Cardiac arrest and its management in emergency
In recent years, significant advances have been made in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints. These advancements have revolutionized the management of RA, providing new hope and improved outcomes for patients. Biologic drugs have emerged as a game-changer in RA treatment. These medications specifically target molecules and pathways involved in the immune response, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes. Biologics have shown remarkable efficacy in reducing inflammation, slowing disease progression, and improving overall joint function. The concept of personalized medicine has gained prominence in RA treatment. Genetic testing and biomarker analysis help identify specific characteristics and disease mechanisms in individual patients. This information enables physicians to tailor treatment strategies, selecting the most appropriate medications and dosages for each person, leading to better outcomes. In cases where joint damage is severe and non-responsive to medical therapy, surgical interventions have also seen advancements. Joint replacement surgeries, such as total hip or knee replacements, have become increasingly sophisticated and durable, relieving pain and restoring mobility for individuals with advanced RA.

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.
