Accuracy of cross-table lateral knee radiography for evaluation of joint effusions.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to investigate the efficacy of cross-table lateral knee radiography in the diagnosis of knee effusions compared with an MRI reference standard, to evaluate reader experience in effusion assessment, and to ... Read more...

Tracheal intubation with restricted access: a randomised comparison of the Pentax-Airway Scope and Macintosh laryngoscope in a manikin.

29 Sep 2009 SUMMARY: Ten anaesthetists assessed the ease of tracheal intubation (time to see the glottis, to intubate the trachea and to ventilate), using the Pentax Airway Scope and Macintosh laryngoscope in a manikin, in three simulated circumstances of ... Read more...

Renal impairment of pure autonomic failure.

6 Sep 2009 Supine hypertension is difficult to manage in patients with pure autonomic failure (PAF), because treatment can worsen orthostatic hypotension. Supine hypertension in PAF has been associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, but end organ damage in ... Read more...
