This study looked at 1,330 women with irregular periods to find the best way to diagnose excess hair growth (hirsutism) and hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) linked to PCOS. Researchers used two simple scoring systems—the modified Ferriman-Gallwey scale and the Ludwig scale—to de…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (ESP and QL block) to see which one better controls pain after abdominal surgery. 100 adults having surgery for cancers or gallbladder issues received one of the blocks before their operation. Researchers measured how much strong pain…

This study looked at 222 adults who needed a venous access port (a small device under the skin to give medicine or draw blood). Researchers compared two ways of making the cut: across the skin (transverse) or along the skin (longitudinal). They measured pain in the first 24 hours…

This study looked at whether intensive treadmill training with body weight support can help people who recently had a stroke recover better. Forty participants completed a 3-week program. Researchers measured changes in walking, balance, and certain hormones in the blood to under…

This study used ultrasound to measure the size of the uterus and its lining in women with two conditions that cause irregular periods: PCOS and HPOD. The goal was to see if these measurements differ between the two groups. A total of 648 women aged 18-45 took part, and no treatme…

This study looked at how ovulation disorders (like PCOS) affect quality of life in 990 women aged 18-45 with irregular periods. Researchers compared two groups: those with PCOS and those with other causes of ovulation problems. Participants filled out surveys about physical healt…

This study looked at two common ways to give anesthesia during weight-loss surgery without using opioids. The goal was to see which method causes fewer side effects like nausea and vomiting after surgery. 280 adults having laparoscopic bariatric surgery took part, and researchers…

This study looked at whether a green dye injected during laparoscopic colon or rectal cancer surgery helps surgeons see blood flow in real time and reduce the risk of leaks where the bowel is reconnected. Researchers compared 115 patients who received the dye with a similar group…

This study looked at 300 critically ill ICU patients who were receiving medications to support their blood pressure. The goal was to see if blood pressure readings taken at the upper arm (brachial) differ from those at the wrist (radial), and whether larger differences are linked…

This study looked at a protein called pentraxin in the gum fluid of people with fixed dentures. The goal was to see if pentraxin levels can help detect early gum disease that isn't visible during a regular checkup. Researchers studied 90 adults who needed fixed dentures and had n…
