- The audit aimed to assess and improve the completeness and accuracy of the National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset specifically for elbow arthroplasty surgeries.
- In a two-phase approach, Phase 1 compared NJR data with NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), identifying thousands of unmatched and inaccurate records, particularly for radial head arthroplasties (RHAs).
- Phase 2 involved collaboration among 142 NHS hospitals to correct and update records, resulting in an improved completeness of the NJR dataset from 63% to 93% and accuracy from 94% to 98%.
Background And Aim: Horses used for antisera production are repeatedly hyperimmunized to produce high levels of specific antibodies. This prolonged process can lead to various health issues, including amyloidosis, which involves the accumulation of amyloid proteins in organs and tissues, potentially causing organ dysfunction and failure. These horses are often retired when they no longer produce adequate antibody levels.

- * The research involved a meta-analysis of 87 studies, finding that 17.59% of BC patients had viral infections and identified significant associations with specific viruses like HPV and EBV.
- * Though the exact mechanisms are not yet clear, the study suggests that certain viral infections could be risk factors for BC due to their impact on cellular processes in bladder tissue.
Background: Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a well-known retrovirus, particularly prevalent in northeastern Iran, where it is associated with a range of disorders, including liver dysfunction. Previous studies have demonstrated that HTLV-1 infection can alter lipid profiles, yet no research has examined lipid indices and liver function tests in these patients in the long term.
Methods: This data is part of the Mashhad stroke and heart atherosclerotic disorder (MASHAD) study.
Purpose: To investigate the healing process of conjunctival autografts (CAG) following pterygium surgery using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: Twenty-one eyes of 21 patients diagnosed with pterygium underwent pterygium excision with CAG without using Mitomycin-C. Over a 12-week follow-up period, changes in vascular density (VD), vascular density index (VDI), and vascular length density (VLD) were assessed at two distinct depths: superficial (<200 μm) and deep (>200 μm) using OCTA.
