Background: Traumatic haemorrhage is common after severe injury, leading to disability and death. Cryoprecipitate, a source of fibrinogen, may improve outcomes for patients with traumatic haemorrhage.
Objective: To investigate the effects of early fibrinogen supplementation in the form of 3 pools (15 units, approximately 6 g of fibrinogen) of cryoprecipitate on 28-day mortality.
Introduction: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease that causes scalp, face, and/or body hair loss. Recently, oral treatments with kinases inhibition became the first approved therapies for severe AA. An understanding of the use and effectiveness of traditional therapies in real-world treatment settings is needed to guide integration of novel therapies into the treatment paradigm.

The World Health Organization has recognized a need for a valid and reliable method of measuring adherence to understand and mitigate non-adherence. This study aimed to psychometrically evaluate the English version of the Adelphi Adherence Questionnaire (ADAQ©), a questionnaire designed to assess patient-reported medication adherence across multiple therapy areas, in patients with Osteoarthritis (OA).

As each pixel has its own geometry, electromagnetic simulations by hand of every pixel in a kilo-pixel array are impractical. Simulating fewer pixels and interpolating in between risks reduced pixel yield in arrays due to overlapping resonant frequencies.
