This study tested whether using a 3D model of a patient's kidney before surgery could shorten the time needed for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing a kidney tumor). 370 adults with small kidney tumors took part. The goal was to see if better planning with 3D imaging …

This study looks at how the drug Sacubitril-Valsartan changes heart function in people with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. Researchers used a non-invasive method to measure heart pressure and volume in 117 participants. The goal is to uncover the mechanisms behind the…

This study looked at whether doctors, nurses, or standard risk scores are better at predicting long-term recovery after a brain hemorrhage. Over 1,000 patients were followed for 6 months. The goal is to improve how we estimate outcomes for these serious conditions.
