Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasound in Adult Appendicitis. A Retrospective Review of 331 Cases

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The sensitivity of ultrasound in the detection of appendicitis had a prevalence of 16% in our predominantly young female cohort, with alternative gynaecological and abdominal diagnoses identified approximately 2:1. The sensitivity for ultrasound to detect appendicitis was 60%, with specificity of 98% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 93%.

The Role of Language in Shaping Cultural Perceptions Within Healthcare and Supporting Neurodivergent People's Well‐being and Access to Care: Focus on Autistic Experiences

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Chronic stigmatisation and social exclusion of neurodivergent people have resulted in poorer quality of life and adverse health outcomes. Language has been weaponised and has furthered their suffering and isolation. With this paper, we propose some considerations of optimal communication interactions in healthcare with neurodivergent people, in general,

Compliance With NICE Guidance for Cervical Spine Trauma Imaging: A Single Centre Retrospective Evaluation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study found that only two‐thirds of patients were managed in accordance with national guidance for C‐spine trauma, with younger patients more likely to have X‐rays rather than CT. Inappropriate imaging carries radiation dose implications and delays in care with subsequent risks, particularly where immobilisation is utilised.
