Abstract Background Concurrent myopericarditis and myositis can present in patients with pre-existing systemic inflammatory diseases. Here we a case of associated COVID-19, the absence respiratory symptoms. Case summary We middle-aged female history hypertension previous myopericarditis. The patient was admitted symptoms central chest pain, ECG echocardiographic features Her did not improve, CT thorax suggested possible SARS-CoV-2 infection for which she tested positive, despite no Whilst on...
AbstractA randomised controlled trial in progress for more than five years, with no loss to follow-up (except death), assessed 333 eyes treated by three methods of cataract surgery. They were (A) intracapsular extraction and contact lens usage, (B) implantation an iris supported (Federov I), (C) extracapsular iridocapsular (Binkhorst 2-loop). The purpose the paper is report interim visual results, complications, corneal endothelial cell loss. More groups A (contact lens) C (extracapsular +...
Abstract We describe a case of mitral valve aneurysm associated with concomitant aortic endocarditis. Aneurysms appear as localized saccular bulge the anterior leaflet into left atrium and thus are often misdiagnosed prolapse, myxomatous valve, or atrial myxoma. The presentation management aneurysms subject this report. (J Card Surg 2011;26:284-286)
Abstract This article sets out a summary of standards for departmental accreditation set by the British Society Echocardiography (BSE) Departmental Accreditation Committee. Full are available at www.bsecho.org . The BSE were first national organisation to establish quality framework departments that support practice individual echocardiographers. is an updated version which recognises that, not only should all echocardiographers be individually accredited as competent practice, but also need...
A new method has been investigated to assess numbers of bacteria present on the normal lid and conjunctiva human eye. Counts were obtained for different colonising limits set values, which may allow distinction between colonisation infection. Streptococcus pneumoniae, beta-haemolytic streptococci, haemophili coliform not isolated from eye by this method.

Cardiac pathology contributes to a significant proportion of emergency department (ED) attendances. Many could be managed as urgent outpatients and avoid hospital admission. We evaluated novel rapidaccess general cardiology clinic achieve this, implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. performed retrospective review baseline characteristics, investigations, final diagnoses, 90-day safety (readmission, major adverse cardiovascular events [MACE], mortality) from electronic records conducted...
In reporting this small series of foreign-body injuries to the eye it is emphasized how normal an may appear and yet have a foreign body lurking in its anterior chamber. The patient's account injury be very deceptive x-ray picture must taken if even remotely suspected, particularly hammer mentioned. Prompt diagnosis followed by well executed surgery leads good results these cases.
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction The differential diagnosis in patients with chest pain, a dynamic troponin rise and unobstructed coronary arteries is broad. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can differentiate between the aetiologies myocardial injury UK has low number MR scanners/million people compared to Germany (8.6 v 34.4) resulting poor equity access CMR (1). Our hospital relies on an off-site private health care provider for service....
Abstract All 123 community pharmacies in the Southampton area were telephoned and pharmacist invited to answer questions on management of patients with ophthalmic conditions. Of those approached, 95 per cent (n=117) agreed participate. The mean number seeking advice eye conditions was 14 week. but one stated that they discussed condition patient, 97 (n=114) examined eye. Fifty-one (n=60) did not feel qualified touch or lids while remainder prepared occasion carry out a contact examination....
<h3>Background</h3> The 2020 ESC Taskforce guidelines made a level I recommendation for the use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with suspected myocardial infarction non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). CMR is powerful diagnostic tool that can discriminate between infarction, Takostubo and myocarditis; oedema best seen when MR scan carried out within 14 days initial Troponin positive event normally subsides after 6 weeks. Access to during COVID pandemic year was...
Abstract This study examines the outcome of a period self-medication prior to presentation at an ophthalmic casualty department. One hundred patients who had self-medicated completed questionnaire time presentation. Eleven different products/brands were used in self-medication, most popular being Brolene drops or ointment (n = 55). Forty-five sought advice from community pharmacist, eight nurse and four optometrist. Forty-three taken no professional advice. The was judged by ophthalmologist...
