This study tested a new drug called palopegteriparatide in 90 adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism, a condition where the body doesn't make enough parathyroid hormone. The goal was to see if the drug could help patients stop taking daily calcium and vitamin D supplements. Resea…

This small pilot study tested whether a sustained-release ammonium chloride formula (with vitamin D) could lower virus levels in 32 adults with mild to moderate COVID-19 or influenza. Participants took the formula or a vitamin D-only control twice daily for 10 days. Researchers m…

This study looked at whether giving nutrition through a small vein in the arm (peripheral parenteral nutrition) helps patients recover better after colorectal surgery. The trial included 200 adults who had surgery for conditions like colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel diseas…

This study looked at whether eating more protein (1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight each day) can help older adults with type 2 diabetes maintain muscle mass and strength. 25 participants were followed to see changes in muscle, walking speed, and blood sugar. The goal is to f…

This study looked at how muscle damage from eccentric exercise (like lowering a weight) changes muscle strength, oxygen levels, and electrical signals. Eleven healthy young men did a leg exercise before and 48 hours after a muscle-damaging workout. The goal was to understand how …

This study looked at whether newer psoriasis medications (IL17 and IL23 inhibitors) can also help reduce early signs of heart disease. Researchers measured artery stiffness in 66 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis before and after one year of treatment. The goal was to se…

This study explored whether the phase of the menstrual cycle changes how muscles respond to intense exercise. Twelve healthy women did eccentric leg exercises during two different cycle phases. Researchers measured muscle strength, soreness, and oxygen use to see if hormones like…

This observational study followed 210 adults with migraine or tension headaches for 6 months. Participants kept a diary of their headaches and any sensitivity to smells (osmophobia). The goal was to see if smell sensitivity is a reliable sign of migraine versus tension headache. …

This study looked at how the body uses energy during two types of leg exercise: eccentric (lengthening muscle) and concentric (shortening muscle). Fourteen healthy young women did both exercises until they were exhausted. Researchers measured oxygen use, muscle oxygen, and blood …
