This early-phase trial tested a combination of four drugs—apalutamide, abiraterone, docetaxel, and prednisone—in 16 men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, a form of the disease that no longer responds to standard hormone therapy. The main goal was to find a safe …

This study compared two ways of taking prostate tissue samples: the standard transrectal method (through the rectum) and a newer transperineal method (through the skin between the scrotum and anus). Over 1,000 men participated to see if the transperineal approach causes fewer inf…

This study tested whether a pathogen-reduced cryoprecipitate (a blood product that helps blood clot) works as well as the standard version in controlling bleeding during heart and liver transplant surgeries. 208 adult patients were given one of the two FDA-approved products. The …

This study looked at whether adding a nurse trained in diabetes care to the treatment team helps breast cancer patients with diabetes or prediabetes manage their blood sugar during cancer therapy. Researchers split 74 patients into two groups: one worked with the diabetes nurse, …

This study tested a new MRI technique called QSM to measure iron levels in the liver more accurately than current methods. Researchers compared MRI results from 55 patients before liver transplant with chemical analysis of their removed livers. The goal is to improve diagnosis an…

This study tested a new type of talk therapy that helps people aged 50 to 90 learn to change how they think about upsetting memories and feelings. The goal was to reduce the risk of suicide after a hospital stay for suicidal thoughts or a suicide attempt. 107 participants took pa…

This study looked at 11 adults with Crohn's disease who had surgery to remove damaged parts of their intestine. Researchers compared two surgical methods—Kono-S and standard side-to-side—to see how each affected the gut's bacteria and immune cells. The goal was to gather clues ab…

This study looked at 400 people in Qatar with inherited (Mendelian) disorders. Researchers used advanced genetic sequencing to find the specific DNA changes causing these diseases. The goal was to better understand which mutations are common in this population, not to test a trea…

This study aimed to create a communication tool to help people with Alzheimer's or dementia and their caregivers discuss and plan for future medical care. Researchers worked with 38 participants to see if the tool improved their readiness to make advance care plans. The goal was …
