This study tested a new way to perform surgery for large kidney stones. It compared a simpler method where the patient stays in one position to the traditional method that requires repositioning the patient. The goal was to see if the new approach is safe, works as well, and can …

This study compared two ways of doing minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer. One method uses a breathing tube and ventilator, while a newer 'tubeless' method lets patients breathe on their own. Researchers wanted to see if the tubeless method causes less lung damage, helps p…

This study tested a new 'tubeless' anesthesia method for lung transplant surgery. Instead of using a standard breathing tube, doctors used a different airway device and sedation plan. The goal was to see if patients could wake up faster, avoid needing a breathing machine after su…

This study tested a new, smaller surgical scope called the 'Aircraft Nephroscope' for removing kidney stones. Doctors used it during a common procedure (PCNL) on 216 patients to see if it was safe and effective. The main goal was to see how many patients were completely stone-fre…

This study tested a new, non-invasive method for precisely locating multiple small lung nodules before surgery, comparing it to the standard needle-based approach. It involved 40 patients with small lung nodules to see if the new method could help surgeons successfully remove the…

This study looked at whether tracking changes in two simple urine test results—white blood cells and nitrites—in the days before a common kidney stone surgery could help predict which patients are at higher risk for developing a fever or serious bloodstream infection afterward. R…

This study aimed to find simple tests that could predict whether people with chronic cough would respond to steroid inhaler treatment. Researchers followed 502 adults with persistent cough for 8+ weeks, testing their blood and breath before treatment. The goal was to identify mar…
