  1. NSAIDs Linked to Leaks After GI Surgery. Postoperative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use was associated with anastomotic leak after nonelective colorectal surgery.
  2. More Nurses May Mean Fewer Deaths in ICU. A high nurse to patient ratio in intensive care units was independently associated with a lower risk of in-hospital death, according to results from a study involving more than a thousand ICUs in 75 countries.
