“…Continuous bleeding caused by severe trauma endangers human life. [ 1 ] Great efforts have been made to develop hemostatic materials to stop bleeding, [ 2 ] such as surgical sutures [ 3 ] and medical glues [ 4 ] to close open wounds, cotton swabs, [ 5 ] sponges, [ 6 ] gauzes, [ 7 ] and powders [ 8 ] to plug the defects, adhesive hydrogels to close and plug the defects [ 9 ] and bandages, and [ 10 ] tourniquets [ 11 ] to limit the blood flow. Among these strategies, adhesive hemostatic hydrogels have made substantial progress due to their superior adhesion onto tissue, [ 12 ] conveniences for functionalization, [ 13 ] mechanical compatibilities to tissue, [ 14 ] and low toxicity.…”

Adhesive hemostatic hydrogels, as one of the most important wound dressings, have attracted tremendous attention because of their unique advantages in injured tissue. Many intensive efforts are devoted to designing ingenious adhesive hemostatic hydrogels based on interfacial interactions with tissue surfaces, such as covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, cation–π interactions, and π–π stacking interactions. Herein, an overview of the recent progress in adhesive hemostatic hydrogels is provided, especially focusing on diverse covalent/noncovalent interfacial interactions between the active groups of adhesive hydrogels and tissue surface. The commonly used forms and the hemostatic evaluation models of the adhesive hydrogels are also summarized. Finally, the critical issues that should be concerned for current adhesive hemostatic hydrogels and the developing directions toward practical applications are discussed.

Diagnosis of thoracic lesions on the basis of history and physical examination is often challenging. Diagnostic imaging is therefore of paramount importance in this field. Radiology has traditionally been considered the diagnostic procedure of choice for these diseases. Nevertheless, it is often not possible to differentiate inflammatory/infectious lesions from neoplastic diseases. A correct cytological and histopathologic diagnosis is therefore needed for an accurate diagnosis and subsequent prognostic and therapeutic approach. In human medicine, Computed Tomography (CT) and CT-guided biopsy are used in the presence of lesions which are not adequately diagnosed with other procedures. In the present study, thoracic lesions from 52 dogs and 10 cats of different sex, breed and size underwent both CT-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNAB) and tissue-core biopsy (TCB). Clinical examination, hematobiochemical analysis and chest radiography were performed on all animals. In this study, 59 of 62 histopathological samples were diagnostic (95.2%). Cytology was diagnostic in 43 of 62 samples (69.4%). General sensitivity, accuracy and PPV for FNAB and TCB were 67.7%, 67.7% and 100% and 96.7%, 95.2% and 98.3%, respectively. Combining the two techniques, the overall mean accuracy for diagnosis was 98.4%. Nineteen of 62 cases showed complications (30.6%). Mild pneumothorax was seen in 16 cases, whereas mild hemorrhage occurred in three cases. No major complications were encountered. CT-guided FNAB cytology can be considered a useful and reliable technique, especially for small lesions or lesions located close to vital organs and therefore dangerous to biopsy in other way.
