Evidence Suggests Prophylactic Antibiotics May Be Unnecessary in Anorectal Surgery—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Current evidence does not support the routine use of prophylactic antibiotics in uncomplicated anorectal procedures.

In Vitro Hemocompatibility of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart in Continuous and Pulsatile Flow

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
BiVACOR's total artificial heart generates remarkably similar hemocompatibility when operated with a pulse or during continuous flow. Under both conditions, hemolysis and von Willebrand Factor multimers were similar to a commercial reference device after 6 h in vitro evaluation.
