It has been well documented that trauma is the most common cause of death in developed countries in those under the age of 45. In England, in 2013 this accounted for an estimated 5,400 deaths. Chest trauma is the third most common type of injury in polytrauma patients, however it is the second most common […]

Around the world trauma is still one of the commonest causes of death in the first four decades of life. Approximately 15% of all trauma patients will have an abdominal injury. Most abdominal injuries are treatable, but early recognition is essential to reducing the morbidity and mortality of such patients. The severely injured patient can […]

Dementia is a clinical syndrome characterised by neurodegeneration that leads to progressive deterioration in several intellectual domains, including memory, language and executive brain function. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the commonest cause of neurodegenerative dementia that accounts for more than 60% of all cases, followed by vascular dementia, mixed dementia, Lewy body dementia (DLB), frontotemporal dementia […]

F-18 FDG PETCT plays an important role in disease staging, evaluating treatment response and detecting recurrence in oncology. In addition, combined anatomic and functional imaging offered by PETCT has potential in optimising radiotherapy treatment planning (RTP) in a range of cancers. Possible molecular imaging advantages include reduced inter-observer variation in gross tumour volume (GTV) delineation, […]

Axillary lymph node status is an important prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer. Traditionally, staging of the axilla was full axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for all patients with invasive breast cancer. However, ALND is associated with significant morbidity to the patient. To reduce this but offer equal survival outcome as with full axillary […]

Thyroid nodules are very common: 4-8% of the general population have palpable nodules while 19-67% will have nodules sonographically. The vast majority of these thyroid nodules are benign with only a minority (2-12%) being malignant. The increasing use of sonography has resulted in what is often referred to as a “thyroid storm”. However, despite this […]

The city of Stockholm, land of the great playwright Strindberg and the influential film director Ingmar Bergman, is perhaps better associated today with Nobel Prizes, as part of the legacy of one of Sweden’s most famous sons and the inventor of dynamite Alfred Nobel (1833-1896). Nobel was a brilliant inventor and very successful businessman. But, […]

Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer worldwide. It is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women and the fourth in men. The World Health Organization classifies colorectal carcinoma as a single entity and therefore much of the literature does not differentiate colon from rectal cancer. However, they are […]
