This study tests whether adding occasional deep sighs to standard breathing machine settings can reduce serious lung complications in the week after heart surgery. About 686 adults having planned heart surgery will be randomly assigned to either the sigh method or usual care. The…

This study compares a newer, more detailed CT scan (spectral CT) with a standard CT scan to see which one better finds any leftover cancer after a liver tumor treatment called TACE. About 250 adults with liver cancer will get both scans after their TACE procedure. The goal is to …

This study tests whether a newer sedative called ciprofol works as well as the standard drug propofol for keeping ICU patients calm while on a breathing machine, but with fewer side effects like dangerously low blood pressure. About 366 adults who need sedation for 6-24 hours wil…

This study looks at how adjusting breathing machine settings and body position can improve lung function in people with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Researchers will use a special imaging technique to see which parts of the lung are getting air a…

This study looks at whether tiny DNA pieces in the blood, called cell-free DNA, can show how active eczema is. Researchers will compare these levels in people with eczema and healthy volunteers, and check how skin immune cells react. The goal is to find a simple blood test to mon…

This study looks at how tilting the body (trunk inclination) changes lung mechanics in 40 adults with moderate to severe ARDS who are on breathing machines. Researchers measure lung pressures and use imaging to see how different positions and ventilator settings affect lung overs…
