The Development of a Multi-Modal Cancer Rehabilitation (Including Prehabilitation) Service in Sheffield, UK: Designing the Active Together Service.

Cancer patients undergoing major interventions face numerous challenges, including the adverse effects of cancer and the side effects of treatment. Cancer rehabilitation is vital in ensuring cancer patients have the support they need to maximise treatment outcomes and minimise treatment-related side effects and symptoms. The Active Together service is a multi-modal rehabilitation service designed to address critical support gaps for cancer patients.

Emerging applications of high-precision Cu isotopic analysis by MC-ICP-MS.

As a component of many minerals and an essential trace element in most aerobic organisms, the transition metal element Cu is important for studying reduction-oxidation (redox) interactions and metal cycling in the total environment (lithosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and anthroposphere). The "fractionation" or relative partitioning of the naturally occurring "heavy" (Cu) and "light" (Cu) isotope between two coexisting phases in a system occurs according to bonding environment and/or as a result of a slight difference in the rate at which these isotopes take part in physical processes and chemical reactions (in absence of equilibrium). Due to this behaviour, Cu isotopic analysis can be used to study a range of geochemical and biological processes that cannot be elucidated with Cu concentrations alone.

Hydrogeochemical mineral exploration in deeply weathered terrains: An example from Mumbwa, Zambia.

Locating mineral deposits in areas of thick or transported overburden is notoriously difficult. Post-mineral cover is prevalent in many parts of the globe and has led to prospective geological sequences being missed by traditional methods of exploration. Hydrogeochemistry is particularly applicable for the exploration of Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposits because, when compared to larger porphyry or sediment-hosted systems, IOCG deposits tend to be smaller and high-grade with a limited lateral footprint to intersect with grid-drilling; groundwater interactions and ion dispersion tend to produce a much larger anomaly target than regolith geochemistry alone and require fewer samples.

Clinical and operative characteristics of cyclops syndrome after double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and operative characteristics of cyclops lesion in a consecutive series of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) double-bundle reconstruction.

Methods: Included were 387 patients who underwent an ACL double-bundle reconstruction with quadriceps or hamstring tendons and were followed up at 6 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months for clinical examination. When a persistent extension deficit was observed 3 months postoperatively, magnetic resonance imaging was performed to eventually diagnose a cyclops syndrome, and arthroscopic removal of the nodule was performed in these cases.

Glenoid version: how to measure it? Validity of different methods in two-dimensional computed tomography scans.

Hypothesis: Recognition of the glenoid version is important for evaluation of different pathologies such as degenerative wear, shoulder instability, or congenital deformity. Surgical strategies can change significantly in the presence of major retroversion. There is no consensus on the method to use to evaluate version.
