William Soutar (1898-1943) was a Scottish poet, but many are unaware of his scholarly work which includes his famous "brain-rhymes". He was born in Perth Scotland in 1898. He was educated at Perth Primary School and Perth Academy and proved to be adept at sport and academics. In 1916, he joined the Royal Navy. In 1918, he had "food poisoning" after which he was hospitalized and developed severe joint pain which became a chronic illness. He had a brief attempt at medical studies at Edinburgh University, but soon switched to the Arts Faculty to study English. Despite various treatments, the joint pain was chronic and disabling. He developed tuberculous lung disease in 1929, and again despite treatments, the problem persisted, and he died in 1943.

Background: Bleeding is common in patients with haematological malignancies undergoing intensive therapy. We aimed to assess the effect of tranexamic acid on preventing bleeding and the need for platelet transfusions.
Methods: TREATT was an international, randomised, double-blind, parallel, phase 3 superiority trial conducted at 27 haematology centres in Australia and the UK.

Article Synopsis
- CoDE-ACS is a machine learning-based clinical decision support tool designed to assess the likelihood of myocardial infarction (MI) using cardiac troponin measurements at various time points.
- A study involving 4,105 patients across multiple countries found that CoDE-ACS effectively identified a high percentage of low-probability cases for MI, surpassing the performance of established guidelines such as the European Society of Cardiology pathways.
- The tool maintained a negative predictive value of 99.7% across different time points, suggesting its accuracy in ruling out MI and its potential to improve diagnostic processes in acute coronary syndrome evaluations.

Article Synopsis
- Fixed cardiac troponin thresholds for diagnosing myocardial infarction can be unreliable due to influences from age, sex, and other factors; thus, researchers developed the CoDE-ACS machine learning model to better assess risk using troponin levels and clinical features.
- The CoDE-ACS score (0-100) effectively predicts the likelihood of myocardial infarction, with a strong area under the curve of 0.953 in its performance.
- By identifying more individuals as low risk for myocardial infarction compared to fixed thresholds, CoDE-ACS could potentially lower hospital admissions and improve patient outcomes, showcasing its effectiveness over traditional methods.
