A postal survey of practice managers in London found that women earned 5,000 Pounds a year less than men, on average.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Scunthorpe General Hospital, Scunthorpe, DN15 7BH, United Kingdom.
Purpose: Surgical management of the lateral end of clavicle fractures has been a challenge for orthopedic surgeons considering the high rate of non-union. There has been no right and wrong answer to these types of fractures and many methods discussed in the literature, but the 2 most used bony procedures are hook plate and locking plate with or without the use of supplementary soft tissue procedures. The available evidence, in this case, is scarce with questionable reliability.

Background: Trauma to the anal sphincter following vaginal birth increases the risk of anal incontinence. Laxative management in the postnatal period is recommended to improve defecation and reduce the risk of wound breakdown. Research underpinning management guidelines is lacking and omits end-users (clinicians and birthing women) involvement in evaluating pilot studies.

Introduction: We have evidence-based strategies such as remote patient monitoring and digital health tools to improve hypertension outcomes. Still, we lack large-scale studies focusing on disseminating these practices into routine clinical care. This is especially important to study within safety-net healthcare settings that disproportionately care for marginalized patient populations.
