Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to explore how therapeutic phlebotomy (bloodletting) affects blood pressure in patients with grade 1 hypertension who are not on medication, comparing results between an intervention group and a control group over 8 weeks.
  • - Results showed that while the intervention group had a slight decrease in mean arterial pressure (-1.12 mmHg), the control group experienced a slight increase (0.43 mmHg), suggesting minimal overall impact of phlebotomy on blood pressure.
  • - Although some patients in the intervention group experienced mild adverse events like dizziness and anemia, there were no serious complications, indicating that the procedure is generally safe but may require more in-depth clinical trials for conclusive results.

We present a possible observing scenario for the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We determine the expected sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals, and study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source. We report our findings for gravitational-wave transients, with particular focus on gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary neutron-star systems, which are considered the most promising for multi-messenger astronomy.
