Blood transfusion is a complex activity in healthcare, constitutes an important part of various treatment protocols. Thus the indications for ordering blood must be fully justified to avoid over or misusage of this resource. In a 5 year retrospective study, details of patient’s diagnosis and indications for transfusion are correlated with whole blood and components transfused from the blood bank data base in SAQR Hospital, in Ras Al Khaimah UAE. It was found that 7,045 blood units which were transfused, maximum blood was supplied to surgical wards; most common indications for transfusion were injuries during road traffic accidents, orthopedic surgeries and cardiovascular surgeries. Nearly half (52%) of all blood was given to female recipients. UAE nationals received the maximum units of blood; most prevalent blood group among blood transfusion recipients was O +ve. Major usage of blood products transfused were packed RBC’s. The study concludes that regular assessment of blood component usage followed by academic sessions for clinicians is recommended for effective and efficient use of available blood to patients in a life-threatening situation.
Eurasian Forum Slides "The Modern Understanding of Statins from the Intervent...Alexander Kharlamov
These slides were presented at the Eurasian Forum "Medicine, Pharmacy and Public Health" on October 8-9th 2015 in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The report reviews the concerns of the cardiovascular burden exposing critical national risk factors and extremely high mortality rates with the special focus on atherosclerosis, statin drugs and emerging options of interventional cardiology in Russia. The role of blood cholesterol levels in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the true effect of lipid-lowering therapy are debatable. In particular, whether statins actually decrease cardiac mortality and increase life expectancy is controversial. The statins have gone on to become a multi-billion dollar industry, but the expectation that CVD could be prevented or eliminated by simply reducing cholesterol appears unfounded. More recently, intracoronary imaging modalities have enabled detailed in vivo quantification and characterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaque, serial evaluation of atherosclerotic changes over time, and assessment of vascular responses to effective anti-atherosclerotic medications with a target to achieve atheroregression within Glagov phenomenon. The intensive lipid lowering can halt plaque progression and may even result in regression of coronary atheroma, but results remain very modest and controversial. Statins reduce fibrous tissue and amount of intramural lipids, but with very slight effect on necrotic core and detrimental accelerated calcium deposition. New generations of the lipid-lowering drugs and nanotechnologies amid the revolution in theranostics of atherosclerosis grant us with a hope to achieve atheroregression below 40% Glagovian threshold.

Impact of statins and beta-blocker therapy on mortality after coronary artery...Paul Schoenhagen
Abstract
Background: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients after first-time isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and assessed the impact of a discharge regimen including beta-blockers and statin therapy and their relationship to long-term all cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Methods: We identified patients age >18 years, undergoing first time isolated CABG from 1993 to 2005. Patients were identified using the Cardiovascular Information Registry (CVIR). We collected follow-up information at 30, 60, 90 days and yearly follow-up. The registry is approved for use in research by the institutional review broad.
Results: We identified 5,205 patients who underwent single isolated CABG between January 1993 and December 2005. The mean age was 64.5±9.7 years and over 70% were male. There was a significant difference in the low density lipoproteins (LDL) concentration between those with or without statin medications (134±41.9 mg/dL) (no statin) vs. 126±44.8 mg/dL (with statin), P=0.001. A discharge regimen with statin therapy was associated with and overall reduction in 30 day, 1 year and long-term mortality. In addition, overall the triple ischemic endpoint of death, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke was also significantly lower in the statin vs. no-statin group. In addition, statin and beta-blockers exerted synergistic effect on overall mortality outcomes short-term and in the long-term. We note that the predictors of overall death include no therapy with statin therapy and age [hazard ratios (HR) 1.1, 95% CI: 1.04-1.078, P<0.001] and presence of renal failure (HR 2.0, P=0.005). The estimated 11-year Kaplan Meier curves for mortality between the two groups starts to diverge immediately post discharge after single isolated CABG and continue to diverge through out the follow-up period.
Conclusions: A post-discharge regimen of statins independently reduces overall and 1 year mortality. These results confirm those of earlier studies within a contemporary surgical population and support the current clinical guidelines.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

IMPORTANCE All intravenous (IV) iron products are associated with anaphylaxis, but the
comparative safety of each product has not been well established.
OBJECTIVE To compare the risk of anaphylaxis among marketed IV iron products.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective new user cohort study of IV iron
recipients (n = 688 183) enrolled in the US fee-for-service Medicare program from January
2003 to December 2013. Analyses involving ferumoxytol were limited to the period
January 2010 to December 2013.
EXPOSURES Administrations of IV iron dextran, gluconate, sucrose, or ferumoxytol as
reported in outpatient Medicare claims data.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Anaphylaxiswas identified using a prespecified and
validated algorithm defined with standard diagnosis and procedure codes and applied to
both inpatient and outpatient Medicare claims. The absolute and relative risks of anaphylaxis
were estimated, adjusting for imbalances among treatment groups.
RESULTS A total of 274 anaphylaxis cases were identified at first exposure, with an additional
170 incident anaphylaxis cases identified during subsequent IV iron administrations. The risk
for anaphylaxis at first exposure was 68 per 100 000 persons for iron dextran (95%CI,
57.8-78.7 per 100 000) and 24 per 100 000 persons for all nondextran IV iron products
combined (iron sucrose, gluconate, and ferumoxytol) (95%CI, 20.0-29.5 per 100 000) , with
an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.6 (95%CI, 2.0-3.3; P &lt; .001). At first exposure, when
compared with iron sucrose, the adjusted OR of anaphylaxis for iron dextran was 3.6 (95%CI,
2.4-5.4); for iron gluconate, 2.0 (95%CI 1.2, 3.5); and for ferumoxytol, 2.2 (95%CI, 1.1-4.3).
The estimated cumulative anaphylaxis risk following total iron repletion of 1000mg
administered within a 12-week period was highest with iron dextran (82 per 100 000
persons, 95%CI, 70.5- 93.1) and lowest with iron sucrose (21 per 100 000 persons, 95%CI,
15.3- 26.4).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among patients in the US Medicare nondialysis population
with first exposure to IV iron, the risk of anaphylaxis was highest for iron dextran and lowest
for iron sucrose.
