Patient-level costing analysis of paediatric short bowel syndrome care in a specialist tertiary centre.

Purpose: To undertake a pilot study estimating patient-level costs of care for paediatric short bowel syndrome (SBS) from the healthcare provider perspective.

Methods: A pilot group of patients with anatomical SBS was selected at a single specialist tertiary centre in the United Kingdom. The Patient Level Information and Costing System (PLICS) was used to extract costing data for all hospital-based activities related to SBS, from the implementation of PLICS in 2016 to April 2021.

Thyroid ultrasound and nodule malignancy risk: a "real world" assessment of ultrasound reporting and agreement of ultrasound-based malignancy risk estimates with cytology and histology findings.

Aims: Thyroid nodule malignancy risk is increasingly estimated using ultrasound characteristics. We assessed ultrasound reports of nodules and compared ultrasound-based malignancy risk assessments with cytology and histology findings.

Methods: We identified patients with thyroid ultrasound (55% by private provider, 45% by DHB) and cytology at CMDHB over 18 months.

Stability and effects of muscle transplantation for very large angle esotropia: A study of 22 patients.

Purpose: A very large angle esotropia is characterized by an angle more than 80 prism diopters (pd). A single eye surgery would not correct such a large angle. Supramaximal recessions and resection would lead to restriction of ocular motility.

Ridge at the medial rectus muscle insertion: A new anatomical landmark.

Background And Aim: Rectus muscle insertions are usually linear or slight curved with the anterior convexity. While operating squint surgeries, we found a presence of ridge-like structure at the medial rectus insertion. None of the other rectus muscle insertions had such structure.

Effect of bilateral superior oblique split lengthening on torsion.

Introduction: Superior oblique split lengthening (SOSL) is done for weakening of superior oblique. It corrects the superior oblique overaction (SOOA) and A pattern. Its effect on the torsion of the eye is not known.

Loop myopexy with true muscle transplantation for very large angle heavy eye syndrome patient.

A 42-year-old man presenting with complaints of squint for last 20 years. His visual acuity was 20/400 in right eye (RE) and 20/30 in left eye (LE) with glasses. His refraction was RE -16.
