There are five principal causes for excessive bleeding in the immediate postextraction phase ; (1) Vascular wall alteration (wound infection, scurvy, chemicals, allergy) (2) Disorders of platelet function (genetic defect, drug-aspirin, autoimmune disease) (3) Thrombocytopenic purpuras (radiation, leukemia), (4) Inherited disorders of coagulation (hemophilia, Christmas disease, vitamin deficiency, anticoagulation drug-heparin, coumarin). If the hemorrhage from postextraction wound is unusually aggressive, and then dehydration and airway problem are occurred, the socket must be packed with gelatine sponge(Gelfoam) that was moistened with thrombin and wound closure & pressure dressing are applied. The thrombin clots fibrinogen to produce rapid hemostasis. Gelatine sponges moistened with thrombin provide effective coagulation of hemorrhage from small veins and capillaries. But, in dental alveoli, gelatine sponges may absorb oral microorganisms and cause alveolar osteitis (infection). This is a case report of bleeding control by continuous rubber strip & iodoform gauze drainage (without gelfoam packing) of active bleeding infection sites of three teeth extraction wounds in a 46-years-old female patient with advanced liver cirrhosis.

Background : Bronchoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool, for accurate localization of the bleeding site and the management of hemoptysis. However, there is some controversy about the optimal timing of bronchoscopy. Method : To determine the optimal timing of bronchoscopy in hemoptysis, we reviewed the medical records of 118 patients and analyzed the following relationships amongst simple chest PA findings, namely, the duration and amount of hemoptysis, and the timing of bronchoscopy retrospectively. Results : The major causes of hemoptysis were active tuberculosis(28.8%), inactive tuberculosis(10.2%), bronchiectasis(17.0%), lung cancer(7.6%), and aspergilloma(7.6%). Localization of the bleeding focus by bronchoscopy was possible in 87.5% (21/24 cases) during active bleeding, and it was possible in 40.4% after bleeding had stopped(p<0.05). The localization rate of bleeding focus was 59.8% when the chest PA showed certain abnormalities, but it decreased to 27.8% when the chest PA finding was normal(p<0.05). When chest PA showed diffuse abnormalities or its finding was normal, the localization rate of bleeding focus significantly increased if bronchoscopy was performed during bleeding or within 48 hours of the cessation of active bleeding. The localization rate was higher as the amount of hemoptysis became larger(p<0.05). The localization rate of early bronchoscopy(during bleeding or within 48 hours of the cessation of active bleeding) was significantly higher when the duration of hemoptysis was less than 1 week, but there was no advantage if the duration was 1 week or longer. Early bronchoscopy was also necessary to localize the bleeding focus for surgical resection in 4 patients, and the bronchoscopy itself was therapeutic in 1 patient whose bleeding was successfully managed with thrombin-application via bronchoscope. Conclusion : It is concluded that flexible bronchoscopy is useful at not only localizing the bleeding focus but also in preparing a therapeutic plan, and early bronchoscopy is more favorable in hemoptysis.

This is a rare case of a 73-year-old male patient who presented with hematochezia and was treated using transcatheter arterial embolization following upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the third portion of the duodenum. The cause of the bleeding was not found on gastrointestinal endoscopy and CT. On the third day of hospitalization, the hemoglobin level continued to decrease. A technetium-99m-labeled red blood cell scan revealed suspicious bleeding in the diverticulum of the third portion of the duodenum. Superior mesenteric artery angiography showed active bleeding from the posteroinferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, which was embolized with N-butyl cyanoacrylate. The patient was discharged on the seventh day after embolization without re-bleeding or complication. We report a rare case of a patient with active bleeding from a duodenal diverticulum that was difficult to diagnose using routine modalities. Herein, we report a rare case of a patient with active bleeding from a duodenal diverticulum that was difficult to diagnose using routine modalities. We also conducted a relavant literature review.

