Blood Conservation in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Interim Analysis of the Tranexamic Acid Comparison in Hip Replacement (TeACH-R) Trial

Intravenous tranexamic acid (TEA) is used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) to reduce blood loss. Concern of increased thromboembolic risk has prompted the search for treatment alternatives. The Tranexamic Acid Comparison in Hip Replacement (TeACH-R) trial is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of intravenous and topical TEA in reducing perioperative blood loss. For interim data analysis, 52 of the planned 144 participants had completed the initial phase of the TeACH-R trial. No significant differences were identified between the intravenous and topical TEA treatment arms for delta-hemoglobin (ΔHgb; 34.81±13.78 vs. 35.65±15.54 mg/dL; p=0.840), calculated blood loss (1548±509 vs. 1521±693 mL; p=0.873), or length of stay (55.0±11.44 vs. 54.5±20.1 hours; p=0.912). No participant required a blood transfusion or had a thromboembolic event postoperatively. Promising initial results support the use of topical TEA in THA, although therapeutic decisions should be made only once all data has been analyzed

Discovery of the Widest Very Low Mass Binary

We report the discovery of a very low mass binary system (primary mass <0.1 Msol) with a projected separation of ~5100 AU, more than twice that of the widest previously known system. A spectrum covering the 1-2.5 microns wavelength interval at R ~1700 is presented for each component. Analysis of the spectra indicates spectral types of M6.5V and M8V, and the photometric distance of the system is ~62 pc. Given that previous studies have established that no more than 1% of very low mass binary systems have orbits larger than 20 AU, the existence of such a wide system has a bearing on very low mass star formation and evolution models.Comment: accepted ApJL, 4 page
