Cancer-associated thromboembolism: antithrombotic management of hospitalized patients.

Cancer increases risk for venous thromboembolism. Incident thrombocytopenia increases hemorrhagic risk. Hospitalized adults with a cancer diagnosis who received subcutaneous dalteparin in doses adjusted according to platelet count were retrospectively evaluated.

Hypoglycemic effects of tramadol analgesia in hospitalized patients: a case-control study.

Background: In outpatient populations, hypoglycemia has been associated with tramadol. We sought to determine the magnitude of risk for hypoglycemia associated with tramadol use in hospitalized patients.

Methods: During a 2-year period of observation, adult inpatients who received ≥1 dose of tramadol were identified and their medical records were reviewed.
