Morbid obesity is a chronic and progressive condition associated with various comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension cardiovascular diseases. In the management of this condition, clinical treatments surgical interventions have been widely debated, metabolic surgery standing out an alternative for cases refractory to treatment. To compare costs efficacy treatment in morbid obesity, assessing economic impacts outcomes medium long term. This literature review qualitative approach,...
Deep endometriosis is a gynaecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside uterus, involving organs such as ovaries, intestines and bladder. The disease can cause chronic pain, infertility additional complications, significantly affecting patients’ quality life. Although clinical treatment, use hormones, common, surgical approach has become essential for cases deep endometriosis, when symptoms are not effectively controlled. aim this study to analyze...
<title>Abstract</title> Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a significant health concern worldwide, with radiotherapy (RT) being one of the main treatment modalities. While RT is effective, it may be accompanied by side effects that can affect patients’ functional capacity and quality life (QoL). Clinical evidence suggests individual chronotypes influence response toxicity profiles, but prospective scarce. This observational cohort study aims to evaluate association between RT-related toxicities...
Technological advances in radiation therapy impact on the role and scope of practice therapist. The European Society Radiotherapy Oncology (ESTRO) recently held two workshops this topic position paper reflects outcome workshop, which included therapists from all global regions. Workflows, quality assurance, research, IGRT ART as well clinical decision making are areas therapist that will be highly influenced by advancing technology near future. This captures opportunities bring to...
Adapting radiotherapy services with workforce innovation using skills-mix or task-shifting optimises resources, supporting current and future demands. Advanced practitioners (APs) work at a different level of practice (beyond initial registration) across four pillars: clinical practice, leadership management, education, research. There is limited cross-country research on the advanced therapeutic radiographers/radiation therapists (TR/RTTs), particularly in Europe. This study aimed to...
IntroductionThe role of the Therapy Radiographer/Radiation Therapist (TR/RTT) is to provide radiotherapy patients with a cancer diagnosis. This includes, not only administration treatment, but also management side-effects and provision support/care. Despite this being consistent throughout Europe, there currently no standardisation education for TRs/RTTs. The SAFE EUROPE project aims standardize TR/RTT enable 'safe free exchange' TRs/RTTs across Europe. Consequently, study explore patients'...
IntroductionIt is estimated that around 50% of cancer patients require Radiotherapy (RT) at some point during their treatment, hence Therapeutic Radiographers/Radiation Therapists (TR/RTTs) have a key role to play in patient management. It essential for TR/RTTs keep abreast with new technologies and continuously develop the digital skills necessary safe RT practice. The profession education not regulated European Union level, which leads heterogeneity developed practised among countries....
Introduction FNA is a well‐established method for the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules, but limitations still reside among non‐diagnostic and indeterminate samples. The objective present study was to assess impact repeat in nodules primarily classified as indeterminate, with evaluation diagnostic resolution rate after reassessment nodule. Methods We retrospectively collected all cases at our institution last 5 years that had one or more aspirations same nodule, calculating...
Background Rapid on‐site evaluation is a great tool for optimizing the adequacy and quality of cytologic samples. The objective current study was to analyze low‐cost telecytopathology method remote assessment thyroid fine‐needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs), with comparison primarily rendered diagnosis final conventional analysis. Methods Material collected from FNABs immediately smeared onto glass slides stained Diff‐Quik. A microscope attached smart device operated by either medical student...
Radiotherapy is delivered almost exclusively by therapeutic radiographers/radiation therapist (RTTs). Patient's perspectives of RTTs affect levels trust and confidence in the profession can have a significant impact on overall radiotherapy experience. The study reports patients' from their experience undergoing radiotherapy. Four partner sites collaborated this research included Malta, Poland, Portugal, UK (lead site).
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to compare intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc (VMAT) regarding plan quality healthy lung sparing, in stage III non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) patients. Materials methods The plans of 60 patients were allocated either the IMRT ( n =30) or VMAT group. dose prescribed planning target volume (PTV) was evaluated at 95% level mean (MLD) receiving 5, 10 20 Gy (V 5 , V respectively) analysed. normal tissue complication...
Laparoscopic surgery has established itself as an innovative and effective approach to treating acute abdominal diseases, revolutionizing traditional surgical practices. With the advancement of medical technologies growing demand for less invasive procedures, laparoscopy offers significant advantages, such reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery time lower complication rates. This paper explores recent advances in laparoscopic technique, highlighting its role future minimally surgery....
