Aims: Once it became apparent that COVID-19 would reach Aotearoa New Zealand, perioperative services responded urgently to contain viral spread, keep staff safe and maintain patient care. We aimed to understand how perioperative leaders around the country responded to the pandemic, their experiences, reflections and the lessons learnt. Our goal is to inform future pandemic responses.

- This study examines the effects of aspirin on patients who have had prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are undergoing noncardiac surgery, as there is uncertainty regarding aspirin's role in this context.
- A subgroup analysis of a multicenter trial involving nearly 5000 patients found that aspirin significantly reduced the risk of death or nonfatal heart attacks in those with prior PCI, with an absolute risk reduction of 5.5%.
- However, the impact of aspirin on major bleeding events in this group was unclear, suggesting that while aspirin may provide cardiovascular protection, it could also carry bleeding risks that need further investigation.
The domestic apple (Malus domestica; also known as Malus pumila Mill.) has become a model fruit crop in which to study commercial traits such as disease and pest resistance, grafting, and flavor and health compound biosynthesis. To speed the discovery of genes involved in these traits, develop markers to map genes, and breed new cultivars, we have produced a substantial expressed sequence tag collection from various tissues of apple, focusing on fruit tissues of the cultivar Royal Gala.
