The survey was sent to 1971 surgeons from 127 National Health Service (NHS) hospital trusts across the United Kingdom. Burnout prevalence and mood were assessed us...
Scarring is a major problem following skin injury. In early clinical trials, transforming growth factor β3 (avotermin) improved scar appearance. The aim of this study was to determine whether an injection of avotermin at the time of wound closure is effective in improving scar appearance.
Study RN1001-0042, a double-blind, randomized, within-patien...
Regular exposure to hand-transmitted vibration can result in symptoms and signs of peripheral vascular, neurological and other disorders collectively known as the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). A significant proportion of workers can suffer from HAVS after using vibrating power tools. HAVS is a chronic and progressive disorder. Early recogniti...
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in over 65-year-old men who have inguinal hernias and discuss if pre-operative selective screening of this population is appropriate.
A prospective study on 70 consecutive male patients with an age range of 65-88 years (mean, 74 years) who were referred to a...
The incidence of patients presenting with both ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) and elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (EAAA) increases with age. The aim of our study was to find out the incidence of RAAA, age and sex groups of patients at risk, and 30-day all-cause perioperative mortality associated with RAAA as well as EAAA repair in a b...
L'incidence des malades se présentant aussi bien avec un anévrysme de l'aorte abdominale rompu (AAAr) qu'un anévrysme de l'aorte abdominale électif (AAAe) augmente avec l'âge. Le but de notre étude était de préciser l'incidence des AAAr, l'âge et le sexe des malades à risque, et la mortalité péri-opératoire à 30 jours de toutes causes associée aux...

The scans were discussed at a multiple disciplinary meeting, and a query was raised regarding the radiation...
