Abstract Aim Accurate and comprehensive operation notes are crucial for patient safety, quality assurance medico-legal purposes. Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures. Thus, operative documentation should be precise standardised. The GROIN project aims to improve inguinal using an evidence-based proforma note composition software. Methods We retrospectively review...

Blazars exhibit flares across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Many γ-ray flares are highly correlated with flares detected at longer wavelengths; however, a small subset appears to occur in isolation, with little or no correlated variability at longer wavelengths. These “orphan” γ-ray flares challenge current models of blazar variability, most of which are unable to reproduce this type of ...

We report on the multi-wavelength observations of PKS 1510-089 (a flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) at z = 0.361) during its high activity period between 2008 September and 2009 June. During this 11 month period, the source was characterized by a complex variability at optical, UV, and γ -ray bands, on timescales down to 6–12 hr. The brightest γ -ray isotropic luminosity, recorded on 2009 March...
