Department of Biostatistics, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Free State, South Africa.
Background: Postoperative patients' risk for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) can be predicted using the adapted Caprini risk assessment model which informs administration of postoperative VTE prophylaxis. The study aimed to assess the appropriateness of postoperative VTE prophylaxis of patients according to the adapted Caprini scores and investigate whether a patient's HIV status influenced postoperative VTE prophylaxis administration.
Methods: This cohort study included patients who had elective or urgent surgery at a tertiary hospital, Bloemfontein.
Outcomes of surgical patients in a tertiary ICU with incidental COVID-19 in comparison with COVID-19 naïve patients.

Department of Surgery, Tygerberg Hospital, Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
Background: COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, where it spread over a wide geographic area until it reached the status of a pandemic in 2020. We postulated that patients who were diagnosed with incidental COVID-19, and underwent surgery, did not have a worse outcome due to the COVID-19 virus compared to their counterparts who did not have the virus.
Methods: This retrospective study included surgical patients (COVID-19 incidentals and COVID-19 negatives) who were admitted to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) at Tygerberg Academic Hospital between 1 May 2020 and 31 December 2021.

Experimental potentiometric unified pH (pH) scale is presented in 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE). The scale was compiled using differential potentiometric measurements, carried out by pair-wise comparisons between solutions. Aqueous standard buffer solutions were used as anchor points, so that the obtained pH values are linked to (, are traceable to) the conventional aqueous pH scale and are expressed as values.
