This study tested whether a new combination of drugs (venetoclax plus CACAG) works better than the standard treatment for people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 200 patients aged 14 to 75 took part. The goal was to see if more patients achieved remission …

This study looked at whether long-term treatment with trimetazidine, a drug that helps heart cells use energy more efficiently, could reduce scarring in the heart muscle after a heart attack. Researchers followed 194 people who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) and measur…

This study tested a new way to monitor kidney oxygen levels during liver surgery to try to prevent acute kidney injury (AKI). 80 adults having liver surgery were randomly assigned to either standard care or extra monitoring that triggered a step-by-step treatment plan if oxygen l…

This study tested whether giving a personalized dose of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) works better than a fixed dose to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and virus reactivation in 204 patients receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. The goal was to improve survival w…

This study tested a 3D imaging-assisted navigation system to help surgeons perform HoLEP surgery for enlarged prostate (BPH). The system combines MRI and ultrasound to show the real-time position of surgical tools inside the prostate. 150 men who had surgery were divided into two…

This study looked at whether giving a single dose of esketamine, a drug related to ketamine, could help reduce anxiety and depression in people having heart valve surgery. 142 adults took part, and researchers measured their mood before and after surgery using standard questionna…

This study looked at whether giving a medicine called dexmedetomidine during major abdominal surgery can lower the chance of older patients (over 65) becoming confused or delirious after the operation. Researchers tracked 268 patients for about 5 days after surgery, checking for …

This study looked at whether a blood test called the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) can help predict postoperative delirium (confusion) in older adults having surgery. Researchers also considered whether frailty (physical weakness) changes this link. Over 6,400 people aged 65…

This study looked at nearly 30,000 older adults (65+) having non-cardiac surgery to see if levels of homocysteine, a substance in the blood, are linked to complications like kidney injury or death. Researchers measured homocysteine before and after surgery. The goal was to find o…

This study looked at how age changes brain wave patterns during anesthesia with desflurane. Researchers monitored 47 adults having surgery, from young to elderly, and analyzed their brain activity. The goal was to understand how aging affects the brain's response to anesthesia, n…

This study looked at 674 people who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) to see if a simple blood test called the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index could predict how much heart muscle was damaged. Researchers used heart MRI scans to measure injury and found that a higher TyG …

This study looked at whether giving a steroid called methylprednisolone during anesthesia can lower the chance of delirium (sudden confusion) after abdominal surgery in patients 65 and older. Researchers analyzed records from over 25,000 people instead of running a new experiment…

This study looked at 575 older adults who had knee or hip replacement surgery to see if having chronic pain before the operation made them more likely to feel depressed afterward. Researchers found that people with ongoing pain before surgery had a higher chance of developing dep…

This study looked at older adults (65+) having surgery to see if postoperative delirium (sudden confusion after surgery) makes frailty worse and raises the risk of death within a year. Researchers followed over 6,000 patients, measuring frailty before and one month after surgery,…

This study looked at how often older adults (65+) in China feel anxious or depressed after non-cardiac surgery. Researchers tracked over 7,500 patients and used standard questionnaires to measure symptoms. The goal was to find out how common these issues are and what factors make…

This completed study looked at whether 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs), drugs used to treat an enlarged prostate, can also reduce the risk of heart disease caused by hardening of the arteries. Researchers analyzed health records from over 10,000 men in the UK and China. The…

This study followed over 4,400 older adults (65+) who had elective surgery to see how their frailty levels changed afterward. Researchers found that different patterns of frailty recovery were linked to different risks of dying within one year. The goal was to better understand f…

This study measured specific proteins in the blood of 500 stem cell transplant patients to see if they could predict acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a serious complication. Researchers tracked these proteins every two weeks for three months after transplant. The goal was…

This study looked at 8,751 older adults (65+) to see how their health and daily function before surgery affected their risk of heart problems or stroke within 30 days after. Researchers used medical records and follow-up calls to track complications. The goal was to find which pr…
