Background: The increasing awareness of the emotional consequences of emergency cesarean deliveries (C-sections) highlights their substantial role in fostering postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of PTSD following emergency C-sections, as well as the implications of these events on maternal mental health and welfare.
Methods: Undertaking extensive searches of Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, we have incorporated studies published from 2013 onwards that examined the occurrence of PTSD following emergency C-sections.

Background: Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation can be initiated by calcium and tissue factor, which may independently contribute to microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis after injury and transfusion. Previous studies have demonstrated that increased blood storage duration may contribute to thrombotic events. The aims of this study were to first determine the effect of blood product components, age, and hematocrit (HCT) on the aggregability of RBCs, followed by measurement of RBC aggregability in two specific injury models including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hemorrhagic shock.
