This study tested whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplantation) could help critically ill ICU patients who have trouble tolerating tube feeding due to gut problems. Nineteen patients received the treatment, and researchers measured improvements in …

This study tested a deep-learning system called DeepPriorCBCT to see if it can produce high-quality lung images using much less radiation than standard methods. 138 adults getting a lung biopsy had both a low-dose and a conventional CT scan. The goal was to check if the AI-enhanc…

This study looked at 144 people who had facial skin surgery for benign growths like moles or cysts. Half had their bandage removed 6 hours after surgery, while the other half kept it covered for about 7 days. The goal was to see which method led to less swelling, redness, and sca…

This study tested a sedative called remimazolam besylate in 36 ICU patients who needed a breathing machine. The goal was to see if it could keep patients lightly sedated without needing extra calming drugs. The trial was a small, early-phase study to check safety and effectivenes…

This study tested whether a newer type of PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) can better predict how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery, compared to standard PET and MRI scans. Twenty-seven women with breast cancer had all three scans before and after chemotherapy. The r…

This study looked at 68 people with mucosal melanoma, a rare type of cancer. Researchers used FDG PET/CT scans to see if imaging details could predict how long patients live or when their disease might get worse. The goal is to help doctors make better treatment choices based on …

This observational study looked at 200 heart transplant patients to see if the time of day the donor heart was removed affects long-term outcomes. Researchers compared hearts taken during the body's rest phase (midnight to noon) versus active phase (noon to midnight). Participant…

This study examined 16 ICU patients with sepsis to see if specific memory immune cells (called Tcm and Tem) are linked to how severe the infection is and the risk of death. Researchers measured these cells in blood samples taken over 72 hours. The goal was to better understand th…

This study tested a new AI system that helps doctors read chest X-rays. 296 patients took part. The AI was designed to make reports faster and more accurate, especially in places with few radiologists. Researchers compared reports written by junior doctors with and without AI hel…

This study looked at 173 Chinese patients to see if their skin type affects how their face heals after surgery for benign growths like moles or cysts. Researchers measured wound healing and scar quality 7 and 90 days after surgery. The goal is to help doctors predict and improve …

This study explored whether measuring a gene called Acod1 in the blood can help predict which sepsis patients are at higher risk of dying. Researchers tested blood samples from 52 adults in the ICU within 24-48 hours of admission. The goal was to see if this gene test could be a …

This study looked at 94 adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who needed a breathing tube and were placed on their stomachs (prone position) to help them breathe. Researchers used a special, non-invasive imaging tool called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) t…
