I can\u2019t remember when the New England Journal last published a paper<\/a> from a team of British gynaecologists, so the REST group from Scotland will have had something to celebrate this Burns\u2019 Night. \"More...\"They have shown that uterine artery embolisation<\/a> can be an effective alternative to open surgery for uterine fibroids<\/a>, and appears to be safe, even though it disrupts the blood supply of the entire uterus and vagina.
\nRaise drams, ye Scottish surgeons all
\nDevote to Gynaecologie<\/em>!
\nYour Art can stall the Fibroid <\/em>ball:
\nI hae a mind to follow ye!

\nWrang-headed surgeons! Wraitchit assies!
\nSich is nae work for man nor poet.

\n<\/em> <\/em>Multiple sclerosis<\/a> remains a slippery eel: many people have a suspicious episode, a magnetic resonance scan showing a couple of spots, and then nothing. Can we use antimyelin antibodies<\/a> to predict which ones will get progressive disease? The answer from this multinational European study<\/a> is a firm no.
\nAll you need to know about in vitro fertilisation<\/a> in five pages and a big picture.
\nIf you teach medical students<\/a>, even occasionally, it\u2019s well worth taking some time to read through this very useful summary<\/a> of what we know about assessment methods in medical education<\/a>. It\u2019s the same over there as it is over here: MCQs to show what they know, OSCEs to show what they can do, and portfolios to pass the time of day.
