This study looked at whether canagliflozin, a diabetes medicine, can reduce scarring in the heart muscle of people with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for heart problems. 45 adults took the drug, and researchers used heart scans to measure changes in fibrosis. The goal was …

This study looked at whether a pill called avatrombopag can safely help liver transplant patients whose platelets drop dangerously low after surgery. Researchers compared 67 patients who got the drug with 67 similar patients who received standard care. The drug group had a faster…

This study tested whether the drug evolocumab can lower the risk of major heart problems in people who had a heart attack and have several blocked arteries. Over 1,800 participants were followed to see if the drug reduced deaths, further heart attacks, or hospital stays for heart…

This study looked at different treatments for people whose leg artery stents became completely blocked. It included 322 adults with severe leg pain or wounds. The goal was to see how well the treatments restored blood flow and how long they lasted without needing another procedur…

This study tested whether adding a three-drug cocktail (thalidomide, carmofur, and compound mylabris capsules) to the standard procedure called TACE could help people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers looked at 545 patients and measured how long the…

This study tested whether using a special CT scan (CT perfusion) first could help decide which patients with a suspected mild heart attack truly need an invasive heart catheterization. 180 adults with chest pain and elevated troponin levels were randomly assigned to either the CT…

This study tested whether a newer sedative called ciprofol causes fewer dangerous drops in blood pressure than the standard drug propofol when placing a breathing tube in critically ill ICU patients. About 100 adults aged 18-85 who needed an emergency breathing tube took part. Th…

This study looked back at the medical records of 1661 people with esophageal cancer to compare two surgical methods: a newer, less invasive technique (IVMTE) and a standard one (VME). The goal was to see which approach led to fewer complications and better long-term survival. The…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could help doctors better diagnose and predict the course of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung condition. Researchers analyzed chest CT scans and clinical data from 400 intensive care unit patients to …

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could predict a person's risk of developing a specific type of heart failure (HFrEF) up to five years in advance, using only a standard ECG. Researchers analyzed data from over 286,000 adults in China and the United States. T…

This study looked at whether artificial intelligence (AI) can predict if a person's heart valve disease will get worse. Researchers used data from over 116,000 adults who had routine electrocardiograms (ECGs) and chest X-rays. The goal was to see if combining these tests with AI …

This study looks at better ways to measure how tumors respond to treatment before surgery. Researchers compared a new 3D method (TDTP-RECIST) with the standard approach (RECIST 1.1) in 120 adults with breast, pancreatic, or biliary cancers. By reviewing past scans and tumor tissu…

This study looked at 3000 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer to see if a combination of chest CT scans, lung function tests, and blood markers could predict how well immunotherapy plus chemotherapy works and who might develop a serious lung inflammation called pneumo…

This study looked at 20 non-diabetic ICU patients to see if there is a link between blood sugar levels and heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of nervous system health. The goal was to better understand stress-induced high blood sugar in critically ill patients. Researchers m…
