Introduction: Circumcision remains the commonest performed surgical procedure in outpatients. Circumcision with Plastibell is the most popular used method of circumcision among surgeons. As any other surgical procedure, it inherits complications, bleeding being the commonest. The aim of this study is to compare the incidence of post-operative complications in circumcision performed with Plastib...

Background: Blood loss and the prolonged operative time for haemostasis is still a great problem after injury or during elective surgery of the liver. Various topical hemostatic agents were introduced to reduce the blood loss. The aim of this study is to evaluate the afficacy of solid carbon dioxide (SoCO2) as a hemostatic agent on hepatectomy model. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two Wistar alb...

IMPORTANCE The role of vascular closure devices (VCD) for the achievement of hemostasis in patients undergoing transfemoral coronary angiography remains controversial. OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes with the use of 2 hemostasis strategies after diagnostic coronary angiography performed via transfemoral access-a VCD-based strategy with 2 types of devices, an intravascular device and an extravas...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have described genetic mutations that affect the risk of thrombosis as a result of abnormal levels of such hemostatic parameters as protein C, protein S, and the activated protein C resistance ratio. Although these mutations suggest that genes play a part in determining variability in some hemostasis-related phenotypes, the relative importance of genetic influences on ...
