sores in 60 adults with COPD in the intensive care unit. Half received standard mouth care plus propolis for 15 days, while the other half received standard care alone. Re…

This study looked at whether giving precise amounts of fluid during coronary artery bypass surgery can prevent or reduce memory and thinking problems that often occur after the operation. Researchers monitored 60 patients using special devices to guide fluid delivery. The goal wa…

This study looked at 60 children aged 3-12 who had inguinal hernia repair surgery. Researchers compared two types of anesthesia: one given through a vein (target-controlled infusion) and one inhaled (sevoflurane). They measured how stable the children's vital signs were during su…

This study tested whether a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block can reduce pain and the need for painkillers after robotic-assisted partial kidney surgery. 46 adults aged 18 to 70 were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard care. The goal wa…

This study tested whether numbing sprays (lidocaine or benzocaine) can reduce pain and improve satisfaction when inserting needles into the dialysis access site. Sixty adults on hemodialysis were randomly assigned to receive one of the two numbing sprays or a placebo spray right …

This study looked at two different nerve blocks (TAP and TFP) to see which one provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. 90 women were split into three groups: one got a TAP block, one got a TFP block, and one got no block. Researchers measured pain levels and how lo…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks (TFP and TAP) to see which one works better for pain after robotic prostate removal. 108 men who were in good health before surgery took part. The goal was to find which block reduces pain, cuts the need for extra pain medicine, and hel…

This study surveyed 294 nurses at a Turkish hospital to see if their attitudes toward artificial intelligence are related to their critical thinking skills. Researchers used two questionnaires to measure both factors. The goal was to understand how nurses might best be trained to…

This study tested whether using the length of the lower spine to calculate the dose of bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) for C-sections works better than the usual method based on height and weight. 446 women having planned C-sections were randomly assigned to receive a dose based…
