Background: Anaemia and blood transfusion are associated with poor outcomes after hip fracture. We evaluated the efficacy of intravenous iron and tranexamic acid in reducing blood transfusions after hip fracture surgery.
Methods: In this double-blind, randomised, 2 × 2 factorial trial, we recruited adults hospitalised for hip fractures in 12 medical centres in France who had preoperative haemoglobin concentrations between 9·5 and 13·0 g/dL.

Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a new fascial plane block that may be helpful for laparoscopic surgeries. In this present study, we aim to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of QLB in laparoscopic living related donor nephrectomy (LLRDN) applied continuously via a catheter that was placed under laparoscopic vision by the surgeon. Following the approval of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Istanbul University, Istanbul Medical Faculty (2019/1552), 9 study (Group QLB) and 26 control (Group M) patients that underwent LLRDN were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infection is one of the four primary health-care-associated infections applicable to pediatric intensive care units defined by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to current guidelines, it is essential to flush vascular access devices before each infusion to assess catheter function and prevent catheter-related complications.
Objective: This prospective trial aimed to assess the potential differences between pre-filled and manually prepared saline syringe use during vascular access device management in a pediatric intensive care unit.
