Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of oral versus intravenous (IV) administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing hip surgery.
- Anemia is common in these patients, leading to complications, and TXA is commonly used for blood management during surgery.
- Results showed that both oral and IV TXA significantly reduced total perioperative blood loss compared to a control group, but there was no significant difference between the routes of administration.
Article Synopsis
- * It included five randomized controlled trials and eight cohort studies, highlighting that TXA significantly reduces the need for blood transfusions, total blood loss, and hemoglobin drop post-surgery, without affecting intraoperative blood loss or complication rates.
- * Overall, the findings suggest that TXA is beneficial for these patients, with no major differences noted based on type of surgery or method of administration.
Objective: To observe the pressure pain threshold (PPT), skin conductance (SC) and blood perfusion (BP) of the sensitized acupoints in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and explore the mechanism of acupuncture at the sensitized acupoints for treating diseases.
Methods: Eleven healthy subjects and 11 unilateral KOA patients were recruited from July 2020 to March 2021 in this study. The PPT, SC and BP of control acupoints in healthy controls, and non-sensitized and sensitized acupoints in KOA patients were measured and compared between baseline and after manual acupuncture (MA) treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of oral versus intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in elderly patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric fractures.
- It included 105 patients divided into three groups: those receiving oral TXA, those receiving intravenous TXA, and a control group with no TXA.
- Results showed that both TXA treatment groups had significantly lower blood transfusion rates and total blood loss compared to the control group, with no notable differences between the oral and intravenous groups.
