With the increase in shift pattern work for junior doctors NHS, accurate handover of patient clinical information is great importance. There no published method that forms gold standard and there are large variations practice. This study aims to compare reliability three different methods.We observed 12 simulated patients over five consecutive cycles between SHOs on a one-to-one basis. Three styles were used numerical scoring system assessed lost per cycle.After cycles, only 2.5% was...
<h3>Background</h3> The clinical severity of disease in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is variable. Patients affected with a constitutional truncating <i>NF2</i> mutation have severe disease, while missense mutations or mosaic present milder attenuated phenotype. Genotype-derived natural history data are important to inform discussions on prognosis and management. <h3>Methods</h3> We assessed NF2 phenotype 142 patients relation the UK Genetic Severity Score validate its use as research...
Abstract Background Radiation treatment of benign tumors in tumor predisposition syndromes is controversial, but short-term studies from centers suggest safety despite apparent radiation-associated malignancy being reported. We determined whether radiation NF2-related schwannomatosis patients associated with increased rates subsequent (M)/malignant progression (MP). Methods All UK NF2 were eligible if they had a clinical/molecular diagnosis. Cases treated for tumors. Controls matched...
Aims: Macroscopic "gross total resection" was the traditional goal for patients undergoing resection of vestibular schwannoma. There has been a shift toward "subtotal" in an attempt to mitigate risk cranial nerve injury, reserving radiotherapy and/or revision surgery growing residual tumors. The decision subtotal versus may be made preoperatively. Additionally, "near-total" acknowledged as microscopic disease, which is often intraoperatively when encountered. In recent years, some centers...
Accurate and precise measurement of vestibular schwannoma (VS) size is key to clinical management decisions. Linear measurements are used in routine practice but prone error. This study aims compare a semi-automated volume segmentation tool against standard linear method for measuring small VS. also examines whether oblique tumour orientation can contribute Experimental comparison observer agreement using two techniques. Tertiary skull base unit. Twenty-four patients with unilateral sporadic...
Abstract Objectives: To measure the thermal properties of operative endoscopes used in otorhinolaryngological practice. Methods: A series varying diameters and angulations were attached to a light source temperature measurements taken their shaft tip; measurement was also 5 mm front endoscope tip. Results: Temperature changes took place rapidly. The amount heat produced by maximal at tip, with larger diameter attaining higher temperature. Temperatures on tip reached relatively constant...
