This study tested a liver-directed chemotherapy for people with a common type of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) who also have cirrhosis. The treatment involved injecting a chemotherapy drug mixed with a fatty substance directly into the liver artery. The main goal was to…

This study looked at people who regained weight after gastric bypass surgery. It compared a procedure that uses a special endoscope to stitch and narrow the stomach outlet (OverStitch) against standard non-invasive care like diet and nutrition counseling. The goal was to see whic…

This study looked at whether removing a large blood clot from the brain within 7 hours of a major stroke could reduce long-term disability. It included 335 adults with severe strokes. The procedure was compared to standard care, but the trial was stopped early, so results are lim…

This study aimed to see if adding a Nissen fundoplication (an anti-reflux wrap) to standard sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery) could better control acid reflux in people with severe obesity. Only 2 people joined before the study was stopped early, so no clear conclusions ca…

This study looked at whether measuring two proteins in the blood (S100B and copeptin) can accurately detect brain damage in children after a head injury. The goal was to reduce the need for CT scans, which expose children to radiation and are often normal. The study included 167 …

This study looked at whether a third-trimester ultrasound can find signs of a serious gut condition called malrotation, which can lead to a life-threatening twist (volvulus) in unborn babies. Researchers compared ultrasound results to fetal MRI, the current gold standard, in 77 p…
