TL;DR: Clinical and radiological findings in eight patients with farmer's lung in the acute and sub-acute phases are reviewed, finding the predominant feature is fine nodular shadowing tending to involve either the upper half or upper two-thirds of the lungs with relative sparing of the basal segments.

TL;DR: Early use of ultrasound is suggested in patients with Erb's palsy, as this technique is a safe, quick and reliable method of excluding posterior dislocation.
Abstract: A case is presented of an infant with Erb's palsy whose posterior dislocation of the humeral head was identified using high-resolution ultrasound following non-diagnostic plain radiographs Posterior dislocation is associated with Erb's palsy but the diagnosis can be delayed We suggest the early use of ultrasound in patients with Erb's palsy, as this technique is a safe, quick and reliable method of excluding posterior dislocation

TL;DR: The current study shows that frontal cells might be underreported in the literature, as the prevalence identified is noticeably higher than previous studies.
Abstract: Background. The frontal recess area represents a challenge to ENT surgeons due to its narrow confines and variable anatomy. Several types of cells have been described in this area. The agger nasi cells are the most constant ones. The frontal cells, originally classified by Kuhn into 4 types, have been reported in the literature to exist in 20%–41% of frontal recesses. Aim of the Study. To identify the prevalence of frontal recess cells and their relation to frontal sinus disease. Methods. Coronal and axial CT scans of paranasal sinuses of 70 patients admitted for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were reviewed to identify the agger nasi, frontal cells, and frontal sinus disease. Data was collated for right and left sides separately. Results. Of the 140 sides reviewed, 126 (90%) had agger nasi and 110 (78.571%) had frontal cells. 37 frontal sinuses were free of mucosal disease, 48 were partly opacified, and 50 were totally opacified. There was no significant difference found in frontal sinus mucosal disease in presence or absence of frontal cells or agger nasi. Conclusions. The current study shows that frontal cells might be underreported in the literature, as the prevalence identified is noticeably higher than previous studies.

TL;DR: The UKCRR will be an important pillar in the ongoing efforts to optimise the outcomes of patients undergoing cranioplasty and collect high-quality data about cranioplasties undertaken across the UK and Ireland in order to improve outcomes for patients.
Abstract: Background. The increasing utilisation of decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain injury and stroke has led to an increase in the number of cranioplasties undertaken. Cranioplasty is also undertaken following excision of tumours originating from or invading the skull vault, removal of bone flaps due to post-operative infection, and decompressive craniectomy for the management of rarer causes of brain oedema and/or refractory intracranial hypertension. The existing literature which mainly consists of single-centre, retrospective studies, shows a significant variation in practice patterns and a wide range of morbidity. There also exists a need to measure the outcome as perceived by the patients themselves with patient reported outcome measures (PROMs; functional outcome, quality of life, satisfaction with cosmesis). In the UK, the concept of long-term surveillance of neurosurgical implants is well established with the UK shunt registry. Based on this background, we propose to establish the UK ...

TL;DR: Five ribotype patterns were identified, 2 of which accounted for 90% of all isolates, in agreement with Australian studies which showed a high prevalence of a few ribotypes of B. pseudomallei which are further divisible by genotyping, in areas where melioidosis is endemic.
Abstract: Forty-nine isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei from sporadic cases of melioidosis in Malaysia over the past 18 years were examined by BamHI ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of XbaI digests of total deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Twenty-four patients had septicaemic melioidosis with a mortality of 70%; mortality in the non-septicaemic disease was 16%. Five ribotype patterns were identified, 2 of which accounted for 90% of all isolates. PFGE revealed a number of different strains within these ribotypes, but some pairs of isolates from unrelated cases gave closely similar DNA profiles. These results are in agreement with Australian studies which showed a high prevalence of a few ribotypes of B. pseudomallei which are further divisible by genotyping, in areas where melioidosis is endemic.
