Tranexamic Acid Timing and Mortality Impact After Trauma.

Study Objective: Trauma resuscitation guidelines across the world have incorporated the administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) within 3 hours of injury. The 3-hour window was deduced from the Clinical Randomisation of an Antifibrinolytic in Significant Haemorrhage (CRASH-2) trial and has not been replicated. The aim of this study was to determine whether death within 28 days after trauma varied according to time from injury to the first TXA dose and, if so, precisely determine the therapeutic window.

Revisiting the efficiency and necessity of adenotonsillectomy in children with mild obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the leading cause of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children, with adenotonsillectomy (AT) being the most common surgical treatment. Although AT is widely performed, its efficacy in treating mild OSA remains uncertain. Current literature suggests that children with mild OSA might benefit from non-surgical management, but there is a lack of evidence ND studies evaluating the outcomes of AT specifically for mild OSA.
