This study looked at whether teaching mindful eating skills to adults with obesity can reduce hedonic hunger—the desire to eat for pleasure rather than hunger. 82 participants either followed a weight-loss diet alone or added mindful eating training. Researchers measured changes …

This study looked at whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can reduce pain and the need for painkillers after robotic-assisted partial kidney removal. 46 adults aged 18-70 were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block with bupivacaine or no block.…

This study tested whether gargling with cold water can help reduce dry mouth and thirst in patients who had major abdominal surgery. 88 adults were split into two groups: one gargled cold water, the other received standard care. Researchers measured thirst, dry mouth, and satisfa…

This study tested whether a smartphone-based counseling program works as well as face-to-face sessions for adults with chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 42 participants received either app-based or in-person counseling over six weeks. Researchers measured changes in tinnitu…

This study looked at whether a supervised exercise program can help people with blood cancers maintain or improve their strength during a stem cell transplant. Fifteen adults took part, with some doing strength, endurance, and flexibility exercises for 8 weeks while others receiv…

This study looked at 60 children aged 3-12 having inguinal hernia repair to compare two anesthesia methods: one given through an IV (target-controlled infusion) and one inhaled as a gas. The goal was to see which method leads to better recovery and more stable vital signs during …

This study looked at whether giving precise amounts of fluid during coronary artery bypass surgery can help prevent memory and thinking problems that often occur after the operation. Researchers monitored 60 patients' blood flow and adjusted fluids accordingly. The goal was to se…

This study tested whether numbing sprays (lidocaine or benzocaine) can reduce pain and improve satisfaction when inserting needles into the arm access site of people on hemodialysis. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the two numbing sprays or a placebo spray r…

This study looked at 54 adults with tooth pulp disease to see if different root canal filling materials affect pain after a single-session treatment. Participants recorded their pain levels for 7 days using a 0-10 scale. The goal was to find which material causes the least discom…

This study looked at whether a slow, gentle back massage could reduce pain and tiredness in women with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes widespread body pain. 48 women took part, with some receiving the massage three times a week for 10 minutes each session. Researchers measu…

This study tested whether adding a propolis (a bee product) mouth care routine could prevent or reduce mouth sores in 60 COPD patients in the intensive care unit. Half received standard mouth care plus propolis for 15 days, while the other half received standard care alone. Resea…

This study looked at whether taking whey protein and doing a home exercise program for two weeks before hip replacement surgery helps older adults recover better. 62 people aged 50-70 took part. The results suggest this approach may improve nutrition, reduce inflammation, and hel…

This study tested a less invasive way to perform jaw surgery (Le Fort I) in 47 healthy adults aged 18 to 40. The goal was to see if the new method reduces bleeding, pain, and swelling compared to the standard surgery. Researchers measured recovery time and used 3D imaging to trac…

This study tested whether watching an animated video through virtual reality glasses before surgery could reduce anxiety and fear in children (ages 7-13) and their mothers. Sixty children having surgery for the first time and their mothers participated. The goal was to make the s…

This study tested a new way to dose spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections. Instead of using height and weight, researchers measured the length of the lower spine to set the bupivacaine dose. They wanted to see if this method could lower the risk of dangerously low blood pressur…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks (TFP and TAP) to see which one works better for pain after robotic-assisted prostate removal. 108 men who were in good health before surgery took part. The goal was to find out which block reduces pain, cuts the need for extra pain medi…

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses for 30 minutes each evening could help people with COPD in the intensive care unit sleep better and feel less anxious. Fifty patients took part, with half using VR and half receiving standard care. The results showed th…

This study looked at whether keeping a diary of breathing exercises can reduce lung complications and improve recovery in people who had major abdominal surgery. 60 patients were split into two groups: one used a breathing exercise diary, the other did not. Researchers tracked br…

This study looked at two types of nerve blocks (TAP and TFP) to see which one works better for pain after a planned C-section. 90 women were randomly assigned to get one of the blocks or no block, all under spinal anesthesia. The main goal was to measure pain levels using a stand…

This study looked at 100 children aged 6 to 9 with cavities to see if dental treatment improves their chewing. Kids chewed a special two-colored gum before and three months after treatment, and a computer measured how well they mixed the colors. The goal was to understand if fixi…

This study looked at stress levels in 3 female pediatric dentists with over 10 years of experience while they performed dental treatments under deep sedation or general anesthesia. Researchers measured stress using saliva samples (alpha-amylase and cortisol), blood pressure, puls…

This study looked at 200 adults having kidney stone surgery to see if lying on their back or stomach during the procedure changes the strain on their lungs. Researchers measured lung mechanics and checked for breathing problems after surgery. The goal is to help surgeons choose t…

This study looked at how facial soft tissues change after two types of jaw surgery for people with a specific jaw misalignment (skeletal Class III). Researchers used 3D imaging to compare minimally invasive surgery versus conventional surgery in 31 patients. The goal was to under…

This study looked at whether nurses' attitudes toward artificial intelligence are connected to their ability to think critically. Researchers surveyed 294 nurses at a Turkish hospital using two separate questionnaires. The goal was to understand if these two traits are related, w…

This study looked at 50 people who had jaw surgery to fix facial deformities. Researchers compared two surgical methods—subspinal Le Fort and conventional Le Fort I—to see which one led to better nose and lip appearance and less swelling after surgery. The goal was to find the te…
