Local Tranexamic Acid for Local Hemostasis in an Animal Liver Injury Model.

Background: Hyperfibrinolysis is a state of increased clot resolution often seen in trauma patients with ongoing hemorrhage. Tranexamic acid (TXA) inhibits fibrinolysis preventing clot resolution affecting hemorrhage continuation and is used by intravenous administration.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the local tranexamic acid application for hemostatic control in an experimental animal liver injury model.

Prevalence, Incidence and Ecological Determinants of Diabetic Retinopathy in Iran: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: To estimate the pooled prevalence and incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Iran and to investigate their correlations with the Human Development Index (HDI), healthcare access (i.e., density of specialists and sub-specialists), and methodological issues.

A review of the application of cellulose hemostatic agent on trauma injuries.

Introduction: Planning for management of bleeding in trauma injuries is very important. The initial purpose in emergency situations should be immediate establishment of an efficient hemostasis, principally in its topical application. In this study, we aimed to review the major relevant articles in the case of application of cellulose hemostatic agent on trauma injuries.

Stereological Comparison of Imbibed Fibrinogen Gauze versus Simple Gauze in External Packing of Grade IV Liver Injury in Rats.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of imbibed fibrinogen gauze on survival, bleeding and healing in liver trauma.

Methods: This animal experimental study was conducted on 20 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats; with a mean weight of 300±50 gram; divided into two groups. Grade IV injury was induced to the subjects' liver.

Conjunctivitis as a manifestation of Wegener's Granulomatosis.

Purpose: To report a case of prolonged conjunctivitis as the manifestation of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).

Methods: A 37-year-old man presented with prolonged conjunctivitis which had persisted for one month. He was taking medication for his conjunctivitis without any response.

Distribution and Rates of Visual Field Loss across Different Disease Stages in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Design: Retrospective, observational case series.

Participants: Visual fields of 278 eyes of 139 patients with POAG (9 years of follow-up with ∼17 visits) from the Rotterdam Eye Hospital in The Netherlands were analyzed to identify patterns and rates of VF loss.

HIGHLIGHTS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF BREAST NEOPLASMS.
