Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Perioperative Transfusion Trigger Score Versus Restrictive Transfusion in Older Non‐Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesJournal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Restrictive transfusion (Hb < 7 g/dL) is recommended for most perioperative patients, but the optimal threshold for those with cardiovascular disease or Hb 7–10 g/dL remains uncertain.
