Topical tranexamic acid (TXA) for the management of a bleeding arteriovenous fistula.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is increasing in use in the Emergency Department (ED). While its topical uses have largely been observed in the management of epistaxis, other applications are utilized. We present a case of an 84 year old male with a bleeding arteriovenous fistula, responsive to topical application of tranexamic acid.

Apgar Scores Are Associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptom Severity.

Previous studies have investigated Apgar scores, which assess the physical condition of newborns, in relation to the risk of developing ADHD. We propose to go one step further and examine if Apgar scores are associated with ADHD symptom severity in children already diagnosed with ADHD.
