Article Synopsis
- Prenatal exome sequencing (pES) was introduced in England to improve genetic diagnosis in fetuses with structural anomalies, and the study aimed to analyze its outcomes between October 2021 and June 2022, including diagnostic yield and referral rates.
- Out of 475,089 births, the pES referral rate was 8.6 per 10,000, with 59% of referred women undergoing testing; 35% of those received a definitive diagnosis, averaging a turnaround time of 15 days.
- The study found significant variations in outcomes based on diagnostic results, with 40% of women with a definite diagnosis choosing termination of pregnancy, compared to only 18% among those without a diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- - Organisational resilience relies on effective knowledge-driven standards and practices that help risk owners manage complex threats, making knowledge essential for developing resilience strategies.
- - Knowledge production can evolve through opportunistic or structured methods, promoting transformative or incremental change, and fosters collaboration among security professionals to identify and address skill gaps.
- - The paper discusses the role of security professionals, the creation and application of knowledge, the significance of training and credible resources, and the necessity for a recognized competency framework to guide professional development in the security field.
Article Synopsis
- Traditional clinical guidelines often mismatch the strength of recommendations with the quality of evidence, prompting the need for improvement in the field of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- The objective was to create a comprehensive guideline that aligns evidence and recommendations better, utilizing a systematic review involving 54 experts across 12 countries who analyzed 914 articles on various aspects of UTIs.
- Only 6 out of 37 questions could be clearly recommended based on strong evidence, while the rest resulted in clinical reviews outlining the risks and benefits of existing approaches.
Introduction: Tibial plateau fractures are complex, peri-articular fractures that can have poor outcomes resulting in conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study evaluates the 10-year survival of tibial plateau fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation and identifies risk factors associated with conversion to TKA.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluates the outcomes of 126 patients undergoing tibial plateau ORIF from January 2011 to December 2012 at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Background: With 100,000 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures taking place in the United Kingdom annually, the demand on rehabilitation services is high. Most regimes are home-based. Without clinician-patient interaction, detection of rehabilitation concerns can be delayed, reducing the chance of successful early intervention.
