Efficacy and Safety of Prehospital Blood Transfusion in Traumatized Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Approximately five million individuals have traumatic injuries annually. Implementing prehospital blood-component transfusion (PHBT), encompassing packed red blood cells (p-RBCs), plasma, or platelets, facilitates early hemostatic volume replacement following trauma. The lack of uniform PHBT guidelines persists, relying on diverse parameters and physician experience.

Arresting Active Carious Lesions Using Minimal Intervention Dentistry among a Group of Preschool Children: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Objectives: This clinical trial investigated the effectiveness of three minimal intervention dentistry protocols in arresting dentin caries in primary molars of preschool children. Treatment time, anxiety in children, adverse events, and parents' esthetic perception were all assessed.

Materials And Methods: One hundred thirty-five 3-5-year-old children with active dentin caries lesions on the occlusal surface of primary molars were randomly allocated to the control group receiving atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) and two test groups receiving 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) or ultraconservative treatment (UCT).

Low-Level Amplification by FISH: An Institutional Experience With a Diagnostic Dilemma.

() amplification via fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) is the gold standard test used for confirming the diagnosis of atypical lipomatous tumor/well differentiated liposarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma. It is also used as a screening test in high grade spindle cell or pleomorphic neoplasms. FISH is considered positive for amplification when the /CEP12 ratio is greater than 2; however, a ratio between 2 and 3 is considered a "low-level" amplification and raises the possibility of a false positive result; thus, posing a diagnostic dilemma.
