Abstract Aim To improve a general surgical department's adherence to NICE guidelines on transfusion of packed red cells for low haemoglobin by improving knowledge relevant thresholds (70g/L or 80g/L in ACS renal failure requiring chronic transfusion). Method All patients admitted large London teaching hospital under the team 4-month period (2020–2021) were audited using their electronic records...

The average packing density inside proteins is as high as in crystalline solids. Does this mean proteins are well-packed? We go beyond average densities, and look at the full distribution functions of free volumes inside proteins. Using a new and rigorous Delaunay triangulation method for parsing space into empty and filled regions, we introduce formal definitions of interior and surface packin...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), where delayed recognition implies premature mortality, is currently experiencing a globally increasing incidence and high cost to health systems. Data mining allows discovering subtle patterns in CKD indicators contribute an early diagnosis. This work presents the development evaluation of explainable prediction model that would support clinicians diagnosis patient...

Blood viscosity (shear rate 100/s) and its major determinants (packed cell volume, plasma fibrinogen concentration, and plasma viscosity) were measured before coronary angiography in 50 men aged 30-55 and related to the extent of coronary artery disease. Twenty-six men had extensive disease (stenosis of two or three major coronary vessels), and 24 had either stenosis of one vessel or no stenosi...
