Abstract:
An Approach to Economic Evaluation in Undergraduate Anatomy Education.
Medical education research is becoming increasingly concerned with the value (defined as "educational outcomes per dollar spent") of different teaching approaches. However, the financial costs of various approaches to teaching anatomy are under-researched, making evidence-based comparisons of the value of different teaching approaches impossible. Therefore, the aims of this study were to report the cost of six popular anatomy teaching methods through a specific, yet generalizable approach, and to demonstrate a process in which these results can be used in conjunction with existing effectiveness data to undertake an economic evaluation. A cost analysis was conducted to report the direct and indirect costs of six anatomy teaching methods, using an established approach to cost-reporting. The financial information was then combined with previously published information about the effectiveness of these six teaching methods in increasing anatomy knowledge, thereby demonstrating how estimations of value can be made. Dissection was reported as the most expensive teaching approach and computer aided instruction/learning (CAI/L) was the least, based on an estimation of total cost per student per year and assuming a student cohort size of just over 1,000 (the United Kingdom average). The demonstrated approach to economic evaluation suggested computer aided instruction/learning as the approach that provided the most value, in terms of education outcomes per dollar spent. The study concludes by suggesting that future medical education research should incorporate substantially greater consideration of cost, in order to draw important conclusions about value for learners.

Abstract:
Osteoarthritis after cold injuries
Frostbite is a thermal injury resulting in localised tissue damage due to inadequate circulation when the ambient temperature is below freezing. Osteoarthritis (OA) can develop after cold injuries. A 30-year old rock-climber presented with clinical and radiological signs of OA in his right middle and ring finger distal interphalangeal joints (DIPJ). He denied any hand trauma but had suffered frostbite to his fingers at the age of 19 during a trip in the Himalayas. Arthrodesis was performed in a functional position for his activities. The exact pathophysiology is unknown, but it is believed that both freezing and rapid rewarming are contributing factors. We postulate that osteoarthritis after frostbite in young adults is more likely to occur as the growth plate is nearing maturity. Initially, the ischaemic insult is partially remedied during reperfusion, but further cartilage damage may continue during the remodelling phase as the young adult continues to be active and the joints are subjected to constant load transmission. This may explain the variability in the timing of clinical presentation with osteoarthritis. Arthrodesis is indicated for symptomatic cases and facilitates continued interest in active sports. Hobbies should be considered in the history, including exposure to extreme weather conditions when young active patients present with OA.

Abstract:
Extranodal lymphomas presenting as soft tissue sarcomas to a sarcoma service over a two-year period.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually presents with lymphadenopathy at multiple sites but can also involve any part of the musculoskeletal system. Occasionally the presentation is with a soft tissue mass. The presentation of large, superficial lymphomatous masses is similar both clinically and radiologically to that of soft tissue sarcomas. The six cases of lymphoma presenting to the Exeter Sarcoma Service as suspected soft tissue sarcomas, over a two-year period (2002-2004), are presented. We describe the clinical and imaging characteristics of these tumours and their subsequent management. Our cases showed variability in presentation. Only one of the six cases presented with pain and one with tenderness. Four of the cases had no lymphadenopathy and the other two had lymphadenopathy restricted to one nodal basin. Overlying soft tissue swelling occurred in four cases and in distal limb swelling beyond the mass in one case. Radiologically, lymphomas are known to be likely to exhibit confluent lymphadenopathy that is rare in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Confluent lymphadenopathy was demonstrated in only one case of this series of patients. It is thought that lymphomas infiltrate across anatomical fascial planes more readily than sarcomas and in four of our six cases this feature was present. Clinical history, examination and MRI are insufficient to differentiate between soft tissue sarcoma and lymphoma and the importance of obtaining a pathological diagnosis prior to surgery is clear. It is crucial to differentiate lymphoma from sarcoma in order to avoid unnecessary excisional procedures in lymphoma patients.

Abstract:
Neurotized free muscle flaps can produce MRI changes mimicking tumour recurrence
Soft tissue sarcomas are investigated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) both for initial staging and follow-up. We describe the presence of increased signal on T2-weighted images caused by a neurotized muscle flap following reconstructive surgery. This raised concern about possible sarcoma recurrence that was not clinically evident. On post-operative imaging of sarcomas the presence of recurrent tumour is indicated by a mass and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. However, high signal changes in skeletal muscle on T2-weighted images are not specific. In this case, the free functioning muscle transfer with neurotization of the flap mimicked recurrence on MR scan. High signal intensity on T2-weighted images in muscle is an indication of either a physiological change or a pathological condition and must be taken in context of the clinical picture. © 2005 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract:
Homeopathic arnica for prevention of pain and bruising: randomized placebo-controlled trial in hand surgery.
Homeopathic arnica is widely believed to control bruising, reduce swelling and promote recovery after local trauma; many patients therefore take it perioperatively. To determine whether this treatment has any effect, we conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial with three parallel arms. 64 adults undergoing elective surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome were randomized to take three tablets daily of homeopathic arnica 30C or 6C or placebo for seven days before surgery and fourteen days after surgery. Primary outcome measures were pain (short form McGill Pain Questionnaire) and bruising (colour separation analysis) at four days after surgery. Secondary outcome measures were swelling (wrist circumference) and use of analgesic medication (patient diary). 62 patients could be included in the intention-to-treat analysis. There were no group differences on the primary outcome measures of pain (P=0.79) and bruising (P=0.45) at day four. Swelling and use of analgesic medication also did not differ between arnica and placebo groups. Adverse events were reported by 2 patients in the arnica 6C group, 3 in the placebo group and 4 in the arnica 30C group. The results of this trial do not suggest that homeopathic arnica has an advantage over placebo in reducing postoperative pain, bruising and swelling in patients undergoing elective hand surgery.

Abstract:
The association between frozen shoulder and Dupuytren’s disease
Fifty-eight patients with the diagnosis of primary frozen shoulder were independently examined by 3 surgeons for evidence of Dupuytren's disease. The disease was found in 52% (30/58) of the patients reviewed. These figures were compared with previously reported figures for a population of similar age. This showed that Dupuytren's disease is 8.27 (95% Cl, 6.25-11.2) times more common in patients with frozen shoulder than in the general population; the difference between the two was highly statistically significant (P <. 001 χ2 test). We discuss the literature on the association between frozen shoulder and Dupuytren's disease and the implications of such a high proportion of patients sharing these two conditions.
