Article Synopsis
- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major health issue, particularly affecting the elderly, leading to high recurrence rates and increased healthcare costs, prompting the study to assess the impact of a VTE risk assessment tool and thromboprophylaxis in hospitalized patients.
- Conducted in a tertiary hospital in Pakistan, the study evaluated 1,200 adult inpatients, finding that only 15.83% of medical records documented a VTE risk assessment, and thromboprophylaxis was prescribed to just 37.5% of patients.
- The findings highlight that many hospitalized patients are at high risk for VTE, primarily due to old age, yet the implementation of VTE risk assessments and the use of
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential modulating effects of regel ethanol extract (AME) on rumen fermentation and biohydrogenation (BH) bacteria . Four Holstein cows were used as donors for the rumen fluid used in this study. In experiment 1, five treatments (supplemented with 0 mg/g, 1 mg/g, 2 mg/g, 3 mg/g, and 4 mg/g of AME based on fermentation substrate, respectively) were conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of AME on fermentation status .

Beyond the hallmark neurological manifestations, these disorders frequently exhibit associated respiratory dysfunction, which is increasingly recognized as a critical aspect of their pathophysiology. Respiratory abnormalities in epileptic encephalopathies encompass a spectrum of manifestations, ranging from subtle alterations in breathing patterns to life-threatening events such as apneas and hypoventilation.

- * Conducted in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, this randomized controlled trial included 100 patients with advanced hemorrhoids, excluding those with previous anorectal surgeries and certain health conditions, and measured pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
- * Results showed that patients in the LigaSure group experienced significantly lower pain levels on both the first and seventh postoperative days compared to the Milligan-Morgan group, suggesting that LigaSure may be a more effective method for reducing postoperative discomfort.
