Tranexamic Acid in Pregnant Women With Placenta Previa: A Double-Blind, Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial.

Aims: To determine the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing vaginal bleeding, extending pregnancy duration, and enhancing perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with placenta previa.

Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted at three maternity teaching hospitals in Iraq's Kurdistan region, Azadi Hospital in the north of Iraq, and Al-Azhar University Hospital in Egypt on 146 women with placenta previa. Participants were randomly assigned to two interventional groups in a 1:1 ratio to receive either TXA or Dextrose 5% water (D5W).

Role of laparoscopic surgery in blunt abdominal trauma; retrospective analysis in a tertiary trauma center.

Purpose: Trauma is a significant health concern globally and is one of the leading causes of illness and death. The laparoscopic approach has gained popularity in trauma care since its inception, becoming increasingly favored for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This study aims to reduce unnecessary laparotomies and assess the effectiveness of laparoscopy in managing patients with blunt abdominal trauma.

Impact of Antimicrobial Therapy on Mortality and Readmission in Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas Infections: A Retrospective Study at Dammam Medical Complex.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa presents a significant treatment challenge, necessitating effective antimicrobial options. This retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted at Dammam Medical Complex and aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), ceftolozane-tazobactam (C-T), and meropenem and colistin in treating MDR P. aeruginosa infections.

Myo-inositol improves developmental competence and reduces oxidative stress in porcine parthenogenetic embryos.

Objective: Myo-inositol (Myo-Ins), the most abundant form of inositol, is an antioxidant and plays a crucial role in the development and reproduction of mammals and humans. However, information elucidating the role of Myo-Ins in porcine embryonic development after parthenogenetic activation (PA) is still lacking. Therefore, we investigated the effect of Myo-Ins on porcine embryos and its underlying mechanisms.

Role of Strong Opioids in an Effective Discharge for Lower-Limb Large Joint Arthroplasty Patients: A Patient-Based Analysis.

Background/objective: Adequate postoperative analgesics are an essential element in the recovery and rehabilitation of large joint lower-limb arthroplasty patients in their acute postoperative phase. In this study, we will establish that strong opioids like morphine should be included as postoperative analgesics to improve patient satisfaction.  Material: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Arthroplasty Ward, Trauma, and Orthopaedics Department in a district general hospital of the United Kingdom.
