Background Endoscopy within 24 h of admission (early endoscopy) is a quality standard in acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). We aimed to audit time endoscopy outcomes and identify factors affecting delayed (>24 admission). Methods This prospective multicentre enrolled patients admitted with AUGIB who underwent inpatient between November December 2017. Analyses were performed associated endoscopy, compare patient outcomes, including length stay mortality rates, early groups....
The vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is a condition secondary to inciting triggers resulting in destruction and eventual disappearance of intrahepatic ducts leading cholestasis. overall outcome varies often depends on the nature precipitating cause. VBDS has been found be associated with adverse drug reactions, infectious diseases, autoimmune ischemia, humoral factors malignancies irreversible. objective this clinical case report highlight need for broad differential include similar...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with numerous cardiac complications. We describe a case of type 1 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) focal myocarditis unmasked in patient infected SARS-CoV-2 no previous history, the hope increasing understanding severity and possible complications disease 2019 (COVID-19) improving its clinical management.

The use of post exposure prophylaxis for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) following sexual (PEPSE) was retrospectively audited in an inner city genitourinary clinic against the 2015 national guidelines by British Association Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH). One-hundred out a total 101 patients (99%) had baseline test done. 82.1% (n=83) were given PEPSE prescriptions fitting within recommended indications lower than 90% target set BASHH. 84.2% (n=85) administered 72 hours 90%. 61.4% (n=62)...

When delivering or planning any learning intervention it is important to consider the available educational media. Educational media can be used supplement, consolidate basis of and they come delivered in a variety different formats. In this article we look at use endoscopy training.
Computed Tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to detect heart disease(CHD) in patients with stable chest pain of suspected cardiac origin. Exercise electrocardiography stress test (EST) use has previously been the choice investigation Rapid Access Chest Pain Clinics (RACPC). However studies have shown that 30% people attending RACPC are either unsuitable for EST or achieve non-diagnostic results.1 Randomised control trials CT showing more...
Anticoagulants are used in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolism. The most common indications for long-term anticoagulation with warfarin atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves venous A number anticoagulants available, including unfractioned heparin, low molecular weight vitamin K antagonists; warfarin, acenocoumarol phenindione. These have been many years, at present people who require an anticoagulant prescribed warfarin.However, recent national guidelines recommended use...
