Metaphyseal sleeves in revision total knee arthoplasty provide reliable fixation and excellent medium to long-term implant survivorship
(Elsevier, 2020-02)Addressing bone loss and securing implant fixation can be challenging in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We present the results of a large series of revision TKAs using a metaphyseal sleeve. -
Determination of inclusion depth in ex vivo animal tissues using surface enhanced deep Raman spectroscopy
(Wiley, 2020-01)This work presents recent developments in spatially offset and transmission Raman spectroscopy for noninvasive detection and depth prediction of a single SERS inclusion located deep inside ex vivo biological tissues. The ... -
Diagnostic genetic testing for monogenic diabetes and congenital hyperinsulinemia
(Springer, 2020-01)Monogenic diabetes and hyperinsulinism are genetically heterogeneous disorders. The determination of the genetic etiology defines the diagnostic subtype, predicts prognosis, and importantly can guide clinical management. ... -
Adherence and persistence to direct oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation: a population based study
(BMJ, 2020-01)Despite simpler regimens than vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF), adherence (taking drugs as prescribed) and persistence (continuation of drugs) to direct oral anticoagulants are ... -
Misannotation of multiple-nucleotide variants risks misdiagnosis
(Wellcome, 2020-01)Multiple Nucleotide Variants (MNVs) are miscalled by the most widely utilised next generation sequencing analysis (NGS) pipelines, presenting the potential for missing diagnoses. These variants, which should be treated as ... -
Outcome of weekly carboplatin-paclitaxel-based definitive chemoradiation in oesophageal cancer in patients not considered to be suitable for platinum-fluoropyrimidine-based treatment: a multicentre, retrospective review
(Elsevier, 2020-02)Although cisplatin-fluoropyrimidine-based definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is a standard of care for oesophageal cancer, toxicity is significant and limits its use in elderly and frail patients. Weekly carboplatin-pac ...
