This study looked at whether practicing mindfulness meditation can improve quality of life and brain activity in people with epilepsy that doesn't get better with medication. About 37 adults and teens with this type of epilepsy, plus some healthy volunteers, took part. Researcher…

This study tested a new device that uses gentle vibrations to treat apnea (breathing pauses) in premature babies. The goal was to see if it could reduce the total time babies spend in apnea-bradycardia events compared to no stimulation. Fourteen premature infants on caffeine ther…

This study looked at 441 high-risk heart surgery patients to see if using higher pressure on the breathing machine during surgery could prevent serious lung problems or death. Patients were randomly assigned to either a high-pressure or low-pressure ventilation method. The goal w…

This study looked at why people with spina bifida often have bowel problems. Researchers checked nerve cells and gut barrier function using colon biopsies from 36 adults. The goal was to understand the cause, not to test a treatment.

This study looked at 94 adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis to better understand why some people have more trouble walking than others. Researchers used advanced MRI scans to measure damage in brain and spinal cord pathways that control movement and sensation. The …

This study looked at why older adults (over 70) often don't respond well to clopidogrel, a drug that prevents blood clots. Researchers measured drug levels and platelet activity in 37 patients aged 50-100. The goal was to understand how age affects the body's processing of the dr…

This study looked at 46 people with progressive multiple sclerosis who have more weakness on one side of their body. Researchers used MRI scans to see how damage in the brain and spinal cord relates to this uneven muscle strength. The goal was to better understand what causes phy…

This study looked at the nerves and cells in the gut of 16 healthy adults aged 18 to 65. Researchers took small tissue samples from the colon to count nerve cells and measure gut barrier function. The goal was to create a normal reference for future studies on diseases like spina…
