Early Diagnosis in Diabetic Retinopathy
Early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy is crucial in preventing vision loss and managing the disease effectively. Regular eye screenings help detect retinal damage at an initial stage before symptoms appear. Timely intervention through lifestyle modifications, blood sugar control, and medical treatments can slow disease progression. Advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography aid in accurate and early detection. Raising awareness about routine eye check-ups among diabetic patients is key to reducing blindness caused by this condition.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
