INTRODUCTION An increased risk of vertebral fracture (VF) is one of the extra-articular manifestations of spondyloarthropathy (SpA). The prevalence of moderate to severe VFs visualized by radiography (Rx) in patients with SpA in daily practice is unknown until imaging of the full spine is available, as most VFs do not present with clinical signs and symptoms of an acute fracture. METHODS We e...

Introduction The Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast provides the regional neuroendovascular service for Northern Ireland and was an enrolling centre for the ESCAPE endovascular stroke trial. Our aim was to assess outcomes for patients presenting with acute stroke following discontinuation of trial enrolment at our centre. Methods We collected data on all patients presenting with acute stoke bet...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate crystalline silica as a human carcinogen.

This work reports on the performances of a fully-discrete hp-adaptive entropy stable discontinuous collocated Galerkin method for compressible Naiver–Stokes equations. The resulting code framework is denoted by SSDC, first S entropy, second stable, and DC collocated. endowed with summation-by-parts property, allows arbitrary spatial temporal order, implemented in an unstructured high performanc...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To involve stroke patients and carers in the design of a study of oxygen supplementation in acute stroke and to obtain their views on the importance of the study, consent issues, relevance, and acceptability of the outcome measures, and the preferred method of follow-up. METHODS This study involved qualitative and quantitative research. Three focus group meetings were h...
