To determine the efficacy of preoperative Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in reducing perioperative allogenic blood transfusion frequency in patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS). ⋯ Tranexamic acid (TXA) significantly reduces the frequency of peri operative allogenic blood transfusion in patients undergoing Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) for intertrochanteric fractures.
-
To determine the correlation between Emotional Intelligence (EI) scores and academic scores and identify other factors that have a relationship with EI. ⋯ The study showed that EI competencies have a strong positive correlation with the academic performance of MHPE students. Hence, it emphasizes the need for including development of EI in the outcomes and curricula of the existing MHPE program.
-
To compare the effect of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and conventional ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on benign thyroid nodules (BTNs). ⋯ Compared with conventional ultrasound, CEUS-guided RFA is effective in treating BTNs, with smaller postoperative nodule volume, reduced occurrence of surgical complications, and reduced recurrence rate of thyroid nodules.
-
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the comprehensive nursing intervention on elderly patients with hypertension combined with hyperuricemia. ⋯ Comprehensive nursing intervention plays a vital role in the treatment and prognosis of hypertension combined with hyperuricemia.
-
To correlate the results of HER2/neu protein overexpression on immunohistochemistry (IHC) and gene amplification on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and to document the problems faced in performing FISH procedure. ⋯ Her2/neu amplification was seen in most Her2/neu 3+ cases and approximately one-third of Her2neu 2+ cases. Proper fixation, adequate biopsy material with standardized processing is required to yield useful results on FISH.
