Knotless Suture Repair For Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: A Systematic Review and Single-Arm Meta-Analysis

Introduction There is a need to assess the use of knotless sutures in cohorts with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods A literature search of Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Scopus was conducted from each database’s inception to August 15, 2025. Eligible studies r...

Successful treatment of an aggressive vertebral haemangioma with radiofrequency ablation and laminectomy: a case report

Background and Importance Aggressive vertebral haemangiomas are rare, hypervascular spinal tumours that can extend beyond the vertebral body, causing spinal cord compression and neurological deficits. These lesions are particularly challenging to manage due to high intraoperative...

History repeats itself: Sister anaesthetists in the Second World War – Lessons from the past

During the Second World War, acute shortages of medically qualified personnel prompted Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge to train experienced nursing sisters to administer anaesthetics. Drawing on material from the Addenbrooke’s archives, personal memoirs of participants, records...

Sequential evaluation of a robotic dry-bone resection system using virtual model control with integral control: an exploratory benchtop study

Abstract Virtual model control (VMC) provides compliant trajectory execution, but sustained contact loads can produce residual positional error. This study evaluated the sequential development of VMC augmented with integral control for powered dry-bone resection and assessed the...

GPR35-positive mast cells are enriched in primary sclerosing cholangitis and show an enhanced secretory phenotype

OBJECTIVE: dependent mast cell biology relevant for cholangitis and biliary fibrosis. METHODS: knockdown were determined by DESeq2 and gene set enrichment analysis. Selected cytokines, TNFα and IL13, were measured by qRT-PCR and ELISA. Mast cell-cholangiocyte interaction was stud...

Investigating the clinical utility of plasma succinate with insights from a Sdhb deficient murine model

Abstract The succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme composed of four subunits (A-D) has a key role in the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Germline pathogenic variants (GPV) in the genes encoding the four subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme (SDHA/SDHB/SDH...

Addressing evidence gaps in haemodialysis care: a critical review of clinical trials, technological innovations, and implementation priorities

Kidney failure treated with maintenance haemodialysis (HD) carries high risks of premature mortality, hospitalisation and impaired quality of life, yet important evidence gaps persist across routine HD care. The Dialysis Research Innovation Network, part of the UK Kidney Research...

Arthroscopic Bankart Repair With Hill‐Sachs Remplissage Shows Low Recurrence and Excellent Outcomes for Primary and Revision Surgery at Midterm Follow‐Up

Purpose To assess midterm outcomes, including recurrence and patient‐reported measures, after arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage in both primary and revision cases. Methods A retrospective, single‐surgeon review was performed on patients who underwent arthroscopic Banka...

A reusable model of pangenome selection informs optimal surveillance strategies over vaccine introductions

Abstract Background The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of disease, including pneumonia and meningitis. The introduction of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines (PCVs) initially reduced the burden of disease through a reduction of colonisation by vaccine-targe...

Hip and groin pain in physically active adults with a focus on terminology, clinical examination and imaging: A formal ESSKA‐EHPA‐ESMA Consensus

Abstract Purpose This European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy–European Hip Preservation Associates–European Sports Medicine Association (ESSKA‐EHPA‐ESMA) formal consensus aims to provide evidence‐ and expert opinion‐based recommendations for the term...

Multi-stromal organoid co-culture modelling reveals epithelial–fibroblast heterogeneity in pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis

Abstract Interactions between epithelial cells and fibroblasts influence disease progression and treatment response in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). While the diversity of fibroblasts in PDAC is increasingly recognized, it remains unclear how these cells differ from fi...

Guidance for laboratory implementation, governance and continuous assurance of artificial intelligence in histopathology

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming histopathology, with applications ranging from workflow optimisation and quality assurance to tumour diagnosis, grading, biomarker assessment and estimation of prognosis. While numerous AI algorithms have demonstrated...

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Adjuvant and Neo-Adjuvant Therapies Background Conventional immunotherapy strategies have shown limited efficacy in oesophagogastric adenocarcinomas compared to other solid tumours. CLDN18.2-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) and...

Clinical outcomes of minimally invasive liver resection in patients with cirrhosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Backgrounds/Aims: The impact of cirrhosis on outcomes following minimally invasive liver resection (MILR) remains debated. This meta-analysis evaluates the effect of cirrhosis on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing MILR. Methods: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web...

Management of high-risk (B3) breast lesions in symptomatic practice: evidence review and practical recommendations for multidisciplinary care

Borderline breast lesions (B3 lesions, also termed lesions of uncertain malignant potential or high-risk lesions) represent a heterogeneous group of entities associated with variable risks of malignancy. While the management of screen-detected B3 lesions has become increasingly s...

Mapping basal ganglia circuitry in altered states of consciousness: from pathology to pharmacology

The precise neuromodulatory mechanisms underlying consciousness and its disorders, despite growing evidence in both animals and humans, remain poorly understood at the subcortical level. The basal ganglia, a key component of the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop, are kn...
