Background: Scuba diving-related otological injuries comprise the majority of diving-related incidents that present to general practitioners (GPs). Correct diagnosis and management are key to prevent permanent hearing loss and vertigo.
Objective: The aim of this article is to increase awareness of the pathophysiology of otological diving injuries and provide an approach to initial assessment and treatment, as well as to highlight particular circumstances in which onward referral is required.
Background: To assess the efficacy of the diagnostic modalities used in the preoperative assessment of phyllodes tumours.
Methods: In this retrospective study of patients treated at Princess Alexandra Hospital, 51 phyllodes tumours in 49 patients diagnosed between 2005 and 2016 were reviewed with regard to their preoperative findings to assess which modalities, including clinical findings, mammography, ultrasound, fine needle aspiration and core biopsy, were most diagnostically discriminating. Data on demographics and management were also collected.
Background: We sought to describe the theory used to design treatment adherence interventions, the content delivered, and the mode of delivery of these interventions in chronic respiratory disease.
Methods: We included randomized controlled trials of adherence interventions (compared to another intervention or control) in adults with chronic respiratory disease (8 databases searched; inception until March 2015). Two reviewers screened and extracted data: post-intervention adherence (measured objectively); behavior change theory, content (grouped into psychological, education and self-management/supportive, telemonitoring, shared decision-making); and delivery.
