The impact of specialised gastroenterology services for pelvic radiation disease (PRD): Results from the prospective multi-centre EAGLE study. by John N Staffurth, Stephanie Sivell, Elin Baddeley, Sam Ahmedzai, H Jervoise Andreyev, Susan Campbell, Damian J J Farnell, Catherine Ferguson, John Green, Ann Muls, Raymond O'Shea, Sara Pickett, Lesley Smith, Sophia Taylor, Annmarie Nelson

“…All men completed a validated screening tool for late bowel effects (ALERT-B) and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Score (GSRS); men with a positive score on ALERT-B were offered management following a peer reviewed algorithm for pelvic radiation disease (PRD). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at baseline, 6 and 12 months; and healthcare resource usage (HRU) and patient, support-giver, staff experience and acceptability of staff training (qualitative analysis) were assessed. …”

Back pain in therapeutic practice by N. A. Varavin, А. L. Vertkin

“…Back pain is an interdisciplinary medical problem, but, nevertheless, the primary appeal of these patients is to therapists and general practitioners, who are responsible for timely differential diagnosis and prescribing a full range of therapy in cases where back pain is not a manifestation of serious or life-threatening illness. In the vast majority of cases, back pain is non-specific, i.e., its development is not associated with a life-threatening systemic disease or injury. …”
