Background and Purpose Interventions to reduce the risk for cerebrovascular events (CVE; stroke transient ischemic attack [TIA]) after radiotherapy (RT) head neck cancer (HNCA) are needed. Among broad populations, statins CVEs; however, whether CVEs RT HNCA is unclear. Therefore, we aimed test incidental statin use at time of associated with a lower rate HNCA. Methods From an institutional database identified all consecutive subjects treated from 2002 2012 Data collection event adjudication...
Background— Data from broad populations have established associations between incidental carotid plaque and vascular events. Among people living with HIV (PLWHIV), the risk of events is increased; however, whether increased there an association plaque, characteristics, among PLWHIV unclear. Methods Results— multi-institutional Research Patient Registry were used. Presence characteristics (high-risk including spotty calcification low attenuation) by computerized tomography without known...
Background The initial operation of choice in many patients presenting as an emergency with ulcerative colitis is a subtotal colectomy end ileostomy. A percentage do not proceed to completion proctectomy ileal pouch anal anastomosis. Aim To review the existing literature relation significant long-term complic-ations associated rectal stump, provide overview options for surgical management remnant rectum and canal form consolidated guideline on endoscopic screening recommendations this...
Heart Failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are morbid diseases that often coexist. In patients with coexisting disease, COPD is an independent risk factor for readmission mortality. However, spirometry inaccurate in those active heart failure. Therefore, we investigated the association between presence of emphysema on computed tomography (CT) rates smokers admitted failure (HF). The cohort included a consecutive group discharged HF from tertiary center January 1,...
Many orthopaedic units measure hemoglobin (Hb) levels after primary joint arthroplasty to identify patients with postoperative anemia. With the refinement of surgical techniques, blood loss in has decreased. The aim this study was investigate Hb monitoring and transfusion practices our own institution elective hip or knee arthroplasty.We conducted a retrospective audit all who underwent total Galway University Hospital between March 1 June 1, 2019. We recorded when they testing, whether not...
Abstract Background The World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic on the 11 March 2020 resulting in implementation of methods to contain viral spread, including curtailment all elective and non-emergent interventions. Many institutions have experienced changes rostering practices redeployment trainees non-surgical services. Examinations, study days, courses, conferences been cancelled. These potential significantly impact education training surgical trainees. Aim To investigate...
Ankle fractures account for 10% of all presenting fractures, with research quoting the involvement posterior malleolus in around 7% cases. Trimalleolar are estimated to have greater long-term complications due significant disruption articular surface joint and reduced weight-bearing potential associated this. Despite well-documented role ankle its fixation is often a matter debate. One barrier this need an additional surgical incision. Our study compared two approaches trimalleolar fracture...
Background: Haemoglobin (Hb) levels are measured in the early postoperative phase following primary joint arthroplasty to identify patients with anemia requiring transfusion. With refinement of surgical techniques, overall blood loss has decreased. We aim investigate monitoring and transfusion practices our own institution.
Background: The World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic on the 11th March 2020 resulting in implementation of methods to contain viral spread, including curtailment all elective and non- emergent interventions. During initial lockdown phase, many institutions experienced changes rostering practices redeployment trainees non-surgical services, surgical initially reduction operative exposure. We aim assess whether or not training opportunities have returned pre levels.Methods:...
