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 to see if it improved their ability to dig…

This study tests a special SPECT imaging agent that seeks out a protein called LRRC15, found on many aggressive cancers like pancreatic, breast, lung, and brain tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors diagnose and stage these cancers more accurately. Healthy volu…

This study tested whether a newer type of PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) can better predict if breast cancer has been fully eliminated by chemotherapy compared to standard PET scans (18F-FDG) and MRI. Twenty-seven women with breast cancer had all three scans before and after chemotherapy, …

This study tested an AI system called DeepPriorCBCT that reconstructs lung CT images from very low radiation scans (one-sixth the usual dose). 138 participants each received both a low-dose and a conventional-dose scan. The goal was to see if the AI could produce images good enou…

This study tested a drug called remimazolam besylate for sedating patients in the intensive care unit who are on breathing machines. The trial involved 36 adults and compared three different doses to see how well the drug kept patients lightly sedated without needing extra medica…

This study explored whether measuring the activity of a gene called Acod1 in blood cells can help predict which sepsis patients are at higher risk of dying. Researchers enrolled 52 adults in the ICU and measured Acod1 levels within 48 hours of admission. The goal was to see if th…

This study looked at 68 people with a rare type of skin cancer called mucosal melanoma. Researchers used a special PET scan to see if certain imaging details could predict how long patients live or when their cancer might come back. The goal is to help doctors make better treatme…

This study tested whether removing a wound dressing just 6 hours after facial skin surgery is better than keeping it covered for 7 days. 144 adults with benign skin lesions like moles or cysts were randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers checked for swelling, red…

This study looked at 173 Chinese patients to see if their skin type (based on the Baumann Skin Type system) affects how well they heal and scar after facial surgery for benign growths like moles or cysts. Researchers checked wound healing at 7 days and scar quality at 90 days usi…

This study looked at 200 heart transplant patients to see if the time of day the donor heart was removed affects how well the patient does. Researchers compared hearts taken during the body's rest phase (midnight to noon) versus the active phase (noon to midnight). They tracked s…

This completed observational study at a single hospital in China enrolled 16 adults with sepsis in the ICU. Researchers measured specific memory CD8+ T cells in the blood at several time points to see if their numbers or activity relate to how severe the sepsis is or whether pati…

This study tested a new AI system (Janus Pro 1B-CXR) designed to help radiologists interpret chest X-rays. The AI was developed using public data and evaluated in 296 patients with suspected chest diseases. Researchers compared report quality, reading time, and agreement between …

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). Researchers used a non-invasive imaging tool called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to measure how air and blood fl…
