Article Synopsis
- Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a medicine used during spine surgery to help reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions.
- Researchers looked at many studies to compare different ways of using TXA during a specific type of back surgery.
- They found that using TXA in different ways didn't make a big difference in surgery time or blood loss, suggesting all methods are pretty similar.
Purpose: To elucidate risk factors for meibomian gland disease (MGD) and understand associated changes in meibography and in relation to ocular surface disease.
Patients And Methods: As part of the standard workup for ocular surface disease at a tertiary academic center, 203 patients received an ocular history and lifestyle questionnaire. The questionnaire included detailed inquiries about ocular health and lifestyle, including makeup use, cosmetic eyelid procedures, screen time, and contact lens habits.
Background: As ground-level falls (GLFs) are a significant cause of mortality in elderly patients, field triage plays an essential role in patient outcomes. This research investigates how machine learning algorithms can supplement traditional t-tests to recognize statistically significant patterns in medical data and to aid clinical guidelines.
Methods: This is a retrospective study using data from 715 GLF patients over 75 years old.
