Relaxed potassium supplementation (threshold 3.6 mEq/L) post-CABG surgery is noninferior to tight control (4.5 mEq/L) in preventing atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery, potentially reducing costs & patient risks. https://t.co/rPSfoaORbl

By the way, if you want to personally give a helping hand to the Okhmatdyt, the Kyiv children hospital attacked by Russia, you can always send your donation to the institution.

The hospital has its official charity accepting generous aid from people of good hope from around the world.

You can find all info on the hospital's website by the link below.

As I always, I'm gladly donating, too, right now, and I invite you to do a good thing for tonight helping Ukraine under attack.

Others have made this point but QALYs (which the QC gets wrong) are literally how you measure the merit of all public health interventions, whether to approve certain drugs etc. This whole inquiry increasingly feels like arts students being asked to write a science thesis.

21-43% of adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding who are investigated turn out to have some form of coagulation problem. A slightly alarming statistic. @acweyand
