Article Synopsis
- Scars can lead to both aesthetic and functional issues, prompting the need for effective treatments to improve their appearance.
- A pilot study with ten patients assessed four different scar treatment combinations, revealing that a mix of fat grafting, Hyaluronic Acid (HA), and non-fractional laser therapy provided the best outcomes according to the Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS).
- While the combination treatment showed promising results, further research with larger sample sizes is necessary to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
A swim tunnel is to fish as a treadmill is to humans, and is a device used for indirect measuring of the metabolic rate. This study aims to explore the fish stress (if any) during the critical swimming test routines (fish handling, confinement, and swimming) using heart rate (f , heartbeat per minute) bio-loggers in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.).

We report outcomes using a minimally interventional approach to post-operative recovery.
Methods: Ethically approved (15/WA/0153), single-centre, retrospective case-note review of consecutive infants with OA 2000-2022.
Purpose: We report the use of diagnostic laparoscopy as an alternative to laparotomy in the investigation of infants with clinical features concerning for malrotation and inconclusive upper gastrointestinal contrast study.
Method: Case note review of all infants in whom laparoscopy was performed during 2016-2020 to investigate for possible malrotation.
Results: Eight infants were identified.
Repair of oesophageal atresia by consultants and supervised trainees results in similar outcomes.

Introduction: Consultants and trainees require exposure to complex cases for maintaining and gaining operative experience. Oesophageal atresia (OA) repair is a neonatal surgical procedure with indicative numbers for completion of training. A conflict of interest may exist between adequate training, maintaining consultant experience and achieving good outcomes.
