This study looked at 120 people with suspected fungal skin infections to see how well two different PCR tests work compared to standard lab methods. The goal was to find a faster and more accurate way to diagnose these infections, which affect up to 25% of people worldwide. Resea…

This study looked at a blood test called the Wako Beta-D-glucan test to see how well it can detect serious fungal infections in people with weak immune systems. Researchers tested 280 patients and checked how often two positive results within 15 days meant a real infection. The g…

This study looked at 117 adults who had pancreatic surgery after having a bile duct stent. It compared two different antibiotics given before surgery to prevent wound infections. The goal was to see if using a stronger antibiotic based on local germ patterns works better than the…

This study looked at 112 people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) to see if heart MRI scans could better predict who needs a transplant or may die. Researchers compared MRI results with standard heart catheterization tests. The goal was to improve how…

This study looked at 250 people with or suspected of having Crohn's disease. It compared a quick MRI without any injected contrast dye to the standard longer MRI that requires a contrast injection. The goal was to see if the simpler scan could reliably tell a normal from an abnor…

This study looked at whether a simple CT scan before weight-loss surgery can help predict when the surgeon might need to change their plan during the operation. Researchers reviewed data from 288 patients who had surgery for obesity. They found that certain measurements from the …

This study looked at 200 healthy people to see if the growth stage of a wisdom tooth can predict how mature the palate bone is. Currently, orthodontists often use a special CT scan to check palate maturity before certain treatments. The researchers wanted to see if a regular pano…

This study involved 1807 healthy adults to improve the quality of MRI scans. Researchers tested different settings to make images clearer and reduce blurring. No treatment or medication was given. The goal was to make MRI technology better for future patients.

This study looked at 80 adults who had blood tests for strongyloidiasis, a parasitic infection that can hide in the body without symptoms. Researchers compared three different test kits to see which one is most accurate. The goal is to improve screening, especially for organ dono…

This study looked at whether ultrasound and elastography (a special type of ultrasound) can help predict a serious liver condition called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) before patients receive a stem cell transplant. Researchers followed 114 adult patients at a French hosp…

This study looked at how doctors prescribe heart failure medications to patients while they are in the hospital for worsening symptoms. Researchers tracked 184 adults to see which drugs were started and how well they worked. The goal is to find better ways to use hospital stays t…

This study looks at whether blood vessel problems contribute to memory decline in older adults with high blood pressure who have memory complaints. Researchers will measure artery stiffness and brain scans in 131 participants over time. The goal is to understand the link between …

This study looked at 89 people with antisynthetase syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that can cause muscle inflammation and serious lung damage. Researchers wanted to see if the number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood could help predict how severe the di…

This study looked at 611 patients who came to the dental emergency department at the University Hospital of Nancy through a special access clinic. Researchers wanted to understand what types of dental emergencies these patients had, when they came in, and how much the care cost. …

This study looked at whether a new type of camera (CZT) can accurately measure the radiation from a prostate cancer drug called lutetium. Researchers used past images from 20 patients to compare different energy levels. The goal was to see if the camera gives reliable measurement…
