The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of estimated blood loss (EBL) as a reliable predictor of actual blood loss during orthopedic procedures. Between 1999 and 2002, 198 orthopedic cases were reviewed. A retrospective review compiled preoperative and postoperative demographic and laboratory data from the surgical patients. Estimated blood loss data was collected from the perioper...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY In forensic autopsies it is important to determine the age of early vital skin wounds as accurate as possible. In addition to inflammation, coagulation is also induced in vital wounds. Analysis of blood coagulation markers in wound hemorrhage could therefore be an important additional discriminating factor in wound age determination. The aim of this study was to develop a w...

INTRODUCTION Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) technique is used for neuroimaging to improve visibility of iron deposits, veins, and hemorrhage [1]. Quantitative susceptibility imaging (QSI) improves upon SWI by measuring iron in tissues, which can be useful for molecular/cellular imaging to analyze brain function, diagnose neurological diseases, and quantify contrast agent concentrations. ...
