Patient compliance with medications, nasal douching, smoking cessation and long-term outcomes of surgical septorhinoplasty - a prospective series of 56 cases.

Introduction: Septorhinoplasty addresses both functional and cosmetic concerns with the nose and has been shown to have consistent, long-term benefits for patients. Nasal irrigation and medication such as antimicrobials are prescribed postoperatively to improve outcomes. Patient compliance with these interventions and outcomes of surgery have not been described.

Implementation of a Quality Metrics Competition to Improve Panel Management Among Internal Medicine Residents.

Panel management is essential for residents to learn, yet challenging to teach. To our knowledge, prior literature has not described curricula utilizing a financially incentivized competition to improve resident primary care metrics. We developed a panel management curriculum, including a financially incentivized quality competition, to improve resident performance on quality metrics.

Telephone triage for 2-week-wait cancer clinics: a viable alternative to face-to-face clinics?

Introduction: Head and neck cancer services have had to adapt to reduce the risk of exposure to patients and staff during the pandemic. Telephone consultations as a first point contact have been adopted in some centres. It is important that this does not lead to delays in diagnosis.

A model based on Bayesian confirmation and machine learning algorithms to aid archaeological interpretation by integrating incompatible data.

The interpretation of archaeological features often requires a combined methodological approach in order to make the most of the material record, particularly from sites where this may be limited. In practice, this requires the consultation of different sources of information in order to cross validate findings and combat issues of ambiguity and equifinality. However, the application of a multiproxy approach often generates incompatible data, and might therefore still provide ambiguous results.
