To share clinical data on the efficacy of 4F-PCC in the treatment of major bleeding caused by warfarin, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban. ⋯ Prothrombin complex concentrate can effectively reverse the effects of warfarin and rivaroxaban in patients with major bleeding, but only partially reverses the effect of dabigatran.

Pain was poorly managed among these patients. Special considerations should be obtained to manage these patients' pain and reduce their suffering.

The relationship between the visceral adiposity index and carotid atherosclerosis in different genders and age groups.
To investigate the possible relationship between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and carotid atherosclerosis(CAS) in different genders and age groups in China. ⋯ The relationship between VAI and CAS, with gender and age differences. Visceral adiposity index could be selected as new and simple predictors of CAS for females (>44 years of age) in China.
