To assess individual participants' baseline thrombosis risk calculated by Caprini Risk Score (CRS) before injury, illness, or hospitalization occur, to increase the awareness of venous thromboembolism (VTE) by viewing 2 short videos. A cross-sectional study was conducted online between August 2022 and January 2023 in the USA, UK, and India to assess the risk of thrombosis of individuals as a baseline.

Introduction: We conducted a cross-sectional survey as a part of an educational program in collaboration with the Global Thrombosis Forum (GTF), an affiliate of North American Thrombosis Forum (NATF), and Loyola University about public perceptions of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccinations in the US. In this study, we are reporting the results of this survey.
Materials And Methods: The survey, in the form of a questionnaire, has been developed by GTF and faculty members.
Background: Systemic hypothermia may reduce infarct size if established before reperfusion. The large surface area of the bowel may facilitate rapid hypothermia. We therefore examined the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of hypothermia induced by an automated peritoneal lavage system in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