Antiplatelet agent is administered to the patients who have ischemic heart disease, transient cerebral infarction, as well as hypertension, etc. Antiplatelet agent prevents thromboembolism by inhibition of platelet aggregation by various mechanism. Due to that reason, patient who administered antiplatelet agent has bleeding tendency. Surgeon does not want to make a complication by bleeding during and after operation, and want to stop taking antiplatelet agent. However, It is very dangerous for the patient to stop antiplatelet agent. Local bleeding as a complication after operation is considered minor one, whereas thromboembolism is life threatening serious complication. Most dental intervention can be performed without withdrawal of antiplatelet agent. Dental intervention should be limited area, and surgeon should do active bleeding control.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate postoperative patient satisfaction, vaginal bleeding, and sexual function in women after laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using a questionnaire mailed to 131 women who underwent LSH between 2008 and 2011at the Department of Obstetrics &Gynecology, D University Hospital in Chungnam province. Indication for LSH was uterine myoma. The questionnaire contained questions on overall postoperative satisfaction, influence on quality of life of vaginal bleeding, and sexual satisfaction following surgery. Data were collected from March to July 2013 and 109 (83.2%) patients returned the questionnaire. Results: Most women reported being very satisfied (90.8%) or satisfied (7.3%), but 2 women (1.8%) were not satisfied with LSH. Four patients (3.4%) reported experiencing vaginal bleeding but with no negative influence on quality of life. Of sexually active women, 82 patients (90.1%) reported improvements in sexual function, 8 patients (8.8%) reported "no change", and one patient (1.1%) reported a deterioration Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that LSH is associated with a high degree of patient satisfaction, no negative influence on quality of life from vaginal bleeding, and improvement in sexual function to a minimum 2 years after the procedure.

Extraction of all nonrestorable teeth prior to bone marrow transplantation is the major dental management of the patient being prepared for the transplantation. But, there are four principal causes for excessive bleeding in the immediate postextraction phase ; (1) Vascular wall alteration (wound infection, scurvy, chemicals, allergy) (2) Disorders of platelet function (3) Thrombocytopenic purpuras (4) Disorders of coagulation (liver disease, anticoagulation drug-heparin, coumarin, aspirin, plavix) If the hemorrhage from postextraction wound is unusually aggressive, the socket must be packed with local hemostatic agent and wound closure & pressure dressing are applied. But, in dental alveoli, local hemostatic agent (gelfoam, surgcel etc) may absorb oral microorganisms and cause alveolar osteitis (infection). This is a case report of bleeding and infection control by suture, pressure packing and iodoform gauze drainage on infected active bleeding extraction socket under sedation and local anesthesia in a 57-years-old multiple disabled patient with anticoagulation drug.

In traditional Chinese medicine, some herbs are used after toasting or roasting. The process is called "Zhi Tan" in Chinese, which means charring, and the herbs after the treatment is called carbon medicine. Carbon medicine is widely used to arrest bleeding in traditional Chinese medicine. The paper introduces the records, development and applications of carbon medicine in ancient China. The earliest record found about carbon medicine was in the remains of Han dynasty (BC206-A.D.8). The paper also introduces the process of charring herbs and mechanism of carbon medicine in arresting bleeding. Calcium iron and tan released during the charring are believed as main factors for arresting bleeding, helped with porous surface structure of active carbon.

The common local causes of active gingival bleeding are the vessel engorgement and erosion by severe inflammation and injury to hypervascularity lesion. Abnormal gingival bleeding is also associated with systemic bleeding disorders (liver disease, leukemia etc.). There are many conventional methods for gingival bleeding control, such as, direct pressure, packing, electrocoagulation, tight suture and application of hemostatic agents. If the continuous gingival bleeding is not stopped in spite of the all local application methods, the medical consultation should be obtained for systemic condition care and the major feeding arterial embolization. This is a case report of severe gingival bleeding and periodontitis control in a patient with liver cirrhosis and oral metastatic lesion of hepatocellular carcinoma. The bleeding lesion was placed in left buccal mucosa and gingiva of the left mandibular molars. The control methods were dental crown removal, primary endodontic drainage, gingival sulcus drainage and maxillary arterial embolization with medical consultation.

A 2.45GHz double-balanced modified Gilbert-type CMOS up-conversion mixer design is introduced, where the PMOS current-reuse bleeding technique is demonstrated to be efficient in improving conversion gain, linearity, and noise performance. An LO buffer is included in the mixer design to perform single-ended to differential conversion of the LO signal on chip. Simulation results of the design based on careful modeling of all active and passive components are examined to explain in detail about the characteristic improvement and degradation provided by the proposed design. Two kinds of chips were fabricated using a standard $0.35\mu\textrm$ CMOS process, one of which is the mixer chip without the LO buffer and the other is the one with it. The measured characteristics of the fabricated chips are quite excellent in terms of conversion gain, linearity, and noise, and they are in close match to the simulation results, which demonstrates the adequacy of the modeling approach based on the macro models for all the active and passive devices used in the design. Above all the benefits provided by the current-reuse bleeding technique, the improvement in noise performance seems most valuable.
