Article Synopsis
- A study compared two blood transfusion strategies for patients with myocardial infarction and low hemoglobin: a restrictive strategy (transfusion if hemoglobin <7 or 8 g/dL) and a liberal strategy (transfusion if hemoglobin <10 g/dL).
- Involving 3,504 patients, results showed that the liberal group received significantly more transfusions but did not experience a reduced risk of death or recurrent myocardial infarction at 30 days compared to the restrictive group.
- The findings suggest that while the liberal strategy may not improve outcomes, the potential risks of the restrictive strategy remain uncertain, indicating the need for further research.
Background: Perioperative atrial fibrillation (AF) and myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) are common complications after noncardiac surgery. Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of both disorders. The COP-AF trial tests the hypothesis that colchicine reduces the incidence of perioperative AF and MINS in patients undergoing major noncardiac thoracic surgery.

We systematically reviewed the efficacy and safety of liberal versus conservative oxygen therapy in acutely ill adults.
Methods: In the Improving Oxygen Therapy in Acute-illness (IOTA) systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, HealthSTAR, LILACS, PapersFirst, and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry from inception to Oct 25, 2017, for randomised controlled trials comparing liberal and conservative oxygen therapy in acutely ill adults (aged ≥18 years).
Signal and noise transfer in spatiotemporal quantum-based imaging systems.

December 2007
Fourier-based transfer theory is extended into the temporal domain to describe both spatial and temporal noise processes in quantum-based medical imaging systems. Lag is represented as a temporal scatter in which the release of image quanta is delayed according to a probability density function. Expressions describing transfer of the spatiotemporal Wiener noise power spectrum through quantum gain and scatter processes are derived.
