This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing kidney stones that are 2 to 4 centimeters in size. The newer method, called suction mini-PCNL, uses a smaller tube and suction to remove stone fragments, while the standard method uses a larger tube. The goal is to see if t…

This study tested a new miniature endoscope called the 'Aircraft Nephroscope' for removing kidney stones. 216 patients underwent surgery with this device to see if it is safe and effective. The main goal was to check how many stones were completely removed and how many complicati…

This study tested a new way to do lung transplants without the usual breathing tube. Instead, patients used a laryngeal mask and breathed on their own during surgery. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and helps patients recover faster. Thirty adults on the lung transpl…

This study tested a new way to do lung cancer surgery without using a breathing tube or ventilator. Instead, patients breathe on their own during the operation. The goal was to see if this 'tubeless' method causes less lung injury, helps patients recover faster, and reduces pollu…

This pilot study tested a new, non-invasive way to locate multiple small lung nodules (under 20 mm) before surgery, comparing it to the standard CT-guided needle method. Forty people with early-stage lung cancer took part. The goal was to see if the new method could help surgeons…

This study watches 300 lung cancer patients to see how they recover after one of two surgeries: removing a small part of the lung (sublobar resection) or a larger section (lobectomy). Participants wear a digital device and answer questions about pain, cough, and tiredness. The go…

This study looked at 80 people who had a lung transplant to see if measuring neural respiratory drive (a breathing signal) and a protein called Pro-BNP could predict when their condition might get worse. The goal is to catch problems like infection or rejection early so treatment…

This study looked at whether a common step in kidney stone surgery—placing a tube from the bladder to the kidney—can be skipped. 140 adults with large kidney stones were randomly assigned to get the standard surgery or a version without the tube. The goal was to see if the simple…

This study tested whether three simple measurements—blood eosinophils, FeNO (a breath test), and total IgE—can predict how well patients with chronic cough respond to inhaled corticosteroids. Over 500 adults with a cough lasting 8 weeks or more participated. The goal was to help …

This study examined 346 adults who had kidney stone surgery to see if changes in their urine white blood cells and nitrite levels before the operation could predict serious infections like fever or sepsis afterward. The goal was to find a faster, simpler way to identify high-risk…
