TL;DR: The findings indicate no clear evidence of benefit or harm by managing critically ill patients with a PAC, and effectiveness studies are needed to ascertain whether management protocols involving PAC use can result in improved outcomes in specific groups if these devices are not to become a redundant technology.

TL;DR: No survival benefit was observed from this QI programme to implement a care pathway for patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery, and future QI programmes should ensure that teams have both the time and resources needed to improve patient care.

TL;DR: Observations support the view that prolactin is associated with incubation in birds, though the data do not permit a conclusion as to whether an increase in Prolactin secretion causes incubation behaviour or is stimulated by it.

TL;DR: A significant proportion of patients presenting for surgery have experienced a previous cancellation for the same procedure, and bed capacity, including postoperative critical care requirements, are significant risk factors for previous cancellations.

TL;DR: The prevalence of erosion in the maxillary incisors of this sample was higher labially and lower palatally than in previously reported national figures and the risk factors which were investigated were not shown to have any relationship with the presence of erosion.
