Women with female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) often suffer from physical and psychosexual problems related to FGM/C. As gatekeepers to the medical system, GPs are often the first to be consulted about these problems. It is as yet unknown if, and to what extent, Dutch GPs identify women with FGM/C or related health problems.

To investigate how often Dutch GPs register FGM/C and related health problems.

A case-control study of anonymised patient records was performed in the Netherlands.

Medical records were checked for information on country of origin. Records of women, aged ≥15 years, from countries where FGM/C is practised were compared with those of a case-control.

Although many migrants were registered with the participating GPs, information on country of origin was seldom recorded. Only 68 out of 16 700 patients were identified as women from countries where FGM/C is practised; 12 out of these 68 records contained information about the FGM/C status, but none on the type of FGM/C. There were no significant differences in health problems related to FGM/C between patients with FGM/C and the controls.

FGM/C may be a blind spot for GPs and registration of information on migration background could be improved. A larger sample in a future study is needed to confirm this finding. Given the growing global migration, awareness and knowledge on FGM/C, and other migration-related health issues should be part of GP training.

As part of the BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography programme students learn and undertake research relevant to their development as first post radiographers (dose optimisation and image quality) within the Research-Informed Teaching experience (RiTe). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the delivery of RiTe to our year 2 students was moved to an online format using Microsoft Teams and Blackboard Collaborate and focused on a key area of current practice - COVID-19 and chest X-ray imaging. Within RiTe students are placed into collaborative enquiry-based learning (CEBL) groups to share tasks, but to also support and learn from one another.

An online survey was used to explore the year 2 student cohort task value and self-efficacy of this online version of RiTe.

A 73% (32/44) response rate was achieved. Students found the online version of RiTe to be a positive learning and development experience. There was strong agreement that they not only found it relevant to their area of practice (task-value), but also strongly agreed that they understood and could master the skills taught (self-efficacy).

This online version of RiTe was effectively structured to help scaffold student learning and development of research data analysis skills despite the lack of face-to-face teaching. The students also valued the topic area (COVID-19 and chest X-ray imaging). Orelabrutinib A blended learning approach with RiTe will be used next year with a combination of collaborative online teaching and physical data collection and analysis in the university-based X-ray imaging laboratory. Further evaluation and data collection will also be undertaken.

University-based empirical work in groups to learn about research can be replaced by an online mechanism whilst still maintaining task-value and acceptable self-efficacy.

Preoperative diagnosis of No.10 lymph nodes (LNs) metastases in advanced proximal gastric cancer (APGC) patients remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to develop a CT-based radiomics nomogram for identification of No.10 LNs status in APGCs.

A total of 515 patients with primary APGCs were retrospectively selected and divided into a training cohort (n=340) and a validation cohort (n=175). Total incidence of No.10 LNM was 12.4% (64/515). CT based radiomics nomogram combining with radiomic signature calculated from venous CT imaging features and CT-defined No.10 LNs status evaluated by radiologists was built and tested to predict the No.10 LNs status in APGCs.

CT based radiomics nomogram yielded classification accuracy with areas under ROC curves, AUC=0.896 and 0.814 in training and validation cohort, respectively, while radiomic signature and radiologist' diagnosis based on contrast-enhanced CT images yielded lower AUCs ranging in 0.742-0.866 and 0.619-0.685, respectively. In the specificity higher than 80%, the sensitivity of using radiomics nomogram, radiomic signature and radiologists' evaluation to detect No.10 LNs positive cases was 82.8% (53/64), 67.2% (43/64) and 39.1% (25/64), respectively.

The CT-based radiomics nomogram provides a promising and more effective method to yield high accuracy in identification of No.10 LNs metastases in APGC patients.

There are conflicting data regarding the relationship between pathologic complete response (pCR) and post-operative complications following rectal cancer resection. The objective of this study was to compare the rates of morbidity among pCR patients and non-pCR patients and to identify factors that predict pCR morbidity in a large national database.

This is a retrospective study using American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) targeted proctectomy data (2016-18). Patients with neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by proctectomy were included, and divided into pCR and non-pCR groups according to final stage. The groups were compared with Student's t-test, Chi-squared or Fisher's exact test. Multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to estimate the association between pCR status and post-operative morbidity while adjusting for key covariates.

244 pCR and 1656 non-pCR patients were included. pCR patients had higher body mass index (28.1±6.2 vs.
