Awareness of radiation risks by medical students & referrers requesting radiological examinations in the North of Scotland: an audit.

Introduction: Radiological imaging has played an important role in diagnostic medicine for over a century, though it is known to contribute to dermatological conditions, cataracts, and cancer. The associated risk of harm has led to the introduction of protective regulations around the world. Present-day NHS clinicians are increasingly requesting and relying on diagnostic imaging.

Predictors of PTSD and CPTSD in UK firefighters.

: Globally, professional firefighters are often exposed to traumatic events and are at high risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. : With the publication of the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) there arose a need for research based on the new diagnostic criteria, and the associated disorder, Complex PTSD (CPTSD). : Participants were 1300 former or present firefighters from the UK.

Assessing the role of the universal addition of CT thorax to CT abdomen and pelvis in the COVID era. A retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Objective: The SARS-CoV2 infection is associated with high mortality for individuals who undergo emergency surgery. The United Kingdom surgical associations and Colleges of Surgeons collectively recommended the addition of CT Thorax to all emergency CT abdomen/pelvis imaging in order to help identify possible COVID-19 patients. Early identification of these patients would lead to optimal treatment strategies for the patient and protection for staff members.

Tuning the Photo-electrochemical Performance of Ru -Sensitized Two-Dimensional MoS.

Covalently tethering photosensitizers to catalytically active 1T-MoS surfaces holds great promise for the solar-driven hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report the preparation of two new Ru -complex-functionalized MoS hybrids [Ru (bpy) (phen)]-MoS and [Ru (bpy) (py)Cl]-MoS . The influence of covalent functionalization of chemically exfoliated 1T-MoS with coordinating ligands and Ru complexes on the HER activity and photo-electrochemical performance of this dye-sensitized system was studied systematically.
