Article Synopsis
- The British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma and Orthopaedics (BOAST) provide guidelines for treating open lower limb fractures, and an audit was conducted to evaluate the adherence to these standards in a Southeast England trauma center.
- The audit analyzed data from 133 patients from August 2020 to August 2022, revealing that most patients were older women who sustained fractures from low-energy injuries, with a significant number undergoing timely debridement and closure procedures.
- While the management of these fractures generally aligned with BOAST guidelines, improvements are needed in initial debridement practices, emphasizing the importance of training and resource allocation to enhance compliance.
Aims: To evaluate the use, outcomes and toxicities of high dose rate brachytherapy (HDRB) to the vulvovaginal region in previously irradiated and radiotherapy-naïve patients for primary or recurrent gynaecological malignancies.
Materials And Methods: From January 2010 to December 2020, 94 women with a median age of 64 years (range 31-88 years) were treated with interstitial HDRB for vulvovaginal disease. Treatment details, including cumulative radiotherapy doses, were recorded together with reported toxicity, using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grading.
Non-surgical facial aesthetics (NSFA) are cosmetic procedures intended to reduce signs of ageing and provide facial rejuvenation. There is currently no recommendation for NSFA to be included in the undergraduate dental curriculum globally. This study aims to gain the views of final year dental students about pursuing a career in NSFA.
