This study tested whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) based algorithm helps people with type 2 diabetes adjust their long-acting insulin doses better than the usual finger-stick method. Thirty adults already using basal insulin were followed for 18 weeks. The goal was to s…

This study tested whether a purified clotting medicine (fibrinogen concentrate) works as well as a standard blood product (cryoprecipitate) to control bleeding in infants after heart surgery. Thirty-one children under 2 years old were randomly assigned to receive one of the two t…

This study tested a new tool called InsuLearn that helps people with type 1 diabetes calculate their insulin doses without needing to count carbohydrates. Seven adults on multiple daily injections tried the tool for a day and compared it to their usual care. The goal was to see i…

This study tested a computer system that gives personalized advice to people with type 1 diabetes based on their continuous glucose monitor readings. The goal was to see if tailoring advice to each person's behavior and mindset could improve blood sugar control better than standa…

This study tested whether a smartphone app can accurately measure how well your eyes stay focused when you move your head—a key function of the inner ear's balance system. Researchers compared the app's results to a standard, expensive device in 35 adults with and without balance…

This study tested a new way to measure muscle stiffness by taking pictures of the skin on the back. A clinician gently pulled on the skin while three cameras recorded how it moved. The goal was to see if this imaging method could detect differences in tissue stiffness. Five adult…

This pilot study tested whether computer models could predict sepsis and a serious gut infection called NEC in very low birth weight infants (under 1500 grams). Researchers used data from 144 babies in the NICU to build and test these models. The goal was to see if the approach w…
