Societal restrictions and lockdown during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic have had a significant impact on volume nature of trauma admissions. We assessed COVID-19 related societal admissions to single level 1 centre in Westmead, Australia. hypothesized that number would decrease due self-harm assault (specifically domestic violence) increase.Data was collected from prospectively maintained Westmead Hospital Trauma Registry. The primary outcome compared average March April years 2016...
Background: This study compared rates of progression to chronic breast cancer-related lymphedema (defined as ≥ 10% arm volume change from baseline requiring complex decongestive physiotherapy [CDP]) following an intervention for subclinical (S-BCRL) triggered by bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) or tape measurement (TM). Methods and Results: stratified, randomized, international trial enrolled new cancer patients undergoing: mastectomy/partial mastectomy, axillary treatment (dissection,...
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess pain and quality life (QoL) outcomes in patients with multiple painful displaced fractured ribs without operative fixation. Rib fractures are common can lead significant disability. There is minimal level 1 evidence for rib fixation non–ventilator-dependent chest wall injuries. We hypothesized that surgical stabilization would reduce improve QoL during 6 months. METHODS A prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing nonoperative...
Background To evaluate risk factors (treatment‐related, comorbidities, and lifestyle) for breast cancer–related lymphedema (BCRL) within the context of a Prospective Surveillance Early Intervention (PSEI) model care subclinical BCRL. Methods The parent randomized clinical trial assigned patients newly diagnosed with cancer to PSEI either bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) or tape measurement (TM). Surgical, systemic radiation treatments, lifestyle were recorded. Detection BCRL (change from...
Chest wall perforator flaps are emerging in oncoplastic breast conservation, mostly as an alternative to mastectomy. However, standardization and consensus on patient selection, techniques, outcomes have not yet been reached. The aim of this international multicentre collaborative study was explore practice patterns high-volume centres from different countries.
The main surgical options for treatment of breast cancer are breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy. BCS aims to achieve complete excision the tumor while achieving a pleasing cosmetic result. Excision tumors in lateral aspect has been associated with issues such as contour deformities asymmetry. Development volume replacement techniques intercostal artery perforator flap (LICAP) aimed address these issues. Our modification traditional LICAP offers less visible scar, good access axilla, no...
Abstract Background Implant‐based reconstruction accounts for the majority of breast reconstructive procedures performed in Australia. More recently, immediate prepectoral implant using TiLOOP Bra Pocket has gained popularity. This study compares post‐surgical complications and patient‐reported quality life outcomes between dual plane reconstruction. Methods A retrospective 80 consecutive patients who underwent nipple‐sparing mastectomies was conducted. Implants were either completely...
BACKGROUND There is limited research supporting optimal respiratory physiotherapy or physical rehabilitation strategies for patients with rib fractures. The aim of this study was to develop key recommendations the management METHODS A three-round modified e-Delphi survey design, using an international Delphi panel including clinicians, researchers and lecturers, physician associates, trauma surgeons, intensivists, used in study. draft were developed by Steering Group, based on available...
Military and civilian data would suggest that hemostatic resuscitation results in improved outcomes for exsanguinating patients. However, identification of those patients who are at risk significant hemorrhage is not clearly defined. We attempted to identify factors predict the need massive transfusion (MT) an Australasian trauma population, by comparing did receive with not.Between 1985 2010, 1,686 receiving least 1 U packed red blood cells were identified from our prospectively maintained...
A relational approach to autonomy refers the way in which social conditions and relationships shape a person's self-identity capacity decision-making. This article provides an empirical account of how treatment choices for women undergoing breast diseases care are fostered within dynamics their with clinicians, family members, other aspects environment. qualitative study recruited ten at programme, eight clinicians supporting care, private teaching hospital New South Wales, Australia....
