This study tested the Ultimaster stent, a device that helps open blocked heart arteries. The stent slowly releases a drug to prevent re-blockage and then dissolves over a few months. Researchers followed 204 adults with coronary artery disease for one year to see how safe and eff…

This study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy (doxorubicin) could help people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that has spread or come back. The trial included 44 adults with confirmed sarcoma. The main goal was to check safety and h…

This study looked at whether aiming for a very low LDL (bad) cholesterol level (below 55 mg/dL) is better than a standard target (below 70 mg/dL) for people with heart or blood vessel disease. About 3,000 Asian adults took either a statin alone or a statin plus ezetimibe to reach…

This study looked at how safe and effective a new type of drug-coated stent (Genoss) is for people with serious coronary artery disease. Researchers followed 200 patients for a year to track heart-related deaths, heart attacks, and the need for repeat procedures. The goal was to …

This study tested whether wearing a heart monitor for 8 days or more finds more cases of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that raises stroke risk) than wearing it for just 1 day. About 1000 adults aged 75 or older (or with other stroke risk factors) wore a small patch …

This study tested whether the drug fexuprazan can prevent or control gastritis (stomach inflammation) symptoms in people who need to take systemic steroids for respiratory diseases. 42 adults took either fexuprazan or another drug (lansoprazole) for 4 weeks. Researchers tracked c…

This study tested a skin booster made from human tissue (phADM) combined with hyaluronic acid to improve wrinkles and skin texture. Twenty adults received injections on one side of the face with the new booster and on the other side with hyaluronic acid alone. The goal was to see…

This study tested whether one session of radiofrequency with continuous water cooling can lift the jawline and contour the lower face in women aged 38 to 50. Researchers measured changes in facial shape over 8 weeks using 3D imaging. The goal was to see if this non-invasive treat…

This study looked at whether iloprost, a drug used for high blood pressure in the lungs, can help obese patients maintain better oxygen levels during lung surgery when only one lung is being ventilated. The trial involved 78 obese adults scheduled for lung surgery. Researchers me…

This study looked at whether a combination inhaler (tiotropium/olodaterol) can improve exercise ability in people with COPD who have overinflated lungs. 44 adults with COPD used the inhaler for 4 weeks. Researchers measured changes in oxygen use during exercise, heart function, a…

This study tested if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce depression symptoms. 198 adults with mild to moderate depression used a home-based device. The goal was to see if this gentle electrical stimulation could improve mood and daily function.

This study looked at 135 adults having heart bypass surgery to see if vitamin D levels affect how well their blood (hemoglobin) recovers after the operation. Researchers measured vitamin D and a protein called hepcidin, which controls iron in the body. The goal was to understand …

This completed study looked at whether an AI-enhanced electrocardiogram (ECG) can predict heart damage caused by cancer treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Researchers analyzed data from over 31,000 adults who had an ECG before starting cancer therapy. The goal was to…

This study looked at whether a heart artery procedure (angioplasty) can be done safely through a small tube placed in the wrist near the hand. 100 adults with heart disease took part. The main goal was to check for complications like bleeding or artery blockage. The approach appe…

This study measured how much radiation doctors are exposed to during heart procedures like coronary angiography and stenting. It compared two ways to access the artery: through the left side of the wrist versus the right side. Over 1,000 patients took part to see which approach r…

This study looked at 150 adults having heart valve surgery to see if a protein called erythroferron helps the body recover hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) after surgery. The researchers measured hemoglobin levels before and after surgery and compared them to er…

This study aimed to find biological markers in the blood and tumors that could predict how well patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer respond to the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab. Researchers analyzed immune cells, genetics, and microbiomes from 100 participants. Th…
