Pain is common among patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). However, there are very limited data on chronic pain HNC treated radiation therapy (XRT). In this retrospective study, we focused the characteristics of post-XRT in such patients. Post-XRT patients; however, found discrepancy between frequency treatment pain, suggesting poor documentation medical records. Among who reported to have most them described having severe used descriptors neuropathic pain. Pharynx was commonest site as...
Introduction: In recent years, platelets have been in short supply and high demand. Approximately one five cardiac surgery patients require platelets. our safety-net hospital, however, the incidence is over 40%. Renal dysfunction, long cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times, absence of tranexamic acid (TXA) are common risk factors for requiring platelet transfusions. Methods: Our hypothesis was fewer would be transfused within two hours after under these three conditions: creatinine low,...
After cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) approximately 20% of patients require platelets. In our safety-net hospital, the incidence platelet transfusion is over 40%, perhaps attributable to prevalent risk factors renal dysfunction, CPB duration, and absence tranexamic acid (TXA). We designed this retrospective observational study after surgeons decided against offering in presence these factors. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocol waived informed consent. Our hypothesis was...
