A New Diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis on a Background of Diversion Colitis Following Hartmann's Procedure for Perforated Diverticula.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic immune-mediated intestinal condition. This case report describes an 82-year-old woman who was newly diagnosed with UC. Two years prior, she had multiple admissions for abdominal pain and rectal bleeding, initially diagnosed as diverticulitis.

PERcutaneous transhepatic CHOLangioscopy using a new single-operator short cholangioscope (PERCHOL): European feasibility study.

Objectives: A new short device for percutaneous endoscopic cholangioscopy was recently developed. However, feasibility and safety has not yet been evaluated. The aim of this study was to assess clinical success, technical success, and adverse events (AEs).

A quality improvement project: Reducing the number of unnecessary plain abdominal radiographs performed in the emergency department of a London district general hospital.

Background: Inappropriate completion of abdominal radiographs results in unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation. This quality improvement project aimed to reduce the number of inappropriate abdominal radiographs performed in the emergency department.

Materials And Methods: Abdominal radiograph request forms were analyzed with reference to the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) iRefer guidance.

Analysis of an Ambulatory Care Pathway for Patients With COVID-19 Utilising Remote Pulse Oximetry at a London District General Hospital.

The identification of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with oxygen saturations between 90-94% who can be safely discharged from the emergency department (ED) is challenging due to the difficulty of community monitoring. A pathway consisting of home pulse oximetry with telephone follow-up was devised and implemented at a London District General Hospital to facilitate the safe discharge of these patients from the ED. Twenty patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 with oxygen saturations between 90%-94% were discharged on this novel ambulatory care pathway.
