Where wild zombies feast on those who've been banished for crimes against the state. Where cold, mechanical Ultrons destroy anything that's human. Pity those who get caught between the two, for their deaths won't be fast and painless!

Comparison of aprotinin and tranexamic acid in adult scoliosis correction surgery
Purpose
A retrospective review of consecutive adult patients undergoing scoliosis correction surgery was performed to compare the effects of aprotinin and tranexamic acid in blood conservation and to define a comprehensive blood conservation strategy for such surgery.
Methods
Medical records of all patients who underwent scoliosis correction surgery in this unit between January 2003 and December 2008 were reviewed. The patients were divided into three cohorts: group 1 receiving no antifibrinolytics, group 2 aprotinin and group 3 tranexamic acid. Information was collected regarding number of vertebral levels fused, pre- and post-operative haemoglobin, intra-operative blood loss and peri-operative autologous and allogenic blood transfusion performed.
Results
Aprotinin was used in 28 patients (38%), tranexamic acid in 26 (36%), while 19 (26%) received no antifibrinolytics. 21 patients had anterior surgery, 34 patients had posterior surgery and 18 had combined anterior and posterior procedures. Mean blood loss in the patients who received aprotinin and tranexamic acid was 710 and 738 ml, respectively. This was significantly less than the patients receiving no antifibrinolytics (972 ml,
p
= 0.037). Blood transfusion was required in only two patients undergoing anterior correction surgery.
Conclusion
Aprotinin and tranexamic acid reduce blood loss in adult spinal deformity correction surgery. With aprotinin being unavailable for clinical use, we recommend the use of tranexamic acid along with other blood conservation measures for adult spinal deformity correction surgery.

Get your clients ready for IFRS
Judging from lessons learned from Canadian and European companies, it's not too early to begin preparing for IFRS. Transitioning to IFRS is a major change management project that will likely impact operations and require significant planning and effort. Some of the areas that will be impacted include source data, chart of accounts, group or organizational reporting, and financial analysis. The following recommendations are based on best practices and lessons learned from companies around the world that have already made the transition: 1. Start planning early. 2. Determine the business and operational changes that will need to occur. 3. Coordinate with the tax and treasury departments to make sure everyone is taking tax implications into consideration. 4. Put the right systems and processes in place. 5. Communications will be key. 6. Conduct effective training and get all constituents on board to ensure a successful transition. 7. Bring in outside consulting support, as needed.
