Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed the effectiveness of bone anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) in treating class III skeletal malocclusion in children (ages 11-14) compared to a control group receiving no treatment, focusing on surgery necessity, dental changes, and psychological effects.
- - Conducted as a randomized controlled trial in six UK hospitals, 57 participants were divided into two groups: 28 received BAMP treatment, while 29 were in the no-treatment control group; measurements were taken at multiple points over 3 years.
- - Results showed significant improvements in skeletal and dental measures for the BAMP group at the 18-month mark, with a lower percentage of participants in this group feeling they needed surgery at the 3-year
Forming a stone in pelviureteric junction obstruction: Cause or effect?
Int Braz J Urol
July 2017
Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Objectives: To investigate a possible causal relationship for stone formation in pelviureteric junction obstruction and to outline management options.
Materials And Methods: A literature search and evidence synthesis was conducted via electronic databases in the English language using the key words pelviureteric junction obstruction; urolithiasis; hyperoxaluria; laparoscopic pyeloplasty; flexible nephroscopy; percutaneous nephrolithotomy, alone or in combination. Relevant articles were analysed to extract conclusions.
The role of the renin-angiotensin system blocking in the management of atrial fibrillation.

University Department of Medicine, Central Manchester University Hospitals, ManchesterUK.
Objective: To review current available evidence for the role of renin-angiotensin system blockade in the management of atrial fibrillation.
Method: We conducted a PubMed and Medline literature search (January 1980 through July 2011) to identify all clinical trials published in English concerning the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers for primary and secondary prevention of atrial fibrillation. We also discussed renin-angiotensin system and its effects on cellular electrophysiology.
Development, dimensions, reliability and validity of the novel Manchester COPD fatigue scale.

Respiratory Research Group, The University of Manchester, South Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK.
Introduction: Fatigue is a prominent symptom in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and it has distinctive features; however, there is a need for a robust scale to measure fatigue in COPD.
Methods: At baseline, 122 patients with COPD (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) 52%, women 38%, mean age 66 years) completed a pilot fatigue scale covering a pool of 57 items and underwent a range of tests, including indicators of mood and a short general fatigue questionnaire. All patients responded to the 57-item scale and it was readministered to a subset of 30 patients.
