STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Hemostatic agents may affect the micro-leakage of different adhesive systems. Also, chlorhexidine has shown positive effects on micro-leakage. However, their interaction effect has not been reported yet. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of contamination with a hemostatic agent on micro-leakage of total- and self-etching adhesive systems and the effect of chlorhexidine ap...

STUDY DESIGN Outcomes measurement OBJECTIVE: Describe the occurrence of cardiac emboli recorded on trans-esophageal echocardiogram (TEE) after the injection of a topical hemostatic agent into a vertebra prior to performing a pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Hemostasis during spinal surgery is critical for adequate visualization and to reduce the risk of peri-ope...

Four cases are presented to illustrate cutaneous burns sustained with the use of zeolite in the treatment of major hemorrhage secondary to combat wounds. Zeolite, a microporous crystalline aluminosilicate granular hemostatic agent, can cause secondary thermal injuries through an exothermic reaction that is likely related to the absorption of free fluid at the hemorrhage site. Understanding of t...

Abstract Background Endometriosis (EMS) can be implanted everywhere, especially in pelvic organs. EMS asymptomatic, but it result pain and infertility by inducing local inflammation adhesion. The prevalence of is about 10% reproductive-age women higher with or infertility. For young patients ovarian EMS, laparoscopic cystectomy effective relieving preventing recurrence. However, there a concern...

results the hemostatic time of aluminum chloride 50%, 25%, 15%, 10% and 5% were 8.20 ± 0.919, 14.10 ± 1.37, 21.20 ± 1.31, 30.80 ± 1.68 and 42.00 ± 4.19 seconds, respectively. also, the mean hemostasis time in the control group (suture) was 84.00 ± 4.05 seconds. the hemostatic times of different concentrations of aluminum chloride were significantly less than that of the control group. there was...

The hemostatic efficacy, as well as the cardiovascular effects, of two hemostatic agents currently used during endodontic surgery was examined. The hemostatic agents used were epinephrine pellets (Racellet pellets) or 20% ferric sulfate (Viscostat). Patients were assigned to one of two experimental groups. Blood pressure and pulse rate were recorded pre- and postoperatively and at three additio...
