Bilateral gluteus medius and minimus calcific tendonitis in a patient with previous bilateral calcific tendonitis of the shoulder: A case report.

Calcific tendonitis of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons is a rare complication of hydroxyapatite deposition disease, with bilateral involvement even more so. Although patients can be asymptomatic, there is often an acute-on-chronic presentation of pain. We present a case of bilateral calcific tendonitis of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons on a background of previous bilateral rotator cuff calcific tendonitis in a middle-aged woman.

Current margin practice and effect on re-excision rates following the publication of the SSO-ASTRO consensus and ABS consensus guidelines: a national prospective study of 2858 women undergoing breast-conserving therapy in the UK and Ireland.

Introduction: There is variation in margin policy for breast conserving therapy (BCT) in the UK and Ireland. In response to the Society of Surgical Oncology and American Society for Radiation Oncology (SSO-ASTRO) margin consensus ('no ink on tumour' for invasive and 2 mm for ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS]) and the Association of Breast Surgery (ABS) consensus (1 mm for invasive and DCIS), we report on current margin practice and unit infrastructure in the UK and Ireland and describe how these factors impact on re-excision rates.

Methods: A trainee collaborative-led multicentre prospective study was conducted in the UK and Ireland between 1st February and 31st May 2016.

Three-year follow-up of ranibizumab treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration: influence of baseline visual acuity and injection frequency on visual outcomes.

Purpose: To determine the effect of ranibizumab on visual acuity (VA) following a 3-year treatment period for patients diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration. To establish whether baseline VA and injection frequency influence visual outcomes.
