Experiments were conducted in an UK inter-city train carriage with the aim of evaluating the risk of infection to the SARS-CoV-2 virus via airborne transmission. The experiments included in-service CO measurements and the measurement of salt aerosol concentrations released within the carriage. Computational fluid dynamics simulations of the carriage airflow were also used to visualise the airflow patterns, and the efficacy of the HVAC filter material was tested in a laboratory.

- An increasing reliance on a clinical decision support system (CDSS) has shown potential to reduce unnecessary RBC transfusions in patients with hematologic diseases by improving compliance with recommended transfusion guidelines.
- The study tracked transfusions over three periods: before the CDSS was implemented, right after, and seven months later, analyzing the impact on compliance and patient outcomes.
- Results indicated a significant decrease in noncompliance for RBC transfusions, and while there was some improvement for PLT transfusions, it wasn't statistically significant, suggesting that educational support is crucial for effective guideline adherence.
