When Bone Forms Where It Shouldn’t: Heterotopic Ossification in Muscle Injury and Disease Open
Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to the pathological formation of bone in soft tissues, typically following trauma, surgical procedures, or as a result of genetic disorders. Notably, injuries to the central nervous system significantly…

Late recurrence of atrial fibrillation and flutter in patients referred for elective electrical cardioversion Open
Aim The primary aim was to ascertain long-term rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in this all-comer patient population undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (DCR). Secondary aims included procedural DCR success, clinical p…
Left ventricular aneurysm complicating apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Open
A 44-year-old previously well man presented to our emergency department with exertional chest pain. An ECG showed widespread deep T-wave inversion and left ventricular hypertrophy by voltage criteria, [figure 1][1]. High-sensitivity tropon…
Spontaneous reversion of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation detected by smart watch Open
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with heart failure, cardioembolic stroke and increased overall mortality.[1][1] Periodic 24 hours Holter monitoring is traditionally used to assess adequacy o…
Electrical remodelling and response following cardiac resynchronization therapy: A novel analysis of intracardiac electrogram using a quadripolar lead Open
Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy ( CRT ) improves morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure. Although structural remodelling correlates with improved long‐term outcomes, the role of electrical remodelling is poorly…
Staphylococcus aureus urinary tract bacteriuria: single-institutional antibiotic susceptibility trends over a decade Open
Objectives: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a troublesome pathogen which is difficult for clinicians to treat. The purpose of this surveillance program is to assess the prevalence of MRSA urinary tract infections and …
216-70: QRS duration and bundle branch block pattern - Prevalence in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction Open
Purpose of the study: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) and prolonged QRS duration (QRSd) causes dysynchronous contraction of the left ventricle (LV) and is used to select patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) who…

Vancomycin resistant enterococci in urine cultures: Antibiotic susceptibility trends over a decade at a tertiary hospital in the United Kingdom Open
The incidence of vancomycin resistance among urinary isolates was stable over the last decade. Although resistance to nitrofurantoin has increased, it still serves as an appropriate first choice in uncomplicated urinary tract infection cau…
Prevention of sepsis prior to prostate biopsy Open
The scientific literature describes various techniques designed to reduce infective complications caused by prostate biopsy. Clinicians should consider incorporating these novel techniques into their contemporary practice.
