This early-phase study tests whether using electric pulses to deliver chemotherapy (bleomycin) directly to the surgical site can lower the chance of pancreatic cancer returning after surgery. About 10 to 20 adults with removable pancreatic tumors will receive this treatment. The …

This study tests a catheter-based procedure to treat people with persistent or long-standing atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The procedure uses energy to isolate parts of the heart and create controlled scars to restore normal rhythm. Researchers will track 5…

This study looks at 82 heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation who need a heart ablation and a pacemaker. It compares a newer pacing method (conduction system pacing) to the standard method (biventricular pacing) to see if the newer one works just as well or better at imp…

This study compares two techniques—radiofrequency and pulsed field ablation—to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. About 50 adults with the condition will receive one of the two procedures. The goal is to see which method better creates lasting isolatio…

This study tests whether taking the flu medicine oseltamivir (Tamiflu) for 5 days works just as well as taking it for 10 days to prevent the flu in hospital patients who have been exposed. About 200 adults with risk factors for flu complications will take part. If 5 days is enoug…

This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce migraine pain and lower signs of brain stress and inflammation in the blood. Researchers will compare three types of gentle stimulation—laser, electro, and traditional acupuncture—in 75 adults with migraines. The goal is to find a s…

This observational study enrolls 50 adults who had coarctation of the aorta repaired but do not have high blood pressure at rest. Researchers want to see if exercise-induced high blood pressure causes damage to the heart, arteries, or kidneys. Participants undergo exercise testin…

This study looks at how certain immune proteins, called the complement system, may contribute to kidney damage in people with diabetes. Researchers will measure these proteins in blood and urine from 90 participants to see if they are linked to kidney disease stage and blood vess…

This study looks at 30 infants with congenital heart disease who need heart surgery. Researchers will take blood samples and use EEG and MRI to find signs of brain injury early. The goal is to better understand and detect brain damage so doctors can help these babies sooner.

This study aims to find out how many pregnant women in Slovenia use alcohol or cannabis. Researchers will test newborn stool samples (meconium) for signs of these substances and also ask mothers about their habits. They will also look at the gut bacteria in babies exposed to thes…

This study reviews medical records of 85 adults with chronic heart failure to see if SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of diabetes drug) improve red blood cell production and heart/kidney function over 12 months. Researchers compare those who started the drug to a similar group who did no…
