This study looked at whether a home visit from an environmental advisor could help children with asthma or allergic rhinitis. Researchers compared children's quality of life and disease control before and six months after the home visit. The goal was to see if identifying and red…

This study tested if a drug called milrinone could help patients recover better from a dangerous complication of a severe brain bleed. The complication, called vasospasm, causes brain arteries to squeeze shut, cutting off blood flow and often leading to death or severe disability…

This study investigated whether adjusting blood pressure targets could help protect kidney function in patients with septic shock, a life-threatening condition. Researchers tested if raising a patient's average blood pressure from a standard target to a higher one would improve a…

This study aimed to find better, non-invasive ways to check for liver damage in people with fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers enrolled 1,005 patients across France to compare new blood tests and special scans against the standard liver biopsy. The goal was to develop tools…

This small pilot study tested if a standard medical device used to find veins for injections could also help diagnose dysautonomia. Dysautonomia is a disorder where the body's automatic nervous system doesn't work properly, affecting things like blood pressure and heart rate. Res…

This study tested a new diagnostic tool called the 4PEPS score to help emergency doctors decide when a patient with suspected pulmonary embolism (a dangerous lung blood clot) really needs a CT scan. Over 3,000 patients across 20 emergency departments were involved. The goal was t…

This study tested whether patients with very low blood cell counts from chemotherapy could safely brush their teeth for comfort. Currently, these patients are only allowed to use mouthwash due to bleeding and infection risks. Researchers compared tooth brushing against standard m…

This study tested if a simple, safe activity—chewing gum—could help patients recover normal bowel function faster after abdominal surgery. It involved 128 patients who had bowel surgery and developed a common complication where the gut temporarily stops working. Researchers compa…

This study aimed to understand if children with ADHD are more likely to create false memories. Researchers tested 28 children aged 8-10 with ADHD using a word-list memory task designed to see if they would 'remember' a related word that was never shown. The goal was to gather kno…

This study aimed to understand how common and why women develop anal incontinence (loss of stool or gas control) after a severe tear of the anal muscles during childbirth. Researchers followed 227 women who had this type of injury between 2005 and 2019 to track when problems star…

This study aimed to understand Long COVID by looking for unique patterns in the blood. Researchers compared 62 people who had Long COVID symptoms to others who had fully recovered from COVID-19. They analyzed blood samples to find differences in immune system activity and energy …

This study aims to understand how living in extreme isolation affects human immunity. Researchers will collect biological samples from 9 healthy volunteers before they spend a year at a remote Antarctic research station. The samples will be stored for future research comparing ho…

This study tested a new, non-invasive ultrasound method to see and measure blood flow inside bones. Researchers worked with 30 healthy male volunteers to see if this tool could reliably detect changes in bone blood flow during simple physical tests. The goal is to develop a bette…

This study aimed to understand how pain patterns after chest surgery affect a patient's recovery. Researchers observed 204 adults who had chest surgery to see if the type and pattern of pain they experienced could predict how well they recovered. The goal was to identify factors …
