This study looked at 85 very premature babies (24-29 weeks) with breathing problems to compare two types of non-invasive breathing support: nasal CPAP and nasal IPPV. Both methods deliver surfactant (a lung treatment) without a breathing tube. The goal was to see which method red…

This study looked at whether a brain-computer interface (BCI)-based attention training program, used alone or with medications like methylphenidate or citicoline, can improve attention and executive function in school-age children with ADHD. 174 children participated in this real…

This study looked at whether injecting a person's own concentrated platelets (PRP) around the eye could help treat a sudden loss of vision caused by poor blood flow to the optic nerve. 31 adults with this condition were randomly assigned to receive either PRP injections or just o…

This study tested whether using virtual reality goggles during the insertion of a port needle (a common procedure for chemotherapy) can improve comfort and satisfaction in cancer patients. 92 adults with stage I-III cancer were randomly assigned to either standard care or standar…

This study looked at whether painting mandalas during chemotherapy can help reduce anxiety, nausea, and improve comfort. 73 first-time chemotherapy patients took part. One group colored mandalas for at least 30 minutes during treatment, while the other group received standard car…

This study tested whether a nurse-led program, including education and an animated video, could reduce anxiety in 60 adults scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Participants were split into two groups: one received the extra program, the other standard care. Resear…

This study tested whether doing art therapy during hemodialysis sessions can reduce common symptoms like fatigue and discomfort, and improve patients' sense of spiritual well-being. Sixty adults on dialysis took part; half received at least 30 minutes of art therapy per session w…

This study compares the immediate effects of manual massage and foam rolling on heart rate variability (HRV) after a 20-meter shuttle run test in elite male handball players. Fifteen players with at least five years of training and Super League experience took part. The goal is t…

This study looked at two different ways of doing plyometric (jumping) exercises in 28 male teenage tennis players. One method used short bursts with brief rests (cluster-set), the other used longer sets with longer rests (traditional-set). The goal was to see which approach led t…

This study tested whether foam rolling helps elite swimmers recover faster after intense sprint training. Fifteen national-level swimmers did hard sprints, then either used foam rolling or swam gently to recover. Researchers measured heart rate variability to see which method wor…

This study looked at 80 healthy, active men aged 20-30 to see how leg muscle strength relates to anaerobic power—the ability to perform short, intense efforts like sprinting. Participants had their leg strength measured with a special machine and did a 30-second cycling test. The…

This study looked at 150 moderately active young men to see if leg muscle mass is linked to balance. Researchers measured muscle mass with a body scan and tested balance by having participants stand still on a platform. The goal was to understand which muscle measurements best pr…

This study tested whether a special ankle taping technique called fibular repositioning taping can improve balance, jumping, and sprinting in healthy young women. 90 participants were split into three groups: active taping, sham taping, or no taping. Their performance was measure…

This study looked at two recovery methods—pneumatic compression (squeezing the legs) and transcranial direct current stimulation (a mild electrical current to the head)—to see if they help athletes aged 40-55 recover after a 10-kilometer run. Sixteen trained male runners complete…

This study looked at 81 healthy young men to see how leg muscle strength and endurance relate to how high they can jump. Participants did strength tests and vertical jumps in one lab visit. The goal was to learn which muscle measures best predict explosive jumping ability. This i…

This study tested whether teaching new mothers about breastfeeding using virtual reality and a digital museum helps them feel more confident and motivated. Forty first-time mothers who had already been in a similar study were followed for up to two years after giving birth. Resea…

This study tested a Turkish version of a questionnaire that measures computer and technology skills in older adults. Researchers worked with 153 Turkish-speaking participants who had a computer. The goal was to make sure the questionnaire works well in Turkish, so it can help tai…

This study looked at tissue samples from 15 women with deep endometriosis who had laparoscopic surgery. Researchers measured nerve and blood vessel density in the peritoneum near endometriosis nodules and checked pain scores before and after surgery. The goal was to see if these …

This study looked at whether a 25-minute or 45-minute nap helps teenage soccer players run faster and feel less tired. Sixteen male players tried both nap lengths and a no-nap day. Results showed that napping improved agility and made exercise feel easier, but did not help them k…

This study interviewed 13 parents of children aged 2-6 who had strabismus (crossed eyes) surgery. Researchers wanted to understand how parents gave their children eye drops after surgery and how well the children cooperated. The goal is to learn from these experiences to improve …

This study tested whether a special education program for caregivers of stroke patients with swallowing problems (dysphagia) could improve caregiver knowledge, reduce their burden, and improve the patient's nutrition and quality of life. 84 caregivers were split into two groups: …
