NHS staff mental health status in the active phase of the COVID-19 era: a staff survey in a large London hospital.

Background: Experiencing a pandemic can be very unsettling and may have a negative impact on the mental health of frontline healthcare workers (HCWs). This may have serious consequences for the overall well-being of HCWs, which in turn may adversely affect patient safety and the productivity of the institution.

Aims: We designed a study to assess the prevalence of generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), depression and work-related stress experienced by the National Health Service staff in a large tertiary London hospital treating patients with COVID-19 during the current active phase of the COVID-19 era.

Renal cell carcinoma with IVC and atrial thrombus: a single centre's 10 year surgical experience.

Unlabelled: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) propagates into the IVC in 4% of cases with 1% extending into the right atrium. Radical surgical resection remains the definitive curative/palliative treatment in those without significant metastases. The aim was to review our experience in patients with different levels of IVC involvement, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and perioperative/long term outcomes.
