Patient-centered digital healthcare for patients undergoing breast surgery-A cross-sectional questionnaire study.

Introduction: The potential of digital health services has become apparent in recent years, more so now following the coronavirus disease outbreak. However, despite majority of UK population integrating digital-based platforms into their everyday life, there is low engagement with NHS digital services, citing lack of patient-centered approaches to the design of such services. As such, this cross-sectional questionnaire aims to understand the patient perspective pertaining the utility of web-based information in aiding their breast cancer pathway at a large volume tertiary breast institute.

Hypertriglyceridaemia as a risk factor for critical care admission in acute pancreatitis: A prospective study.

Background And Aims: Hypertriglyceridaemia is both a primary cause of acute pancreatitis and an epiphenomenon. This study aimed to define the associations between hypertriglyceridaemia and clinical outcomes in patients admitted with acute pancreatitis.

Methods: This single-centre prospective observational study included patients with a confirmed clinical, biochemical or radiological diagnosis of acute pancreatitis from August 2017 to September 2018.

Sexual dysfunction after stroke-A biopsychosocial perspective.

Objectives: Poststroke sexual dysfunction (PSSD) is widespread and underrecognised, affecting over half of stroke patients with significant effects on a patients' quality of life. We reviewed the postulated factors contributing to PSSD and explore the underrecognition by presenting a questionnaire study as well as examining existing literature.

Methods: A literature search between January 1980 and December 2019 in electronic databases such as EMBASE, MEDLINE and PubMed was conducted.

Hydrocephalus and trigeminal neuralgia: exploring the association and management options.

We report the successful surgical management of three patients with trigeminal neuralgia and hydrocephalus. MRI revealed no neurovascular contact at the trigeminal root entry zone. Trigeminal neuralgic symptoms were controlled following alleviation of hydrocephalus.

Is there evidence to support serum antinuclear antibodies testing in women with recurrent implantation failure undergoing in vitro fertilization?

One of the most challenging aspects of reproductive medicine is the management of recurrent implantation failure. Various investigations, including antinuclear antibodies testing, are performed to seek an explanation and guide treatment. However, is there sufficient evidence or available therapeutic options to support antinuclear antibodies testing? We present a short review on the current literature and an attempt at a systematic review evaluating the association between antinuclear antibodies and recurrent implantation failure to address this question.
