Early posttraumatic brain injury tranexamic acid prevents blood-brain barrier hyperpermeability and improves surrogates of neuroclinical recovery.

Surgeons from Penn Trauma and Neurosurgery hypothesized that administration of the antifibrinolytic TXA early (1 hour post-TBI), blunts penumbral, blood-brain barrier (BBB) leukocyte-endothelial cell (LEU-EC) interactions and microvascular permeability, in vivo when compared with late administration (24 hours post-TBI).

To enhance decision-making in emergency general surgery, Penn Trauma researchers conducted a large (507,677 patients) retrospective study to compare operative versus nonoperative management of emergency general surgery conditions (including colorectal, upper GI, and hepatopancreaticobiliary conditions) on short- and long-term outcomes using instrumental variable analysis to minimize selection bias.
