An Analysis of the Association of Whole Blood Transfusion With the Development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

Objectives: To determine the association of whole blood and other blood products (components, prothrombin complex concentrate, and fibrinogen concentrate) with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) among blood recipients.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database between 2020 and 2021.

Atom-efficient chlorinative dearomatization of naphthol, quinolinol, and isoquinolinol derivatives using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA).

A variety of dearomatized compounds have been prepared in moderate to excellent yields from planar scaffolds using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as an atom-economical chlorinating agent. The method tolerates a broad range of functionalities and can take place in several green and/or sustainable solvents. Twenty-one examples of 1,1-dichlorinated products of dearomatized 2-naphthols and analogous heteroarenes (quinolinols, isoquinolinols, and quinazolinol) are reported along with five examples of monochlorinated dearomatized products.

Preferred labels and language to improve communication about lesions at low risk of progressing to cancer: qualitative interviews with patients and physicians.

Objectives: We explored how to improve communication about low-risk lesions including labels, language and other strategies.

Design: Qualitative description and thematic analysis to examine the transcripts of telephone interviews with patients who had low-risk lesions and physicians; and mapping to Communication Accommodation Theory to interpret themes.

Setting: Canada PARTICIPANTS: 15 patients: 6 (40%) bladder, 5 (33%) prostate and 4 (27%) cervix lesions; and 13 physicians: 7 (54%) cervix, 3 (23%) bladder and 3 (23%) prostate lesions.

Days at home after surgery as a perioperative outcome: scoping review and recommendations for use in health services research.

Background: Days at home after surgery is a promising new patient-centred outcome metric that measures time spent outside of healthcare institutions and mortality. The aim of this scoping review was to synthesize the use of days at home in perioperative research and evaluate how it has been termed, defined, and validated, with a view to inform future use.

Methods: The search was run on MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus on 30 March 2023 to capture all perioperative research where days at home or equivalent was measured.
