Background Superficial abscesses are common surgical emergencies and unless complicated, are considered a low-priority emergency often leading to delayed primary treatment. Patients who are clinically stable benefit more from an ambulatory-care approach to their treatment. Aim of study This is a retrospective study to investigate the current practice of treatment of superficial abscesses at West Suffolk Hospital, United Kingdom, and evaluate the potential impact of implementing care via the ambulatory pathway to improve patients' experience, optimise the use of hospital resources and identify areas for service improvement.

- Inflammatory cytokines and chemokines contribute to COVID-19 severity, but patients with similar levels can experience different outcomes.
- A study analyzed microRNA and cytokine levels from hospitalized COVID-19 patients, showing that combining these measurements provides better discrimination of disease severity than either method alone.
- The research identified specific microRNA and cytokine associations linked to severe COVID-19, suggesting that systemic networks of these molecules play a crucial role in the disease's pathology.
Background: Non-medical devices such as the handheld fan (fan), mobility aids (wheeled walkers with seats) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) devices offer benefits for patient management of chronic breathlessness. We examined the published evidence regarding patient, carer and clinician use of the fan, mobility aids and IMT devices for chronic breathlessness management, and the potential barriers and facilitators to day-to-day use in a range of settings.
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, EBSCO and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched.
