Introduction: The infection caused by the COVID-19 virus is associated with thromboembolic events and severe inflammatory reactions, significantly impacting the prognosis of infected patients. Numerous studies have indicated that COVID-19 patients often exhibit a hypercoagulable state, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and overwhelming inflammation, particularly in critically ill patients with multiple comorbidities requiring admission to the ICU. This study aims to assess the prognostic significance of alterations in coagulation, inflammatory, and blood chemistry markers in COVID-19 patients both before and during admission to the ICU.

Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem and patients with TBI are frequently encountered by trauma surgeons. When TBI occurs in patients who are also taking antithrombotic medications, the risks and complications are increased. Antithrombotic medications can be classified as antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants.

Background And Objectives: Patients with pregnancy and mechanical or bio-prosthetic heart valves (BHVs) need tailored antithrombotic therapy to prevent thromboembolism. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects and complications of various anticoagulation strategies used during pregnancy in these patients using a meta-analysis.

Method: We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases and discovered 24 articles.

Objectives: VTE is associated with significant morbidity and is the most common cause of preventable death in hospitalized patients. Although there are no society-specific guidelines for VTE prevention in otolaryngology, there is evidence to support routine use of chemoprophylaxis in high-risk patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate current methods of perioperative thromboprophylaxis.
