Abstract Background Ileus is common after elective colorectal surgery, and associated with increased adverse events prolonged hospital stay. The aim was to assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for reducing ileus surgery. Methods A prospective multicentre cohort study delivered by an international, student- trainee-led collaborative group. Adult patients undergoing resection between January April 2018 were included. primary outcome time gastrointestinal recovery,...
Abstract Background Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features normal bowel recovery the appropriateness for hospital discharge challenging. This study explored safety before return function. Methods A prospective, multicentre cohort was undertaken across international collaborative network. Adult patients undergoing elective resection between January April 2018 were included. The main outcome interest...
"Normal" age-related cognitive decline has been associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Framingham Vascular Age is age-normed which may help communicate to patients and identify those at relatively higher risk. We aim assess the association between cognition. 346 "healthy" participants (57±10 years) without neuropsychiatric disorders or clinical manifestations of disease were studied. Cognition was evaluated using Brief Memory Executive Test calculated. The performance determined...
Family history assessment can identify individuals above population-risk for cancer to enable targeted Screening, Prevention, and Early Detection (SPED). History Questionnaire Service (FHQS) is a resource-efficient patient-facing online tool facilitate this. In the UK, risk usually only offered concerned proactively self-presenting their GP, leading inequity in accessing SPED community.
Cross-sectional survey.Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a common syndrome of acquired spinal cord impairment caused by canal stenosis secondary to arthritic changes the spine. International guidelines consider physiotherapy an option for mild, stable DCM; however, few studies have been conducted on nonoperative management. The objective was determine current usage and perceptions DCM.Persons with DCM were recruited web-based survey. Participants complete responses that had not...
We present a case of cerebellar dysfunction due to severe hypothyroidism induced by pembrolizumab, member the 'immune checkpoint inhibitor' class cancer immunotherapies. Thyroxine replacement completely resolved his symptoms and signs. also discuss neurological immune-related complications inhibitors.
To achieve equity in healthcare, we must move away from platitudes and deliver tangible actions.
Cardiac lipomas are rare benign primary cardiac tumours primarily composed of mature adipocytes. They usually well defined, encapsulated masses, but rarely demonstrate malignant characteristics by infiltrating the myocardium. This causes diagnostic uncertainty as it becomes a priority to rule out such sarcoma which often carry poor prognosis.A 61 year old female presenting with chest pain was found have an right atrial hypertrophic mass. Mutli-disciplinary team (MDT) discussions along...

This review focuses on the role of CytoSorb® (CytoSorbents Corporation, Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, USA), a technology for purifying extracorporeal blood. The is designed several indications to prevent bleeding complications during on-pump cardiac surgery, including removal antiplatelet agent, ticagrelor, and oral anticoagulant, rivaroxaban, from Recent clinical studies are briefly reviewed.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that women in England at above-population risk be offered additional breast screening and, depending on the level of risk, risk-reducing medication or surgery.
Background A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a diseased expansion of the aorta. There morbidity associated with dilated aorta, as well significant mortality. Open surgery fundamental management for proximal lesions, offering definitive treatment excellent results. This study aimed to summarize preoperative data and operative outcomes patients who underwent TAA repair at our institution. Methods Data were retrospectively collected from 234 that elective open University Hospital Southampton...
We report a case of 64-year-old female who first presented with transient ischemic attack in 2007 due to an innominate artery stenosis, which indicated endovascular stent placement. In 2008, she recurrence symptoms and was diagnosed in-stent restenosis alongside unusual occurrence retrograde migration into the ascending aortic arch. performed aorto-innominate bypass through median sternotomy. The patient discharged without any complications thereafter, graft has shown excellent patency. As...
ABSTRACT Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the value leukocyte‐labeled scintigraphy, ultrasonography, and contrast radiography compared with endoscopy in children suspected having inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods Twenty‐eight (17 boys; mean age, 10.2 years) IBD based on standard colonoscopic, histologic, radiologic criteria (16 Crohn's disease, 5 ulcerative colitis, nonspecific 1 granulomatous Behçet's disease) were included. Endoscopic,...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) in assessing Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) morphology. Methods Case notes 408 patients (>18 years old) undergoing elective (AV) surgery over a 2-year period were retrospectively reviewed. valve data collected from preoperative TTE reports and intraoperative records. for identifying AV morphology assessed using findings as gold standard. One-hundred-and-eighty-nine (46.3%)...
