Introduction Prostate MRI is a well-established tool for the diagnostic work-up men with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). Current recommendations advocate use of multiparametric (mpMRI), which composed three sequences: T2-weighted sequence (T2W), diffusion-weighted (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE). Prior studies suggest that biparametric (bpMRI) approach, omitting DCE sequences, may not compromise clinically significant detection, though there are limitations to these studies, it...
Background High variability in prostate MRI quality might reduce accuracy cancer detection. Purpose To prospectively evaluate the of scanners taking part control phase global PRIME (Prostate Imaging Using ± Contrast Enhancement) trial using Prostate Quality (PI-QUAL) standardized scoring system, give recommendations on how to improve protocols, and establish whether could be improved by these recommendations. Materials Methods In prospective clinical (PRIME), for each scanner, centers...
BackgroundFew studies have compared SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immunogenicity by ethnic group. We sought to establish whether cellular and humoral immune responses vaccination differ according ethnicity in UK Healthcare workers (HCWs).MethodsIn this cross-sectional analysis, we used baseline data from two immunological cohort conducted HCWs Leicester, UK. Blood samples were collected between March 3, September 16, 2021. excluded HCW who had not received doses of at the time sampling those...
The teaching of human anatomy and surgical procedures in medicine has traditionally relied on cadaveric dissections, textbook illustrations more recently digital simulations. Although tried tested, these methods do not come without limitations; cadavers have limited availability are expensive to procure store, two dimensional simulations lack tactile feedback. Innovations such as 3D printing aim bridge perceived education gaps, provide the most comprehensive practical learning experience...
The rapid and accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is crucial controlling its spread managing public health responses. SARS-CoV-2 an airborne transmitted through direct contact or respiratory droplets from infected individuals. While some patients exhibit clear symptoms, others remain asymptomatic, making early detection essential to prevent further transmission. Diagnostic methods primarily rely on two strategies: detecting viral RNA identifying...
Objectives To produce a best practice consensus guideline for the conduct of scrotal exploration suspected testicular torsion using formal methodology. Materials and Methods A panel 16 expert urologists, representing adult, paediatric, general andrological urology used RAND Corporation / University California, Los Angeles (RAND/UCLA) Appropriateness Consensus Methodology to score 184‐statement pre‐meeting questionnaire on torsion. The collated responses were presented at face‐to‐face online...
Medical students providing support to clinical teams during Covid-19 may have been an opportunity for service and learning. We aimed understand why the reported educational impact has mixed inform future placements.We conducted a cross-sectional survey of medical at UK schools first 'lockdown' period in (March-July 2020). Analysis was informed by conceptual framework learning.1245 from 37 responded. 57% respondents provided across variety roles benefits including increased preparedness...
To evaluate the status of UK undergraduate urology teaching against British Association Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Undergraduate Syllabus for Urology. Secondary objectives included evaluating type and quantity provided, reported performance rate General Medical Council (GMC)-mandated urological procedures, proportion undergraduates considering as a career.
Clinical education research (ClinEdR) utilises diverse terminology, which can lead to confusion. A common language is essential for enhancing impact. An expert panel drawn from various workstreams within the National Institute Health and Care Research (NIHR) Incubator Education was tasked with reviewing an initial list of terms development a glossary in field ClinEdR. The populated terms, definitions foundational papers by authors peer-reviewed accuracy. developed ClinEdR should enable...
Introduction Scholarship is a key activity in health professions education (HPE). When disseminating scholarly work, how one selects the journal to which they submit often argued be determinant of subsequent success. To draw more evidence-based recommendations this regard, we surveyed successful scholars working HPE regarding their perspectives and experiences with selection. Methods We conducted an international survey scholars, investigating decisions choice. Corresponding authors were...

Interventional radiology (IR) is underrepresented in undergraduate medical school curricula. Despite the introduction of a suggested curriculum for IR by British Society Radiology (BSIR), current evidence suggests there inadequate knowledge and awareness amongst students. As result this, lack visibility subspeciality students junior doctors contributing to shortage trainees resulting an workforce crisis UK. The uptake proposed remains unclear, highlighting need thorough audit improvement...
