Article Synopsis
- Researchers are studying an AI tool called EchoGo Pro, which helps doctors find heart problems like coronary artery disease.
- The study will check how accurate the AI is compared to human doctors, and ask nurses, patients, and others how they feel about using it.
- The team will also look at how much it costs to use EchoGo Pro and if people think it's worth the money, which may help decide if it should be used more in hospitals.
Background: Manual therapy (MT) is commonly used to manage low back pain (LBP) and involves a complex interaction between the practitioner and patient. Attitudes and beliefs about MT may play a role in the outcomes seen in patients experiencing LBP. However, knowledge of patients' attitudes and beliefs regarding MT is currently limited.

Design: A realist evaluation was conducted to understand what works for whom and in what circumstances. The programme theory, derived from a scoping review, comprised: person and family centred care, institutional approaches and infrastructure.
Objective: Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has been suggested to be an effective non-invasive ablative therapy for oligometastases originated from colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to report CRC oligometastases SABR treatment outcomes in terms of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and post-treatment toxicities.
Methods: Treatment records of patients with CRC metachronous oligometastases who underwent SABR at a single institution between February 2015 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.
End-of-life and immediate postdeath acute hospital interventions: scoping review.
BMJ Support Palliat Care
July 2022
Background: Hospital remains the most common place of death in the UK, but there are ongoing concerns about the quality of end-of-life care provision in this setting. Evaluation of interventions in the last days of life or after a bereavement is methodologically and ethically challenging.
Aim: The aim was to describe interventions at the very end of life and in the immediate bereavement period in acute hospitals, with a particular focus on how these are evaluated.
