Introduction: The antifibrinolytic tranexamic acid (TXA) may reduce death in trauma; however, outcomes associated with TXA use in patients without proven hyperfibrinolysis remain unclear. We analyzed the associations of empirically administered TXA, hypothesizing that TXA use would correlate to lower transfusion totals but increased thromboembolic complications.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared trauma patients started on massive transfusion protocol at a Level I trauma center from 2016 to 2021 who either did or did not receive TXA.

Aim: Assessment of neurologic injury within the immediate hours following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation remains a major clinical challenge. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), small bodies derived from cytosolic contents during injury, may provide the opportunity for "liquid biopsy" within hours following resuscitation, as they contain proteins and RNA linked to cell type of origin. We evaluated whether micro-RNA (miRNA) from serologic EVs were associated with post-arrest neurologic outcome.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been enormous interest in the development of measures that would allow for the swift detection of the disease. The rapid screening and preliminary diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection allow for the instant identification of possibly infected individuals and the subsequent mitigation of the disease spread. Herein, the detection of SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals was explored using noninvasive sampling and low-preparatory-work analytical instrumentation.
