Article Synopsis
- The study looks at a new method to help control heavy bleeding in trauma patients, using a special balloon to block blood flow temporarily.
- It compares this method with regular care to see which one is better at keeping patients alive after serious injuries.
- The research involves patients in major hospitals in the UK and checks various health outcomes over time to find out the best approach for treatment.
Background: Gallstone disease is a common gastrointestinal disorder in industrialised societies. The prevalence of gallstones in the adult population is estimated to be approximately 10-15%, and around 80% remain asymptomatic. At present, cholecystectomy is the default option for people with symptomatic gallstone disease.

Design: Parallel group, pragmatic randomised, superiority trial.
Setting: 20 secondary care centres in the UK.
We explored the impacts of the remote and return-to-in-person work periods on sleep and well-being as reported by faculty ( = 22) and non-teaching staff ( = 21) with and without disabilities. Participants were recruited through college platforms and personal contacts. Our results show that contrary to expectations, the COVID-19 remote teaching/working period resulted in better sleep, as well as greater well-being, than the return-to-in-person work period.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) when used in the emergency department along with standard care vs standard care alone on mortality in trauma patients with exsanguinating hemorrhage.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Pragmatic, bayesian, randomized clinical trial conducted at 16 major trauma centers in the UK.
