This study tested whether millet seed extract capsules could help women with a type of temporary hair loss called telogen effluvium. Sixty women took either the millet extract or a standard biotin supplement for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in hair growth using special …

This study screened nearly 1,000 Egyptian women aged 25-60 for early signs of cervical cancer during their regular gynecology visits. Researchers used a modern liquid-based Pap smear to detect abnormal cells that could lead to cancer. The goal was to catch these changes early and…

This study tested whether removing a tiny heart structure called the ligament of Marshall during coronary bypass surgery could prevent a common complication: atrial fibrillation (a fast, irregular heartbeat). 220 high-risk adults were randomly assigned to get standard bypass surg…

This study looked at whether lifestyle changes like diet and exercise can help people with prediabetes avoid developing type 2 diabetes. 124 adults at high risk for diabetes were given a risk questionnaire and blood tests to track their progress. The goal was to see if a structur…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in 40 obese patients. The goal was to see which block provides longer pain relief and reduces the need for opioids, which can be risky in this group. Both technique…

This study tested whether a lidocaine spray and mouth rinse before surgery could reduce the body's stress response to having a breathing tube inserted, compared to a standard fentanyl injection. Fifty adults having elective surgery under general anesthesia took part. The goal was…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after major upper abdominal surgeries like Whipple or total gastrectomy. Forty adults were randomly assigned to receive either a rectus sheath block or an external oblique intercostal plane block. The …

This study compared opioid-free anesthesia (using dexmedetomidine and lidocaine) with standard opioid anesthesia in 86 adults undergoing brain tumor removal. The goal was to see if the opioid-free approach could better control blood pressure during stressful moments of surgery. R…

This study tested two different drug mixtures (Ketodex and Ketofol) to see which one causes fewer blood pressure drops when putting elderly patients to sleep for surgery. 102 adults over 65 took part. The goal was to find a safer way to start anesthesia in older people.

This study looked at two different methods to control pain after lower back surgery. One method uses a nerve block (erector spinae plane block), and the other uses a drug called ketamine along with other pain medicines. The goal was to see which approach helps patients recover be…

This study tested two ways to make the face look younger without surgery: a special microneedling treatment that uses radiofrequency energy, and a set of facial muscle exercises. Forty women with mild to moderate facial aging took part. The goal was to see which method worked bet…

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in chest nerve blocks can provide better pain relief after heart surgery. Sixty adults having open-heart surgery through a breastbone incision took part. The main goal was to see how lon…

This study tested whether warming the anesthetic liquid before injecting it into the spine could prevent shivering in patients having urologic surgery. 96 adults aged 18 to 60 took part, and researchers tracked shivering severity after the procedure. The goal was to find a simple…

This study tested whether giving a nerve block at one or two levels in the back works better for pain after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. Sixty obese adults were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal was to see which approach reduces pain scores and improves re…

This study tested whether adding hyaluronidase to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) improves pain control after kidney stone surgery. 100 adults undergoing the procedure received either the combination or the numbing medicine alone. The goal was to see if the enzyme helps…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) could reduce the chance of lung collapse after weight-loss surgery. 138 patients with a BMI of 35 or higher took part. The researchers compared the nerve block to standard pain medicine and checked for …

This study tested whether a lower dose of the medicine norepinephrine works as well as a higher dose to prevent dangerously low blood pressure in elderly patients (over 65) during hip surgery with spinal anesthesia. The trial involved 84 participants and compared two infusion rat…

This study looked at two methods of draining blood and fluid from the chest after heart surgery. Researchers reviewed records of 250 adults from three hospitals to see if a special active drainage system leads to fewer complications than standard drainage. The goal is to find out…

This study looked at 16 people with mycosis fungoides, a rare skin lymphoma, and measured levels of a protein called IL-35 in their blood and skin before and after phototherapy (light treatment). IL-35 was found to be higher in patients than in healthy people, but after photother…
