This study tested whether lung transplant patients can safely avoid a standard breathing tube during surgery. Thirty adults received a special laryngeal mask and sedation instead. The goal was to see if this tubeless approach helps them wake up faster and leave the hospital soone…

This study compared two ways of doing lung cancer surgery: one with a breathing tube (intubated) and one without (tubeless). The goal was to see if the tubeless approach causes less lung injury, helps patients recover faster, and reduces carbon emissions. 73 adults with early-sta…

This study tested a new, smaller scope called the "Aircraft Nephroscope" for removing kidney stones. 216 adults with kidney stones had surgery using this tool. The main goal was to see if it could remove stones completely and safely. Results focused on how many stones were gone t…

This study looked at whether a common step in kidney stone surgery—placing a tube from the bladder into the ureter—can be safely skipped. 140 adults with large kidney stones (over 2 cm) were randomly assigned to receive the standard surgery with the tube or a modified version wit…

This study looked at whether changes in simple urine tests (white blood cells and nitrite) before kidney stone surgery can help predict serious infections like fever or sepsis afterward. Researchers followed 346 adults with large or complex kidney stones. The goal was to see if t…

This study tested a new real-time, non-invasive method to locate small lung nodules during surgery, compared to the usual CT-guided needle approach. Forty people with at least two small lung nodules (under 20 mm) took part. The goal was to see if the new method helps surgeons suc…

This study looked at 80 people who had a lung transplant to see if two simple tests could warn doctors early when a patient's health starts to get worse. The tests measured breathing effort (neural respiratory drive) and a heart-related protein (Pro-BNP) in the blood. The goal wa…

This study looked at 502 adults with chronic cough to see if three simple tests (FeNO, blood eosinophils, and total IgE) can predict who will respond to inhaled corticosteroids. Participants took the steroid treatment for 4 weeks, and researchers measured changes in cough severit…
