Randomized Controlled Trial
The use of controlled mild hypothermia and immune system status in patients with severe brain injury.
Severe brain injuries pose one of the most important problems on our health care because of their high morbidity and mortality. ⋯ Intensive treatment of intracranial hypertension fundamentally affects results of our treatment (Glasgow Outcome Score). The application of controlled mild hypothermia doesn't escalate the occurrence of extra cranial inflammatory complications after severe brain injury (Tab. 2, Fig. 11, Ref. 15).

Randomized Controlled Trial
Correlation between the aPTT and clinical events in acute coronary syndromes treated with unfractionated heparin.
The primary objective of this study is to analyse relationship between activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and clinical events in patients with unstable coronary artery disease. ⋯ The level of aPTT shows discordance with the onset of clinical events and is a weak predictor of outcomes (Tab. 2, Fig. 7, Ref 5).
