AbstractIntroductionThe recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have seen increased use of tourniquets and topical haemostatic agents in the management of battlefield trauma. The aim of this paper is to review the available evidence for their efficacy and continued use.MethodsA systematic review of the medical literature published as a consequence of conflicts in Iraq in Afghanistan was conducted to determine the clinical outcomes from the use of tourniquets and haemostatic agents for haemorrhage control in limb extremity injury.ResultsStudies were retrospective cohort or prospective observational studies by design. None were eligible for meta-analysis and control groups were rarely available for ethical reasons. Despite methodological limitations, tourniquets were shown to save lives if applied prior to the onset of shock or in a pre-hospital setting. Topical haemostatic agents were shown to be useful adjuncts in haemorrhage control with small numbers of complications.ConclusionIn the military setting, tourniquet use in extremity trauma improves survival when used prior to the onset of shock. Topical haemostatic agents provide additional means of haemorrhage control, though further studies to identify the most effective types are necessary. Adequate training and protocols for use must be implemented to prevent complications through use.

Abstract. Backgrounds: Central obesity, as a pivotal component of metabolic syndrome is associated with numerous co-morbidities. Dietary factors influence central obesity by increased inflammatory status. However, recent studies didn’t evaluate the association between central obesity and dietary inflammation index (DII®) that give score to dietary factors according to their inflammatory potential. In the current systematic review and meta-analysis, we summarized the studies that investigated the association between DII® with central obesity indices in the general populations. Methods: In a systematic search from PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Sciences and Cochrane electronic databases, we collected relevant studies written in English and published until 30 October 2019. The population of included studies were apparently healthy subjects or individuals with obesity or obesity-related diseases. Observational studies that evaluated the association between DII® and indices of central obesity including WC or WHR were included. Results: Totally thirty-two studies were included; thirty studies were cross-sectional and two were cohort studies with 103071 participants. Meta-analysis of observational studies showed that higher DII® scores were associated with 1.81 cm increase in WC (Pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) = 1.813; CI: 0.785–2.841; p = 0.001). Also, a non-significant increase in the odds of having higher WC (OR = 1.162; CI: 0.95–1.43; p = 0.154) in the highest DII category was also observed. In subgroup analysis, the continent, dietary assessment tool and gender were the heterogeneity sources. Conclusion: The findings proposed that adherence to diets with high DII® scores was associated with increased WC. Further studies with interventional designs are necessary to elucidate the causality inference between DII® and central obesity indices.
