OBJECTIVES Recent data from Iraq supporting early aggressive use of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in a 1:1 ratio to packed red blood cells (PRBCs) has led many civilian trauma centers to adopt this resource intensive strategy. METHODS Prospective data were collected on 806 consecutive trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit over 2 years. Patients were stratified by PRBC:FFP transfusio...

Drawing on a postcolonial perspective and theories of strategic narratives silences, this article looks at how Sweden’s feminist foreign policy (FFP) was reported in the media conflict-affected states. It improves our understanding reception by showing that from twenty selected countries, only newspapers ten states had content FFP. is argued modest coverage guided lack interest FFP expressed si...

Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of fibrinogen compared fresh frozen plasma (FFP) on outcomes patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS). Methods: In this double-blind RCT study, chronic diseases referred emergency department (ED) were evaluated. Patients randomly divided into three equal groups; first group received concentrate (70 mg/kg), second was treated F...

And also, mediating role environment management accounting (EMA) against FFP. Data were collected from 98 respondents, worked in positions Indonesia’s manufacturing sectors. uses PLS-SEM (partial least square based structural equation model...

INTRODUCTION We conducted a post-hoc analysis on the effect of recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) on coagulopathic patients from two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials of rFVIIa as an adjunctive therapy for bleeding in patients with severe trauma. METHODS Blunt and penetrating trauma patients were randomly assigned to rFVIIa (200 + 100 + 100 microg/kg) at 0, 1, and 3 hours afte...

This paper proposes a pro-active solution to the Frugal Feeding Problem (FFP) in Wireless Sensor Networks. The FFP attempts to find energy-efficient routes for a mobile service entity to rendezvous with each member of a team of mobile robots. Although the complexity of the FFP is similar to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), we propose an efficient solution, completely distributed and locali...
