This study compared two ways of taking prostate tissue samples: the standard transrectal method (through the rectum) and a newer transperineal method (through the skin between the scrotum and anus). Over 1,000 men participated to see if the transperineal approach causes fewer inf…

This study tested whether a pathogen-reduced cryoprecipitate (a blood product that helps blood clot) works as well as the standard version in controlling bleeding during heart and liver transplant surgeries. 208 adult patients were given one of the two FDA-approved products. The …

This study looked at whether adding a nurse trained in diabetes care to the treatment team helps breast cancer patients with diabetes or prediabetes manage their blood sugar during cancer therapy. Researchers split 74 patients into two groups: one worked with the diabetes nurse, …
