Outcomes Following Paediatric Tonsillectomy From a UK Tertiary Centre: Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust's Experience During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background Paediatric tonsillectomy ranks among the most frequently performed surgical procedures globally. The substantial volume of these operations underscores their considerable impact on healthcare systems and resource allocation. Recent guidelines in the United Kingdom have emphasized the safety and feasibility of performing tonsillectomies as day-case surgeries.

Impact of Electronic Health Record Use on Cognitive Load and Burnout Among Clinicians: Narrative Review.

The cognitive load theory suggests that completing a task relies on the interplay between sensory input, working memory, and long-term memory. Cognitive overload occurs when the working memory's limited capacity is exceeded due to excessive information processing. In health care, clinicians face increasing cognitive load as the complexity of patient care has risen, leading to potential burnout.

Syncope as a rare presentation of papillary thyroid cancer.

Syncope as a presentation for head and neck cancers is extremely rare. We report a case of a man in his 50s presenting with syncope and a left-sided neck mass. The diagnosis of syncope was secondary to a neck mass compressing the carotid body.

White-coat hypertension/effect is associated with higher arterial stiffness and stroke events.

Objectives: The risk profile of white-coat hypertension/effect (WCH/E) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between WCH/E, markers of cardiovascular risk and cerebrovascular events.

Methods: This is a sub-group analysis of The Arterial Stiffness In lacunar Stroke and Transient ischemic attack (ASIST) study, which recruited 96 patients aged at least 40 years old with a diagnosis of transient ischemic attack or lacunar stroke in the preceding 14 days.

Inorganic nitrate attenuates cardiac dysfunction: roles for xanthine oxidoreductase and nitric oxide.

Background And Purpose: NO is a vasodilator and independent modulator of cardiac remodelling. Commonly, in cardiac disease (e.g.

Current status of white coat hypertension: where are we?

White coat hypertension (WCH) is characterised by an elevated clinic blood pressure (BP) with normal ambulatory or home BP. It is well recognised in clinical practice and occurs in approximately one-third of untreated patients with elevated clinic BP. Current evidence suggests that WCH is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, including the development of sustained hypertension and the presence of target organ damage.
