Resistant hypertension is a common clinical problem faced by both primary care clinicians and specialists. While the exact prevalence of resistant unknown, trials suggest that it not rare, involving perhaps 20% to 30% study participants. As older age obesity are 2 strongest risk factors for uncontrolled hypertension, incidence will likely increase as population becomes more elderly heavier. The prognosis but cardiovascular undoubtedly increased patients often have history long-standing,...

Non-invasive ventilation has been used in chronic respiratory failure due to obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the effect of addition nasal positive-pressure long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) not determined. We report a randomized crossover study combination pressure support (NPSV) and domiciliary LTOT as compared with alone stable hypercapnic COPD. Fourteen patients were studied, values (mean +/- SD) Pao2 45.3 5.7 mm Hg, PaCO2 55.8 3.6 FEV1 0.86 0.32 L. A 4 wk run-in period (on usual...

General practice in the UK transformed almost overnight March 2020 response to COVID-19 pandemic. Practices largely shut their doors, face-to-face consultations exclusively became remote consultations, research evidence was implemented within days of being published, and much routine work postponed labelled ‘non-essential’. As we settle into this (temporary) new way working, have a unique opportunity reflect on our old working practices decide what should continue, change, stop doing....
Background The cancer burden falls predominantly on older (≥65 years) adults. Prompt presentation to primary care with symptoms could result in earlier diagnosis. However, patient symptom appraisal and help-seeking decisions involving are complex may be further complicated Aim To explore the effect of age patients’ possible their decision seek help for these symptoms. Design setting Mixed-methods systematic review. Method MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Web Science Core...
Summary In this study two different types of forearm internal fracture fixations were compared: limited-contact dynamic compression (DC) plates and fluted intramedullary (IM) rods. Eight matched pairs intact forearms, consisting the distal part humerus, elbow joint, radius, ulna, interosseus membrane, wrist metacarpals, randomly separated into groups. Each was placed a custom-designed apparatus subjected to medial bending, supination, pronation, axial compression, distraction loading. Loads...
There are national and global moves to improve effective digital data design application in healthcare. This New Horizons commentary describes the role of healthcare ageing population. We outline how health social care professionals can engage proactive systems that appropriately serve people as they age, carers workforce supports them.

In the field of machine learning, domain-specific annotated data is an invaluable resource for training effective models. However, in medical domain, this often includes Personal Health Information (PHI), raising significant privacy concerns. The stringent regulations surrounding PHI limit availability and sharing datasets, which poses a substantial challenge researchers practitioners aiming to develop advanced learning paper, we introduce novel method "clone" datasets containing PHI. Our...
Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is frequent in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) and carries a high mortality. While it has been suggested that arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) may exacerbate PHT HD patients, also observed creating AVF with chronic lung disease normal renal function lead to improved exercise tolerance. Most of the observations regarding using echocardiography demonstrated temporary closure pulmonary pressures. We present case 45-year-old patient obstructive on who experienced...
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a recognised, but unusual cause of chronic ascites.1 ,2 Patients with pericardial constriction may present to non-cardiological specialties,3 ,4 the symptoms and signs leading diagnosis congestive cardiac failure, lung disease or liver disease.5 ,6 It important suspect rule out CP because surgery it treatable potentially curable. Much difficulty in diagnosing can be attributed its insidious course absence typical cardiopulmonary symptoms. Over 50% patients...
The main objective of this study is to assess current hepatitis C services for female prisoners. design includes a retrospective audit inmates’ contact with blood-borne virus (BBV) and outcomes service use. was carried out at prison women in the north England 179 prisoners 69 users. outcome measures were proportions use (time testing/treatment; proportion positive C; HIV status). Almost quarter those arriving have BBV services; most them report history intravenous drug (75.4%), although...
