    Abstract Tranexamic acid (TXA) has proven mortality benefit if used early after traumatic injury, likely related to a combination of bleeding reduction and other non-bleeding effects. If TXA is given more than 3 h after traumatic injury, there is a significant and paradoxical increased risk of death due to bleeding. TXA has level 1 evidence for use as a bleeding reduction agent in isolated orthopedic operations, but in polytrauma patients undergoing orthopedic operations, it is not clear if and when TXA is safe or effective once outside the 3-h window of proven trauma efficacy.

    Abstract Understanding the effectiveness of conservation interventions during times of political instability is important given how much of the world's biodiversity is concentrated in politically fragile nations. Here, we investigate the effect of a political crisis on the relative performance of community managed forests versus protected areas in terms of reducing deforestation in Madagascar, a biodiversity hotspot. We use remotely sensed data and statistical matching within an event study design to isolate the effect of the crisis and post-crisis period on performance. Annual rates of deforestation accelerated at the end of the crisis and were higher in community forests than in protected areas. After controlling for differences in location and other confounding variables, we find no difference in performance during the crisis, but community-managed forests performed worse in post-crisis years. These findings suggest that, as a political crisis subsides and deforestation pressures intensify, community-based conservation may be less resilient than state protection.

    Abstract Background: Conventional rapid-thrombelastography (rTEG) cannot differentiate fibrinolysis shutdown from hypofibrinolysis, as both of these patient populations have low fibrinolytic activity. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) TEG can identify depletion of fibrinolytic inhibitors, and its use in combination with rTEG has the potential to differentiate all three pathologic fibrinolytic phenotypes following trauma. We hypothesize tPA-TEG and rapid TEG (rTEG) in combination can further stratify fibrinolysis phenotypes post-injury to better stratify risk for mortality.
    Study design: Adult trauma patients (n=981) with both rTEG and tPA-TEG performed <2 hours post-injury were included. rTEG LY30 was used to initially define fibrinolysis phenotypes (Hyperfibrinolysis >3%, Physiologic 0.9-3%, Shutdown <0.9%), with Youden Index then used to define pathologic extremes of tPA-TEG LY30 [tPA sensitive (depletion of fibrinolytic inhibitors) versus resistant] resulting in 9 groups that were assessed for risk of death.
    Results: The median NISS was 22, 21% were female, 45% had penetrating injury, and overall mortality was 13%. The tPA-TEG LY30 inflection point for increased mortality was>35.5% (tPA sensitive, OR mortality 9.2 P<0.001) and <0.3% (tPA resistance, OR mortality 6.3 p=0.04). Of the nine potential fibrinolytic phenotypes, five were associated with increased mortality. Overall, the 9 phenotypes provided a significantly better prediction of mortality than rTEG or tPA-TEG alone (AUROC=0.80 vs 0.63 and 0.75, respectively, p<0.0001). These could be condensed to three pathologic phenotypes (true hyperfibrinolysis, early fibrinolysis shutdown, and hypofibrinolysis).
    Conclusions: The combination of rTEG and tPA-TEG increases the ability to predict mortality and suggests patient specific strategies for improved outcome.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented stresses on modern medical systems, overwhelming the resource infrastructure in numerous countries while presenting a unique series of pathophysiologic clinical findings. Thrombotic coagulopathy is common in critically ill patients suffering from COVID-19, with associated high rates of respiratory failure requiring prolonged periods of mechanical ventilation. Here we report a case series of five patients suffering from profound, medically refractory COVID-19 associated respiratory failure who were treated with fibrinolytic therapy using tissue plasminogen activator (tPA, Alteplase). All five patients appeared to have an improved respiratory status following tPA administration: one patient had an initial marked improvement that partially regressed after several hours, one patient had transient improvements that were not sustained, and three patients had sustained clinical improvements following tPA administration.
