This study looks at whether the anesthetic ciprofol causes fewer dangerous drops in blood pressure during surgery than the standard drug propofol in older adults. Researchers will review records from 85,000 patients aged 65 and older who had non-cardiac surgery under general anes…

This trial tests whether changing how oxygen is delivered during painless gastroscopy can reduce the risk of hypoxemia (low blood oxygen). Patients at high risk for hypoxia—such as those with heart or lung disease, older age, obesity, or sleep apnea—will receive oxygen through th…

This study tested two different drug combinations to treat Helicobacter pylori, a stomach infection that can cause ulcers. About 400 adults took either a two-drug regimen (tegoprazan and amoxicillin) or a four-drug regimen (including bismuth and furazolidone). The goal was to see…

This study tested whether a two-drug combination (vonoprazan plus either amoxicillin or doxycycline) works as well as the standard four-drug bismuth quadruple therapy for eradicating H. pylori infection. 579 adults with H. pylori took one of three 14-day treatments. Researchers m…

This study tested whether adding a traditional Chinese herbal formula (Banxiaxiexin decoction) to standard antibiotics can better treat H. pylori infection and related indigestion. 104 adults with both conditions took either the herbal combo or standard therapy for 14 days. The m…

This study tested a procedure called pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition where blood pressure in the lungs is dangerously high. 128 adults received either the real procedure or a sham (fake) procedure. The goal wa…

This trial tests whether the position a patient holds for 30 minutes after receiving a nerve block affects pain control after video-assisted chest surgery. Researchers will compare patients who lie on their back, side, or stomach after the block, and also compare the block to a s…

This trial compares two sedation approaches for awake fiberoptic intubation, a procedure where a breathing tube is placed while the patient is conscious. One group receives remifentanil alone, while the other gets a combination of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil. The study measu…

This study tested a new way to numb the throat for awake breathing tube placement. 60 patients with difficult airways received either an ultrasound-guided numbing injection on the thyroid cartilage or standard numbing spray. The injection group had less coughing and better comfor…

This study looked at 516 patients who had surgery for a torn aorta (aortic dissection). Researchers checked if a high ankle-brachial index (a simple test of blood flow in the legs) before surgery was linked to kidney problems afterward. The goal was to see if this test could help…

This study looked at health records from over 5,000 adults to see if having an H. pylori stomach infection is linked to metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and excess belly fat. Researchers compared people with and without the in…

This study looked at 7,227 patients in Nanjing to understand how resistant the H. pylori bacteria is to common antibiotics. The goal was to find out which antibiotics still work best and to help doctors choose the right treatment for each patient. No new treatments were tested; i…

This study looked at 148 patients having a painless colonoscopy. Researchers used ultrasound to check when the stomach was empty after drinking a bowel-cleansing solution. They compared doing the colonoscopy within 2 hours versus waiting 2-4 hours after the stomach emptied. The g…
