A procedure is described for the determination of plasma tranexamic acid concentrations using cation exchange high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection following post-column derivatisation with omicron-phthalaldehyde. The chromatographic conditions were optimised with respect to detector performance and the method applied to measuring the plasma tranexamic acid levels of patients in a double-blind trial.

Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by molecular and clinical heterogeneity. This article reports four Moroccan cases of FVII deficiency within the same family, two of which were associated with Gilbert's syndrome. The index case was a 15-year-old girl with a history of menorrhagia and jaundice.

Background: Tranexamic acid is an anti-fibrinolytic agent routinely used during hip and knee joint replacement surgery to minimize bleeding. Chronic kidney disease is a common chronic health problem seen among adults requiring major arthroplasty surgery. Tranexamic acid is renally cleared and may accumulate in chronic kidney disease.

Objectives: Antifibrinolytics, such as tranexamic acid (TXA), are widely used in cardiac surgery to reduce bleeding risks; however, the optimal dosage for TXA infusion remains a subject of debate. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high-dose compared with low-dose TXA infusion in cardiac surgery patients.
Methods: PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched until June 10, 2023, for studies assessing efficacy outcomes (e.

Purpose: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely used as an antifibrinolytic drug. However, studies to determine the optimal blood concentration of TXA have produced inconsistent results. During cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has serious effects on drug distribution, elimination, and plasma concentration.

Few studies discuss the co-management of vitiligo and acquired hyperpigmentation disorders (AHD) such as melasma, erythema dyschromicum perstans, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, drug-induced hyperpigmentation, and lichen planus pigmentosus. This review discusses clinical studies examining co-management strategies and identifies current practice gaps. Dermatology Life Quality Index scores are higher in individuals with vitiligo or melasma.
