The aims of this study were to develop an automatic system capable calculating four radiological measurements used in the diagnosis and monitoring cerebral palsy (CP)-related hip disease, demonstrate that these are sufficiently accurate be clinical practice.
Metal sensitivity is a possible cause for revision in elective lower-limb arthroplasty. This scoping review aims to identify and evaluate all existing novel assessment methods metal
The British Oncology Network for Undergraduate Societies (BONUS) surveyed students who attended an oncology revision day to determine their views on the current quantity, quality and type of curriculum-based teaching they have experienced.Students attending two BONUS days received a questionnaire assessing experience within medical curriculum interest in pursuing future career using 10-point Likert scale. Data were collected with informed consent be anonymised used research. Student...
Formal education of oncology is lacking in many undergraduate medical curricula. Mentoring schemes can expose participants to specific areas medicine and may address the shortfalls education. Few mentoring have been designed within United Kingdom, especially oncology. There a need understand reasons for mentor mentee participation such identify ways minimize barriers engagement.This study identifies motivations an scheme its benefits limitations both mentor.The British Oncology Network...
Hip disease is common in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and can decrease quality of life function. Surveillance programmes exist to improve outcomes by treating hip at an early stage using radiological surveillance. However, studies surveillance report different outcomes, making it difficult compare. We aimed identify the most important measurements develop a core measurement set (CMS) for clinical practice, research, programmes.A systematic review identified list previously used...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Patients with acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are usually admitted to hospital for management. However, there is growing interest in delivering IV diuretic therapy at home, the community or day-care units. The safety and effectiveness of out-patient based management (OPM) ADHF has not been established. Accordingly, we conducted a systematic literature review meta-analysis investigate efficacy OPM compared in-patient (IPM) ADHF. <h3>Methods</h3> A...

With the exponential increase in consumption of electrical power during summer season by household, there is a great need for households to withhold sustainability. To maintain temperature household passive heating and cooling system used i.e. Solar Chimney. Ventilation, through natural convection process, gaining lot attention be an alternative technique mechanical air conditioning ventilation because its reduced usage when compared external devices residential buildings hot regions. The...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Acute heart failure (AHF) is associated with 9% mortality. The National audit has consistently shown better survival of patients who are under the care cardiologists. Heart mortality 7% if patient in a cardiac ward compared to 11% other wards. It unclear whether benefit result management such as disease modifying or cardiologists selecting less ill (younger, renal function, severe failure). Also we aim find out more wards get an echocardiography within 48 hours...
<h3>Introduction</h3> The weekend effect occurs as a result of the failure healthcare provision to improve processes care, including ensuring 24/7 access life-saving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such echocardiography in patients with heart (HF). Increased mortality has been linked patient admissions globally thus it is important understand its impact on HF subsequently changes that can be implemented quality care for admissions. <h3>Methods</h3> A retrospective study consecutive...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Near the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, a reduction in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presentation was reported. We hypothesise that this may lead to substantial increase heart failure (HF) admissions and an HF mortality. <h3>Methods</h3> Consecutive with Blackpool Victoria hospital were categorised into three groups: pre- COVID era (defined as 01/08/2019 31/01/2020), first wave (01/02/2020 31/07/2021) third group is second (01/08/2021 31/01/2021)....
<h3>Introduction</h3> - Acute Heart failure inpatient mortality is as high 7-11% in UK National Failure audits with little improvement over many years. Some but not all studies have suggested a possible weekend effect on different patient groups including patients suffering from heart failure. However, some failed to recognise admissions after 5pm Fridays weekend. We aim determine large cohort of whether are less likely survive if admitted during or Bank Holidays. <h3>Methods</h3> A...
