Background: Health-care professionals do not routinely receive training on how best to support parents bereaved by suicide. Evidence-based training - Postvention Assisting Those Bereaved by Suicide (PABBS) - was designed to address this gap. Aims: Th...

We report a patient with obesity who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy after pre-operative ultrasound mark up to enable safe port insertion due to presence of venous collaterals in the abdominal wall as a result of congenial IVC anomaly. This... Read More about Ultrasound Guided Laparoscopic Port Placement in a Patient with Congenital Anomaly of IVC Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy..

Diagnostic accuracy of history taking, physical examination and imaging for phalangeal, metacarpal and carpal fractures: a systematic review update. (2020)

BACKGROUND: The standard diagnostic work-up for hand and wrist fractures consists of history taking, physical examination and imaging if needed, but the supporting evidence for this work-up is limited. The purpose of this study was to systematically...

Do Asian Patients Require Only Half of the Clozapine Dose Prescribed for Caucasians? A Critical Overview (2020)
Journal Article
Farooq. (2020). Do Asian Patients Require Only Half of the Clozapine Dose Prescribed for Caucasians? A Critical Overview. Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 4-10. https://doi.org/10.4103/IJPSYM.IJPSYM_379_19

Since 1997, studies have found that Asians need lower clozapine doses than Caucasians. Caucasians with average clozapine metabolism may need from 300 to 600 mg/day to reach the therapeutic range (350 ng/ml). Thus, serum clozapine concentration-to-dos...

In vitro 3D tissue-engineered (TE) structures have been shown to better represent in vivo tissue morphology and biochemical pathways than monolayer culture, and are less ethically questionable than animal models. However, to create systems with even... Read More about Development of a 3D Tissue-Engineered Skeletal Muscle and Bone Co-culture System..

OBJECTIVE: To predict accurately whether a soft tissue mass was benign or malignant and to characterize its type using ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI. We hypothesized that with the addition of shear wave elastography, it would be possibl... Read More about Characterization of soft tissue tumours with ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI.
