This study tested whether using social networks (like family and friends) can help people at high risk for stroke stick to their medications and control risk factors after leaving the hospital. Researchers enrolled 720 patients and compared standard care with a social network-bas…

This study tested whether adding immunotherapy to standard chemoradiation before surgery helps people with a specific type of ultra-low rectal cancer (MSS type). The goal was to increase the chance of a complete response, meaning the tumor disappears, and to preserve the anus and…

This study looked at 119 people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see which radiation dose (lower or higher) works better when combined with chemotherapy. The goal was to find a dose that helps people live longer without causing too many side effects. Participants had no…

This study tested a new way to deliver radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Instead of targeting the whole tumor, doctors focused on areas where the cancer is most likely to come back. The goal was to see if this approach helps patients live longer without the diseas…

This study tested a training program for confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), a technique that lets doctors see cells in real time during a stomach exam. 147 adults aged 18-85 took part. The goal was to see if the training helps doctors accurately tell cancerous from non-cancerou…

This study tested whether a low-residue nutrition powder, taken instead of a low-fiber diet, could allow people to use less bowel-cleansing liquid (2 liters instead of 3) before a colonoscopy. Over 750 adults participated. The goal was to see if the new approach cleaned the bowel…

This study compared two devices—a basket and a balloon—used during a procedure called ERCP to remove stones from the pancreatic duct in people with chronic pancreatitis. 104 adults with small stones (≤5 mm) in the main pancreatic duct took part. The goal was to see which tool cle…

This study tested a pain-relief method called TENS-WAA, which uses mild electrical pulses on the skin based on acupuncture points, to see if it can ease pain after lung cancer surgery. 156 adults who had keyhole lung surgery received either the real treatment or a fake device. Th…

This study looked at 220 adults with chronic pancreatitis and large pancreatic stones to find the best time to perform an endoscopic procedure after shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The goal was to improve stone clearance and reduce complications. Results help doctors plan treatmen…

This study tested whether a non-invasive device that uses mild electrical pulses (TENS-WAA) could lower the dose of a strong painkiller (remifentanil) needed to keep heart rate and blood pressure stable during anesthesia. Sixty adults undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled. …

This study tested a computer model (XGBoost) to predict whether suspicious spots on CT scans in people with chronic pancreatitis are cancerous. Researchers analyzed data from 113 patients to see how accurate the model was. The goal is to help doctors make better decisions without…

This study looked at 172 people with atrial fibrillation who had a heart procedure guided by a special ultrasound. Researchers found a common harmless imaging artifact, called the 'Floating Lotus' sign, that can look like a dangerous blood clot. By learning to tell the difference…

This study analyzed health data from over 723,000 older adults (70+) across 204 countries to understand the burden of pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis from 1990 to 2021. Researchers looked at how many people got these diseases, died from them, and lost healthy years of life. Th…
