Article Synopsis
- Hospitalized COVID-19 patients face a high risk of thromboembolism and death, creating a need to compare the safety and effectiveness of factor Xa inhibitors versus enoxaparin for prevention.
- A systematic review of studies revealed 4048 patients, showing that factor Xa inhibitors reduced thromboembolism incidence compared to enoxaparin, but results varied significantly by study type.
- The analysis concluded that while factor Xa inhibitors appear more effective in preventing thromboembolism later than during acute illness, there was no significant difference in bleeding or overall mortality rates between the two medications.
Seasons have a major impact on the frequency and characteristics of burn injuries; in warmer months, thermal burns from outdoor activities are more common, while in cooler months, incidents involving heating sources and fires are more common. It is essential to comprehend these trends in order to customize safety precautions and awareness initiatives. Studies on the impact of seasonal variations help burn centers allocate resources more effectively in order to prepare for variations in patient volume and severity.

Researchers show great interest in the development of more versatile and sophisticated biomaterials based drug carriers. Hydrogels are beneficial drug carriers and easily release the controlled amount of drug at target site due to its tunable structure.

Anecdotally hypomagnesemia occurs commonly with carboplatin, however there are limited data available regarding frequency or severity.
Aims: To quantify incidence and severity of hypomagnesemia in patients receiving carboplatin-based chemotherapy for OC; to explore a dose-response relationship with carboplatin and assess potential confounding variables.
