This study aimed to see if a hybrid approach—combining minimally invasive heart surgery with standard catheter ablation—works better than catheter ablation alone for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The trial planned to enroll many parti…

This study looked at whether chest ultrasound could replace chest X-ray for finding lung complications in infants with bronchiolitis, a common lung infection. Researchers planned to compare the two imaging methods in young children at an emergency hospital. However, the study was…

This study looked at whether a supervised exercise program is possible for people with advanced bronchial cancer or mesothelioma. The goal was to see if patients could complete at least 6 rehab sessions to help with weakness and poor quality of life caused by the disease and its …

This study observed 18 chronic stroke patients who received botulinum toxin injections into their elbow muscles as part of routine care. The goal was to see if the injections reduced muscle tightness (spasticity) and improved active arm extension. Researchers measured muscle acti…

This study aimed to find blood markers that could predict whether type 2 diabetes goes away after bariatric surgery in obese patients. Researchers measured 9 specific molecules in the blood of 23 people before surgery and checked if those levels matched diabetes remission afterwa…

This study tested a new technique to measure muscle mass in older adults using a special form of creatine (deuterated creatine). Participants took a single capsule, and researchers measured how much creatine was absorbed by muscles. The goal was to see if this method is more accu…

This study looked at two different breathing methods (alveolar recruitment maneuvers) in 18 patients who had both a brain injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The goal was to see which method better maintained oxygen levels in the brain tissue. The study was ter…

This small pilot study tested whether video calls and online tools could replace in-person follow-up visits for people who had weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery). The goal was to see if this approach could keep patients engaged and reduce costs, especially for those living f…

This study looked at whether people with type 2 diabetes who have a long-lasting cough (over 8 weeks) also have more small fiber nerve damage compared to diabetics without a cough. Researchers used nerve tests and a small skin sample to check for neuropathy. The goal was to under…

This study aimed to create a French database of adults with chronic cough (lasting over 8 weeks) to learn more about the condition and how many people have a cough that doesn't get better with treatment. Researchers planned to collect information from 178 patients across multiple…
