Obtaining rapid and effective hemostasis: Part I. Update and review of topical hemostatic agents
Effective and rapid hemostasis is critical to optimize surgical outcomes. An advantageous adjunct in accelerating the clotting process during dermatologic surgery is the use of topical hemostatic agents, which allow dermatologic surgeons to quickly clear the surgical field while avoiding the adverse effects of systemic medications. The growing rate of patients with pacemakers and defibrillators limits the possibility of electrosurgery. It is not unusual for patients to be taking ≥1 anticoagulant medication(s). For these reasons, the use of topical hemostatic agents is likely to gain more recognition in the literature. Th...

Estimating Health Care Cost Savings from an Educational Intervention to Prevent Bleeding‐Related Complications: The Outcomes Impact Analysis Model
DiscussionOur economic model demonstrates that application of CME‐related learning to prevent bleeding complications may yield substantial cost savings. Model prediction of averted costs associated with CME allows estimation of the economic impact on outcomes in the absence of patient‐level outcomes data related to CME activities.

Dr. William Waugh (1851-1936): promoter of change in nineteenth century medical education and practice.
Abstract
SUMMARY: Dr. William E. Waugh (1851-1936) witnessed and actively participated in many changes in medical education and practice during his 6 decades in medicine. Trained as a surgeon and general practitioner, Waugh practised medicine in London, Ont., during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Early in his career, he embraced the new field of microbiology; refused outdated practices, such as bleeding; and dared to form a medical school despite strong criticism. Waugh was one of the founders of the Western University medical school, and he served various teaching and administrative roles in a...

Medical Diagnostic Device Employs Wireless Signals To Identify Brain Swelling Or Bleeding
New technology developed at the University of California, Berkeley, is using wireless signals to provide real-time, non-invasive diagnoses of brain swelling or bleeding. The device analyzes data from low energy, electromagnetic waves, similar to the kind used to transmit radio and mobile signals. The technology, described in the May 14 issue of the journal PLOS ONE, could potentially become a cost-effective tool for medical diagnostics and to triage injuries in areas where access to medical care, especially medical imaging, is limited...
