Enhancing fall risk assessment: instrumenting vision with deep learning during walks.

Background: Falls are common in a range of clinical cohorts, where routine risk assessment often comprises subjective visual observation only. Typically, observational assessment involves evaluation of an individual's gait during scripted walking protocols within a lab to identify deficits that potentially increase fall risk, but subtle deficits may not be (readily) observable. Therefore, objective approaches (e.

Digital Fellowships: Inspiring use of contemporary technologies in applied healthcare.

The adoption of digital technologies in healthcare, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, requires a well-prepared workforce capable of implementing those technologies. Here, we examine the role and impact of digital fellowships in facilitating digital transformation in healthcare systems. Digital fellowships are structured educational programmes designed to equip healthcare professionals with advanced digital skills.

Isolated cardiac involvement of a primary myeloid sarcoma: a case report of an unusual cause of pulmonary oedema.

Background: Myeloid sarcoma, also known as chloroma, is a pathologic diagnosis for an extramedullary proliferation of blasts of one or more of the myeloid lineages. It is an uncommon manifestation of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), although the diagnosis may occur prior to or after diagnosis of AML. Cardiac infiltration by myeloid sarcoma is extremely rare, and of the few published cases, a diagnosis of leukaemia was almost always already present.

Change in Incidence and Severity of Abusive Head Trauma in the Paediatric Age Group Pre- and During COVID-19 Lockdown in the North East of England.

Background: (AHT) is currently the accepted terminology that encompasses previously used terms such as non-accidental injury (NAI) or non-accidental head injury (NAHI) and shaken baby syndrome (SBS). It is AHT and its ocular manifestations that ophthalmologists are vital in identifying and reporting.

Objectives: To investigate whether there is a change in the incidence or severity of AHT pre- and during COVID-19 lockdown.

A rare cause of culture negative bioprosthetic valve endocarditis: a case report of infection.

Background: The prevalence of culture negative infective endocarditis (IEC) is reported as 2-7% though this figure may be as high as 70% in developing countries. This higher rate will, at least in part, be due to reduced diagnostic facilities though some data suggests higher rates even when appropriate cultures were taken. The frequency is significantly elevated in patients who have already been exposed to antibiotics prior to blood cultures.
