This study looked at whether adding dexmedetomidine to standard pain relief after cancer surgery helps elderly patients (65-89 years) live longer. Researchers think it might reduce stress and inflammation, improving immune function. 1500 participants were followed for survival an…

This study tested a nurse-led smartphone app to help heart failure patients manage their health after leaving the hospital. 104 patients were split into two groups: one used the app for medication reminders, symptom tracking, and team support, while the other received standard ca…

This study tested a new antibody drug (C5 monoclonal antibody) in 16 people with anti-GBM disease, a severe autoimmune condition that often leads to kidney failure. The goal was to see if the drug could improve kidney outcomes and reduce the need for dialysis or transplant. The t…

This study tested a new treatment called urinary microbiota transplantation (UMT) for people with a rare bladder condition (cystitis glandularis) linked to pelvic lipomatosis. 110 adults who had not improved with standard care received weekly UMT infusions for one month. The trea…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system could help find prostate cancer on MRI scans as well as expert radiologists. 365 men who needed a prostate biopsy took part. Researchers compared how often AI and radiologists spotted suspicious areas that turned ou…

This study compared two pain medicines, nalbuphine and morphine, for women recovering from laparoscopic myomectomy (surgery to remove uterine fibroids). 80 women took part. The goal was to see which drug provides better pain relief and has fewer side effects. Results help doctors…

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine, a mild sedative, to standard pain relief could lower the risk of delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults after cancer surgery. Delirium is common in elderly patients and can lead to worse recovery. The trial involved 1,500 pat…

This study tested a new mix of pain medicines (dexmedetomidine, esketamine, and ropivacaine) against the standard mix (sufentanil and ropivacaine) for epidural pain relief during childbirth. 300 pregnant women took part to see if the new combination works as well and is safer for…

This study tested whether giving a combination of two sedative drugs (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) at night can improve sleep quality for adults in the intensive care unit who need a breathing machine or high-flow oxygen. Researchers measured sleep stages using brain monitorin…

This study followed 221 overweight and obese mothers and their children for 8 to 10 years after a pregnancy exercise program. Researchers measured blood sugar, body mass index, and other health markers to see if exercise during pregnancy had lasting benefits. The goal was to unde…

This study created a simple questionnaire to measure what people know, think, and do about secondary hypertension. Then, researchers showed 1-minute educational videos to over 1,000 adults in suburban Beijing via community WeChat groups. The goal was to see if these short videos …

This study looked at 121 people who had surgery for Cushing's syndrome (a condition where the body makes too much cortisol). Researchers wanted to see if the size of the remaining adrenal gland could predict how long patients would need steroid replacement therapy after surgery. …

This study created a new way to grade the risk of surgery for patients with rare adrenal tumors called pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). Researchers used 3D scans from 500 patients to build a scoring system that predicts how complex and safe surgery will be. The goal is …

This study looked at 70 adults with psoriatic arthritis to compare two types of drugs—upadacitinib and IL-17 inhibitors—in everyday medical practice. Researchers tracked joint and skin symptoms over 24 weeks to see which treatment worked better. The goal is to help doctors and pa…
