The effects of three antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, clopidogrel and cilostazol, were examined and compared using a quantitative bleeding time (QBT) test apparatus. In 12 healthy adult male subjects, a QBT test and platelet aggregation test were performed before and after medication. Cilostazol was found to be as effective as aspirin and clopidogrel in inhibiting platelet aggregation. Following the oral administration of aspirin and clopidogrel for 7 days, the bleeding time was significantly prolonged. In contrast, none of these QBT parameters were altered by the cilostazol treatment. This suggests that cilostazol has potent efficacy in inhibiting platelet aggregation without prolonging the bleeding time and changing the bleeding pattern.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine if tranexamic acid (TXA) can assist in improving outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cu! repair (RCR).
Methods: The databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and Scopus were searched for all types of studies examining the e"cacy of TXA for arthroscopic RCR. Twelve studies, 10 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and 2 retrospective studies were considered eligible.
Concurrent Renorrhaphy During Renal Mass Excision in Laparoscopic Nephron-Sparing Surgery: A Novel Surgical Technique.

Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

Department of Pharmacy Practice, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA.
Background: Guideline-recommended strategies to interrupt chronic anticoagulation with warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) during the perioperative period of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) surgery differ worldwide. There is uncertainty concerning the benefits and harms of interrupted and uninterrupted anticoagulation in patients undergoing CIED surgery.
Objectives: To assess the benefits and harms of interrupted anticoagulation (IAC) with either warfarin or DOAC in the perioperative period of CIED surgery versus uninterrupted anticoagulation (UAC), with or without heparin bridging, during an equivalent time frame, for CIED surgery.

Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, United States.
Background: Effective management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is crucial for preventing adverse events. Traditional prognostic tools, such as rule-based methods or Cox regression, despite their widespread use and ease, tend to yield moderate predictive accuracy within predetermined timeframes. This study introduces a new contrastive learning-based approach to enhance prediction efficacy over multiple time intervals.

Trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunting (TIPSS) has been in use for many years with great results and many evolutions. The procedure essentially involves the insertion of a metal covert stent to create an Hepato-Hepatic portosystemic shunt. Over time, TIPSS has become the subject of many studies aimed at examining its clinical utility and evaluating the results of using TIPSS to manage complications related to portal hypertension.
