Use of a higher hemoglobin threshold for transfusion in anemic preterm infants does not lower risk for death, neurodevelopmental impairment Source link

It’s a difficult time to be a nurse. It’s an even more difficult time to be a home visiting nurse. This large group of health care providers, who are largely invisible in the media, are poorly paid and more stressed than…

Very low birthweight infants are at a high risk for anemia and often need blood transfusions to survive. Some doctors use a higher level and some use a lower level of red blood cells to order a transfusion. Source link

Researchers in the US have re-analyzed the data on herd immunity from spring 2020 from Europe. Their study shows that the herd immunity threshold is much higher than earlier speculated. Source link

We study one-sided matching problems where $n$ agents have preferences over $m$ objects and each of them need to be assigned to at most one object. Most work on such problems assume that the agents only have ordinal preferences and…
