Researchers compare two approaches for proliferative diabetic retinopathy, a condition where abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina and can cause vision loss. One group receives standard pan-retinal laser photocoagulation alone. The other receives the same laser treatment plus…

Researchers are studying whether sacubitril-valsartan, a standard heart failure drug, can lower estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure in people with reduced ejection fraction heart failure. The trial enrolls adults with an ejection fraction of 40% or less. Participants rec…

This trial tests a surgical technique to restore elbow bending in people who have lost this ability due to a brachial plexus injury that occurred more than a year earlier. Surgeons take a muscle from the thigh and move it to the arm, connecting its nerve to either the spinal acce…

This study investigates whether dapagliflozin, a drug typically used for diabetes, can improve the structure and function of the heart's left atrium in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes). Researchers will measure changes…

This study compared angioplasty for one blocked leg artery versus multiple blocked arteries in 40 people with critical limb ischemia, a severe condition that can lead to amputation. The goal was to see which approach better saves limbs and heals wounds. Researchers tracked whethe…

This study tested a new hand position called the 'hook technique' to see if it helps doctors give oxygen more effectively to obese patients (BMI 30-40) using one hand. 375 adults took part, and the researchers measured chest rise, oxygen levels, and other signs of good breathing.…

This study tested whether using a needle to drain a swollen gallbladder during laparoscopic removal makes the operation easier and safer. 70 patients with acute cholecystitis, gallbladder mucocele, or empyema were randomly assigned to have their gallbladder drained or not. The go…

This study tested whether a special heart ultrasound (speckle tracking echocardiography) can predict which patients need an implantable defibrillator (ICD) after a large heart attack. Researchers followed 200 patients for 90 days to see whose heart function stayed low enough to q…

This study looked at whether measuring the outside of the hand or using hand X-rays is better at telling if a person is male or female. Researchers measured the hands of 120 Egyptian volunteers aged 18 to 50. The goal was to find which method is more accurate for identifying sex,…

This study looked at 108 adults with neck masses who needed a breathing tube for surgery. Researchers compared placing the tube while the person lay on their back versus on their side, using different types of laryngoscopes. The main goal was to see which position and tool allowe…
