This study tested whether injecting a concentrated form of a patient's own blood, called platelet-rich plasma (PRP), into the eye could slow the progression of advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Fourteen people with advanced dry AMD received three PRP injections…

This study tested two scoring systems, PePCI and ManTIS, to help doctors decide whether injured children need a whole-body CT scan. Researchers looked at 684 children in the emergency department to see if these scores could accurately predict the need for imaging while reducing u…

This study compares two sizes of IV cannulas (18-gauge vs 20-gauge) in emergency patients to see if the larger one causes more pain or is harder to insert. About 204 adults with low-to-moderate difficulty for IV access will be randomly assigned to one size. Patients will wear gog…

This study tests whether releasing a blood pressure cuff (used as a tourniquet) early during blood collection reduces the rate of hemolysis — when red blood cells burst and ruin the sample. About 792 emergency department patients with non-critical conditions will be randomly assi…

This study tests whether two AI models, GPT-4o and Claude 4.6 Sonnet, can correctly diagnose patients based on emergency department notes written in Turkish. Researchers will compare the AI's diagnoses to those made by the treating doctor and a panel of three specialists. The goa…

This study looked at 326 home care patients and their caregivers to find out how common home safety risks are and whether caregivers notice them. Researchers visited homes and checked for dangers like slippery floors, poor lighting, and unsafe medical equipment. They found that w…

This study tested three different ultrasound techniques to see how well they confirm that a breathing tube is in the right place (windpipe vs. food pipe) in 200 emergency patients. Doctors compared these methods to standard checks like carbon dioxide monitoring and listening to t…

This study tested a tool called the TriAGE+ score to see how well it predicts stroke risk in 818 emergency room patients with dizziness. Dizziness can be a sign of a stroke, but it is often missed. The goal was to check if the score is safe and reliable for use in busy ERs to hel…

This study compared two tools—a bougie and a stylet—for placing a breathing tube in a manikin. 136 sixth-year medical students with no real intubation experience each tried four techniques. The main goal was to see which tool led to successful tube placement on the first try.

This study looked at how a surgery called balanced orbital decompression affects blood flow in the eyes of people with inactive thyroid-associated orbitopathy (thyroid eye disease). Researchers measured blood vessel changes in the eye before and after surgery using special imagin…
