This study looks at how changes in atmospheric pressure might affect gastrointestinal bleeding. If you have had bleeding from your stomach or intestines and live in central Ankara, this trial could help doctors understand if weather plays a role.
This study compares two treatments for a nosebleed (epistaxis) that won't stop with simple pressure: tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, versus Blood Stopper (Ankaferd), a plant-based product that also stops bleeding. The goal is to see which works better in the emergency room.
This trial tests whether a powder form of tranexamic acid can stop nosebleeds faster in people who come to the emergency room with active bleeding. It may offer a new option if standard treatments don't work well.
This trial compares two treatments for active nosebleeds: nasal packing (placing material in the nose) and a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near a nerve in the mouth). The goal is to see which works better for nosebleeds that don't stop with simple pressure.
This study compares coblation (a low-temperature method) and bipolar diathermy (a heat method) to stop stubborn nosebleeds in children. It aims to find which treatment works better and is safer.
This study looks at whether changes in atmospheric pressure (the weight of the air) are linked to very high blood pressure emergencies. You may be able to join if you come to the emergency room with a hypertensive crisis but without organ damage.
