This study compared two ways to perform deep brain stimulation surgery for advanced Parkinson's disease. Researchers tested whether surgery performed while patients are asleep under general anesthesia (without brain recordings during surgery) works as well as the traditional meth…

This study looked back at the real-world results of a two-drug combination (brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine) for patients whose Hodgkin lymphoma returned or did not respond to initial treatment. It included 222 adult patients in France to see how well the treatment worked an…

This study tested if adding a weekly oral medication (methotrexate) to a standard light therapy treatment works better for controlling active vitiligo than light therapy alone. It involved 32 adults whose vitiligo was actively spreading. Researchers measured changes in skin color…

This study tested a new rapid blood test for sepsis, a life-threatening infection. It involved 110 adult patients in intensive care units. The goal was to see if this new test could accurately identify the specific bacteria causing the infection in just a few hours, compared to t…

This study looked at people taking PrEP, a daily pill to prevent HIV, to see if using it for a long time changes their sexual behaviors or their chances of getting other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Researchers compared 248 people in France who had been on PrEP for ove…

This study aimed to see if a simple heart ultrasound measurement, taken when an infant is first admitted to intensive care for severe bronchiolitis, could predict how long their hospital stay would be. Researchers followed 46 children under 2 years old who were in intensive care …

This study tested a new hospital program designed to make sure the medical care patients receive is the right care for their specific needs. It involved 63 patient stays and staff from several departments at a university hospital in Bordeaux. Researchers measured if the program i…

This study aimed to understand why some people with cancer also develop a condition called immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which causes dangerously low platelet counts and bleeding risk. Researchers looked back at the medical records of 33 adult patients who had both ITP and cance…

This study aimed to understand why many people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience severe muscle wasting, a condition linked to much higher mortality. Researchers compared muscle tissue samples from 22 COPD patients, some with muscle loss and some without…

This study tested a new computer system called PRoSIT, designed to automatically scan hospital discharge prescriptions for dangerous drug combinations. It aimed to see if the system could accurately identify these risky interactions and then be used to alert doctors and pharmacis…

This study aimed to create and test four quality measures for the care pathways of people with stroke and chronic coronary syndrome (a type of heart disease). Researchers used data from over 36,000 patients in French health records to develop these measures, which track things li…
