This study compares two schedules for shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) to treat kidney stones 8-15 mm. 600 participants will receive two ESWL treatments either in the same week or three weeks apart. Researchers will measure how quickly stones clear, complication rates, and patient qu…

This study looks at two different hip implant shells (the Trident II and the older Trident Hemi) to see if they hold in place equally well after hip replacement surgery. About 87 adults aged 40-75 who need a new hip will be tracked for up to 10 years using special X-ray technique…

This study tests a new uncemented knee implant made of a special porous metal (Tritanium) against the standard cemented version. The goal is to see if the new implant stays firmly attached to the bone over time, reducing the risk of loosening and the need for repeat surgery. Abou…

This early-stage trial tests whether transplanting lab-grown dopamine cells into the brain is safe for people with Parkinson's disease. Eight participants with moderate Parkinson's will receive a single dose of these stem cells. The study focuses on safety and looks for early sig…

This study tests a special camera that uses light and sound to take 3D pictures of skin cancer. The goal is to see how deep and wide a tumor is before surgery. About 200 people with suspected skin cancer will take part. The images will be compared to standard lab results to see i…

This study tests a low-cost, portable ultrasound device (POCUS) combined with artificial intelligence to detect breast cancer in women with suspicious symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard imaging, especially in places where expensive equipment i…
