Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyComparison of fondaparinux with low molecular weight heparin for venous thromboembolism prevention in patients requiring rigid or semi-rigid immobilization for isolated non-surgical below-knee injury.
In several small studies, anticoagulant therapy reduced the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with isolated lower-limb injuries. ⋯ Fondaparinux 2.5 mg day(-1) may be a valuable therapeutic option over nadroparin 2850 anti-FXa IU day(-1) for preventing VTE after below-knee injury requiring prolonged immobilization in patients with additional risk factors.

Prescription headache medication in OEF/OIF veterans: results from the Women Veterans Cohort Study.
To examine differences in male and female veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) period of service in taking prescription headache medication, and associations between taking prescription headache medication and mental health status, psychiatric symptoms, and rates of traumatic events. ⋯ Among OEF/OIF veterans, the prevalence of clinically relevant headache is high, particularly among women veterans. Taking prescription headache medication is associated with poor mental health status, higher rates of psychiatric symptoms, and higher rates of traumatic events; however, these variables did not appear to meaningfully account for gender differences in prevalence of taking prescription headache medication. Future research should endeavor to identify factors that might account for the observed differences.
