Comprehensive Measures for Reducing Perinatal Blood Loss

New Technique for Reducing Blood Loss in Total Knee Arthroplasty

A prospective randomised study was carried out to evaluate the blood loss in 30 total knee arthropasty patients, who were divided randomly into two equal groups; one having new technique bone plug and bone wax, while the other used a bone plug only. The surgery was carried out by a single surgeon at one institution using the uniform approach and standard operation. The mean drainage of blood wa...

Reducing Blood Loss in Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty

BACKGROUND We asked whether tranexamic acid (TXA) administration could reduce blood loss and blood transfusion requirements after simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study examined the role of a novel method of TXA administration in TKA. METHODS TXA was administered as a bolus dose of 15 mg/kg 10 min before the inflation of the tourniquet on the first side. This was fol...

Comprehensive Study of Transmission Techniques for Reducing Packet Loss and Delay in Multimedia over IP

Quality-of-service (QoS) is still one of the major challenges in real-time communication over IP networks. That needs one solution mechanism to overcome these problems. In this paper, we perform a comprehensive study of the existing transmission technique. We categorize these techniques into three groups; client side technique, active technique and packet scheduling technique. We list out sever...
