Article Abstract

Backgrounds/aims: This study aimed to evaluate clinical application of InnoSEAL Plus (a mussel-inspired catecholamine hemostat) as a new hemostatic material for humans.

Methods: Patients treated with topical hemostatic patches after liver resection were enrolled. They were divided into an experimental group (InnoSEAL Plus group) and two control groups (TachoSil group and Surgicel Fibrillar group) for efficacy evaluation.

Results: A total of 15 patients were enrolled. Each group had five patients. The 3-minute hemostasis success rate was 80.0% (4/5 patients) in the InnoSEAL Plus group, 80.0% (4/5 patients) in the TachoSil group, and 40.0% (2/5 patients) in the Surgicel Fibrillar group, showing no significant difference in the success rate among these groups ( > 0.05). All three groups exhibited 100% success rate for 10-minute hemostasis. Both InnoSEAL Plus and TachoSil groups had one patient developing adverse events, which were treated easily with drug administrations.

Conclusions: InnoSEAL Plus is expected to be functionally not inferior to other conventional hemostatic agents. However, it is necessary to confirm this through multicenter prospective studies in the future.

Purpose: To report reattachment rate (RR) of pars plana vitrectomy-suprachoroidal viscopexy (VIT-SCVEXY) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Additionally, this study compares the anatomic reattachment rate and functional outcomes of VIT-SCVEXY vs pars plana vitrectomy with traditional scleral buckle (PPV-SB) at postoperative month 3 and final follow-up.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted at St.

Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) causes embryonic lethality in arthropods, resulting in a significant reduction in reproductive success. In most cases, this reproductive failure is driven by Wolbachia endosymbionts through their cifA/cifB gene pair, whose products disrupts arthropod DNA replication during embryogenesis. While a cif pair has been considered a hallmark of Wolbachia, its presence and functional significance in other bacterial lineages remains poorly investigated.

Introduction: The alarming rate of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) globally is a threat to treatment success among positive tuberculosis (TB) cases. Studies aimed at determining the prevalence, trend of DR-TB and socio-demographic and clinical risk factors contributing to DR-TB in the four regions of Ghana are currently unknown. This study sought to determine the prevalence and trend of DR-TB, identify socio-demographic and clinical risk factors that influence DR-TB, and analyse the relationship between underweight and adverse drug reactions and treatment outcomes among DR-TB patients in four regions of Ghana.

Introduction: The aim of this article is to compare the long-term efficacy of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) versus Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) in reducing mortality among adult patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (uSTBAD).

Methods: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central and Google Scholar was conducted for studies comparing TEVAR with OMT for mortality in adult patients with uSTBAD. Relevant outcomes, including mortality, aortic rupture, re-intervention, retrograde type A dissection, myocardial infarction and stroke were analyzed and presented as risk ratios (RRs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
