I’m shocked Junior Doctors are on a £14 hourly wage? I find that mind blowing, considering I wasn’t far behind that teaching Boxercise classes in the early noughties. Are you shocked by this? The Dr’s pay that is, not the Boxercise? #JuniorDoctorsStrike

I remember some radiologists asking for my GMC number and asking me to type on the request “I take responsibility if contrast causes AKI” as a F2, to get a contrast CT scan done. It’s taken a long time despite the evidence being there for years.

🔥The EAGLE study is out! Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn… By the ESCP EAGLE Safe Anastomosis

Just saw this rectal cancer study in JAMA Oncology – lots to digest. Despite absolute 50% drop (87% to 37%) in use of neoadjuvant RT for lower risk (cT1-3, N0-1, MRF-) rectal cancers from 2011 to 2016, no difference in local recurrence & survival improved. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…

Is the risk of distant metastasis higher in those rectal cancer pts undergoing surgery for local regrowth compare to those undergoing upfront surgery for near complete response after chemoradiation? Find out in #DCRJournal: bit.ly/3RoOL3Z @Swexner SoMe4Surgery @ACPGBI

Organ Preservation and Survival by Clinical Response Grade in Patients With Rectal Cancer Treated With Total Neoadjuvant Therapy: A Secondary Analysis of the OPRA Randomized Clinical Trial | Oncology | JAMA Network Open | JAMA Network jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Important secondary analysis of the OPRA trial with a median f/u of 4 years. This provides important details from a landmark study, and can help guide patient counseling. Of note, it's not broken down to compare induction TNT to consolidation TNT. My analysis is long-winded,

keep your ears open for clinical MD/PhD opportunities in colorectal disease/surgery opening soon in the mersey area. Message for details Dale Vimalachandran
