Results of Lower Abdominal Ultrasound as Part of Whole Abdominal Ultrasound in Patients with and without Indications Related to Lower Abdomen.
Conclusion: Most of the results of lower abdominal ultrasound in the patients sent for whole abdominal ultrasound were negative, and the majority of the positive findings were benign conditions requiring no further management. More positive results, especially findings suggestive or suspicious of cancers, were seen in cases with positive clinical data. Routine use of whole abdominal ultrasound does not appear to be very helpful, especially in patients who have no symptoms in the lower abdomen.

Enoxaparin versus No Anticoagulation Prophylaxis after Total Knee Arthroplasty in Thai Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Conclusion: We concluded that the incidence of thromboembolic diseases after primary TKA in Thai patients is very low. Enoxaparin had no significant benefit in reducing venous thromboembolic complications after TKA in Asian patients, however it is safe in term of bleeding complications. We do not recommend routine use of enoxaparin as thromboprophylaxis after TKA in Asian patients.
