Introduction: Compared with the guideline-recommended use of low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for 28 days to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after cytoreductive surgery, oral rivaroxaban avoids the pain and inconvenience of daily injections and reduces medical expenses. The proposed randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin in preventing VTE in patients after surgery for gynaecological malignancies and to provide a reference for clinical medication prevention.
Methods And Analysis: This is a single-centre, randomised, controlled, open-label and assessor-blind clinical trial.

Background/aim: Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is widely employed to prevent postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study aimed at analyzing LMWH use and evaluating its efficacy and safety in immediate implant-based post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
Patients And Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) from January 2021 to December 2023.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). Aspirin has gained attention as a cost-effective, safe alternative to traditional anticoagulants like enoxaparin, but comparative data on efficacy and safety remain limited.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy of aspirin and enoxaparin in preventing VTE following TKA and THA.
Enoxaparin sodium is a low molecular mass heparin essential for effective anticoagulation therapy. However, significant variations in testing methods across different manufacturers have led to poor reproducibility of results, increasing the risks associated with drug quality evaluation by manufacturers and regulatory oversight. This study integrates the strengths of various testing methods to establish a reproducible assay that has been thoroughly validated.

Burn injury results in hypercoagulability and an increased venous thromboembolism risk. However, the most effective chemoprophylaxis for burn-injured patients has yet to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to identify the safety and efficacy of a burn center's venous thromboembolism protocol modification which increased the dose of enoxaparin from 40mg daily to 40mg twice daily with peak anti-Xa level adjustments.
