Carcinoma of Unknown Primary (CUP) in a patient presenting with lower back pain: An Important Clinical Lesson
(2020-09)Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 33-year-old female, diagnosed with CUP, after presenting with gradual onset worsening lower back pain. ... -
Achilles Tendon Rupture: Can the Tendon Gap on Ultrasound Scan Predict the Outcome of Functional Rehabilitation Program?
(2020-09)Background and objectives: There is a growing use of functional rehabilitation programs for the treatment of Achilles tendon rupture. Factors such as patient age and level of activity have been used to guide the decision. ... -
High magnesium dialysate does not improve intradialytic hemodynamics or abrogate myocardial stunning.
(2020-08)BACKGROUND: Hemodialysis (HD) induces myocardial stunning and is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Intradialytic hypotension is a modifiable determinant of myocardial stunning. Magnesium (Mg) is reported to ... -
Covid-19: face masks can be devastating for people with hearing loss but alternatives are available.
(2020-08)Chodosh and colleagues and Grote and Izagaren highlight an important matter but overlook the use of face shields, hoods, and other clear barriers that decrease disease transmission, facilitate lip reading, and reduce ... -
Post traumatic septic arthritis of the elbow and osteomyelitis of the distal radius in a 12-year-old child
(2020)Septic arthritis and Osteomyelitis are important conditions that must be excluded in a child presenting with musculoskeletal pain. A delay in diagnosing such conditions may result in significant morbidity and mortality. ... -
A predictive model for creep deformation following vertebral compression fractures
(2020-08)Many vertebral compression fractures continue to collapse over time, resulting in spinal deformity and chronic back pain. Currently, there is no adequate screening strategy to identify patients at risk of progressive ... -
A multicentre cross-sectional observational study of cancer multidisciplinary teams: Analysis of team decision making.
(2020-08)BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary teams (MDT) formulate expert informed treatment recommendations for people with cancer. We set out to examine how the factors proposed by the functional perspective of group decision making ... -
Volar locking plate: Age related outcomes and complications
(2020-07)Background: There is no unanimity for the treatment of distal radius fractures in older people. The purpose of our study is to assess the efficacy of volar locking plate for the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures ... -
Seasonal variation in trauma admissions to a level III trauma unit over 10 years
(2020-07)Introduction: Major trauma centres have improved morbidity and mortality for moderate and severely injured patients. Less injured patients may be treated in facilities less resourced for trauma care. In these units, ... -
Novel technique using surgical scrub sponges to protect the nose and face during prone ventilation for coronavirus disease 2019.
(2020-07)Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 is an international pandemic. One of the features is acute respiratory distress syndrome, and proning has been identified as beneficial for a subset of patients. However, proning is ... -
Patients' attitudes towards cost feedback to doctors to prevent unnecessary testing: a qualitative focus group study
(2020-07)OBJECTIVES: There is a need to improve efficiency in healthcare delivery without compromising quality of care. One approach is the development and evaluation of behavioural strategies to reduce unnecessary use of common ... -
Glucagon-like peptide 1 infusions overcome anabolic resistance to feeding in older human muscle.
(2020-08)BACKGROUND: Despite its known insulin-independent effects, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) role in muscle protein turnover has not been explored under fed-state conditions or in the context of older age, when declines in ... -
Post-stroke dysphagia: A review and design considerations for future trials
(2016-06)Post-stroke dysphagia (a difficulty in swallowing after a stroke) is a common and expensive complication of acute stroke and is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and institutionalization due in part to ... -
DIY artificial pancreas systems: the clinician perspective.
(2020-03)We are witnessing a technological revolution in type 1 diabetes, with a race to bring commercial closed-loop (artificial pancreas) systems to market. However, only one automated insulin-delivery system, the Medtronic MiniMed ... -
Experiences of using vedolizumab in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in the East Midlands UK - a retrospective observational study.
(2020-07)PURPOSE: Clinical trials have demonstrated efficacy of vedolizumab in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Further real-world data is needed to inform clinical practice. The primary outcome was to assess ... -
The association of skin autofluorescence with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in persons with chronic kidney disease stage 3: A prospective cohort study.
(2020-07)BACKGROUND: Tissue advanced glycation end product (AGE) accumulation has been proposed as a marker of cumulative metabolic stress that can be assessed noninvasively by measurement of skin autofluorescence (SAF). In persons ... -
European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) Colorectal Robotic Surgery Training for the Trainers (TTT) Course - the first pilot experience.
(2020-07)AIM: Currently there is no established colorectal specific robotic surgery Train the Trainer (TTT) Course. The aim was to develop and evaluate such a course which can then be further developed to be incorporated within ... -
European expert consensus on a structured approach to training robotic-assisted low anterior resection using performance metrics.
(2020-07)AIM: To develop and operationally define 'performance metrics' that characterise a reference approach to robotic-assisted low anterior resection (RA-LAR), and to obtain face and content validity through a consensus ...
