This study compared three methods for attaching a single crown to a dental implant: screw-retained, cemented, or using the Acuris system. It followed 39 adults for a year to see which method best maintained healthy bone and gum tissue around the implant while minimizing complicat…

This study tested whether new white ceramic dental implants work as well as traditional metal ones when placed immediately after tooth removal. Researchers compared how stable the implants became, how much bone was preserved, and how satisfied patients were. The goal was to see i…

This study compared two methods for healing dental implants in people missing all lower teeth. Twenty participants received six implants each; some were loaded with a temporary bar immediately, while others healed without loading. Researchers tracked implant survival, bone health…

This small pilot study tested a special iron supplement in 50 healthy blood donors who had been turned away due to low iron levels. Participants took the supplement daily for three months. Researchers wanted to see if it raised their hemoglobin (a measure of red blood cells), imp…

This completed study looked back at 16 patients who received transplants of their own mature teeth with a special root-tip removal technique. Researchers wanted to see if these transplanted teeth survived long-term and whether new blood vessels grew into them (revascularization).…

This study compared two ways to place a dental implant for a single missing tooth. It tested if a specially shaped implant could maintain healthy bone and gums without needing a separate bone grafting procedure. 40 patients were randomly assigned to receive either the new implant…

This study tested a new method to detect early lung damage from diseases like COPD or interstitial lung disease (ILD). Researchers analyzed the carbon dioxide in participants' breath in real-time to see if they could spot structural changes in the lungs before they show up on sta…

This study tested two different ankle brace treatments for children with cerebral palsy. Researchers wanted to see if a new brace design, which allows for some muscle activity while stretching, works better than a standard brace that mostly immobilizes the ankle. They measured ch…

This study tested whether a smartphone app teaching cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques could help people with functional tremor, a condition causing involuntary shaking. Twenty patients were randomly assigned to use either the CBT training app or a simpler reflection a…

This study created a registry to track children and young adults with severe immune blood disorders like immune thrombocytopenia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Researchers observed 80 participants over up to 4 years to better understand these conditions and document how patient…

This study aimed to understand if people who experienced high levels of chronic stress before getting COVID-19 were more likely to develop Long COVID, where symptoms last for weeks or months. Researchers followed 380 adults who tested positive for COVID-19, tracking their stress …

This study aimed to understand how often severely injured patients develop early problems with their blood's ability to clot properly. Researchers looked back at the medical records of 263 trauma patients to measure how common this issue is and to identify which patients are most…
