Interim results of a study conducted by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) suggest that oral tranexamic acid (TXA) is non-inferior to intravenous (IV) TXA in preventing blood loss in total knee and total hip replacement surgery. These findings were presented at the 2021 Spring American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) Annual Meeting.1
Previously available information suggests that oral, IV and topical TXA are all effective at reducing blood loss and drastically reducing blood transfusion rates during and after surgery, but research with direct comparisons for each method is limited. TXA in orthopedic surgery has become the standard of care. However, the most efficient, efficacious and cost effective method of administration remains unknown, said principal investigator Stavros Memtsoudis, MD, PhD, MBA, an anesthesiologist at HSS. The oral administration of TXA is logistically easier, thus reducing the risk of drug errors in the OR.
At WPI, the task was to fashion a hand prosthetic for a student in need. They built more than that
âTheyâre all so motivated and kind and driven. Not just for the project though. But for me.â

Nearly two years after suffering devastating injuries in a horrific car crash outside of Houston, a Texas college student has rebuilt her life, due in part to three Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) undergraduates and a professor who are developing a partial hand prosthetic to allow her to regain functionality.
The WPI students Mia Buccowich ’22, majoring in biomedical engineering; Brian Fay ’22, majoring in mechanical engineering; and Andy Strauss ’23, majoring in robotics engineering are developing the device for Payton Heiberger, 21, a junior on a pre-med track at the University of Houston, whose dreams of becoming a plastic surgeon were put on hold when she lost two fingers on her left hand in the accident, among other injuries.

Gas stations, homes, and other buildings across Chicago and the suburbs are dealing with the dangers of heavy snow and falling ice.
New surveillance video captures the moment a canopy at a suburban Des Plaines gas station collapsed early Monday morning.
Cameras were rolling at the Pantry N More across the street as the weight of the record snowfall and heavy ice proved to be just too much for the roof.
