Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the all-cause mortality associated with the most commonly used hemostatic treatments in patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures.
Methods: Up to April 30, 2023, we searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane, including the references to qualified papers. A meta-analysis was performed on studies that reported odds ratios (ORs) or the number of events needed to calculate them. The PROSPERO registration number was CRD42023421137.
Results: Of the 3452 titles identified in our original search, 29 met our criteria. Extraperitoneal packing (EPP) (OR = 0.626 and 95% CI = 0.413-0.949), external fixation (EF) (OR = 0.649 and 95% CI = 0.518-0.814), and arterial embolism (AE) (OR = 0.459 and 95% CI = 0.291-0.724) were associated with decreased mortality. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) (OR = 2.824 and 95% CI = 1.594-5.005) was associated with increased mortality. A random effect model meta-analysis of eight articles showed no difference in mortality between patients with AE and patients with EPP for the initial treatments for controlling blood loss (OR = 0.910 and 95% CI = 0.623-1.328).
Conclusion: This meta-analysis collectively suggested EF, AE, or EPP as life-saving procedures for patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures.

Objective: To quantify agreement between oscillometric non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) in infants <500 g during the first postnatal week.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort of infants with a birth weight <500 g admitted to a tertiary NICU (2011-2023). Paired IBP-NIBP readings obtained within 1 min were analyzed.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are key initiating events in the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a condition associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and long-term complications. While traditional therapies have focused on anticoagulation and thrombolysis, current evidence describes the pivotal role of immune pathways in the pathogenesis and progression of thrombosis. This review explores the multifaceted mechanisms underlying DVT and PE, emphasizing the contribution of inflammation, leukocyte activation, and immuno-thrombosis to thrombus formation and embolization.

Background: In hyponatremic patients, concurrent dialysate flow during hemodialysis may be an ideal option to mitigate complications such as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).
Methods: Present randomized controlled trial enrolled dialysis-requiring chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with serum sodium levels < 125 mEq/L during January 2020 over 16 months. Hemodynamically unstable patients, as well as those with a history of seizures and neurological conditions, were excluded.

Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a recognized risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although ventricular tachyarrhythmias are the most common immediate cause of SCD, the majority of cases of SCD in patients with severe AS exhibited bradyarrhythmia as the primary rhythm. Enhanced activation of left ventricular baroreceptors (Bezold-Jarisch reflex) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of syncope in patients with AS.
