This study used a special ultrasound technique to measure stiffness in the calf muscles and Achilles tendon of children who walk on their toes (idiopathic toe walking) compared to children with a typical walk. 46 children aged 4 to 12 took part. The goal was to better understand …

This study looked at 222 adults having a sedated stomach exam (gastroscopy) to see if a special oxygen method called THRIVE works better than a standard nasal tube for preventing low oxygen levels. The goal was to find out which approach keeps oxygen levels safer during the proce…

This study looked at 60 ICU patients on breathing machines to see if ultrasound measurements of the diaphragm could predict successful removal of the breathing tube. Researchers measured diaphragm thickness and movement before a breathing trial. The goal was to find a safe, non-i…

This study looked at how anesthesiologists and artificial intelligence (AI) models classify the physical status of 200 adult patients before elective surgery. Researchers wanted to see if adding a frailty score (a measure of weakness) changed the risk ratings given by humans and …
