Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS), also known as Wallenberg syndrome, is a rare neurological condition most commonly resulting from occlusion of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). This syndrome is characterized by a constellation of symptoms including vertigo, ataxia, sensory deficits, and cranial nerve abnormalities, which arise due to infarction of the lateral medulla. We report the case of a 74-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension who presented to the emergency department with acute onset of vertigo and an unsteady gait.

Background: The National Health Service (NHS) Long Term Plan, published in 2019, committed to ensuring that every patient in England has the right to digital-first primary care by 2023-2024. The COVID-19 pandemic and infection prevention and control measures accelerated work by the NHS to enable and stimulate the use of online consultation (OC) systems across all practices for improved access to primary care.
Objective: We aimed to explore general practice coding activity associated with the use of OC systems in terms of trends, COVID-19 effect, variation, and quality.

Context: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) was developed as a novel stroke prevention alternative for patients with atrial fibrillation, particularly for those not suitable for long-term oral anticoagulant therapy. Traditionally, general anesthesia (GA) has been more commonly used primarily due to the necessity of transesophageal echocardiography.
Aims: Compare trends of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) versus GA for percutaneous transcatheter LAAC with endocardial implant and assess for independent variables associated with primary anesthetic choice.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of a novel, co-designed, digital AF educational program, 'INFORM-AF', to reduce re-hospitalisation of people with AF. The secondary aims are to examine the effect of the intervention on: (a) reducing cardiovascular-related hospitalisation, (b) increasing medication adherence, AF-related knowledge, and Atrial fibrillation (AF)-related quality of life and (c) determining the cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
Background: AF is an increasingly prevalent cardiac arrythmia that involves complex clinical management.
