Fracture in number of ribs independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism, finds study

Rib fracture in number of ribs independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism suggests a new study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) refers to a condition characterized by abnormal coagulation of blood within the veins, leading to impaired venous flow. Venous thromboembolism represents a potentially life-threatening complication following trauma, […]

Novel Combination Therapy Xanomeline-Trospium Promising for Treatment of Schizophrenia: JAMA
