Background. Metatarsus adductus is the most common forefoot deformity. Variable prevalence values were reported in literature using different techniques in different populations. Numerous radiological measurements have been proposed to assess this deformity with a paucity of studies reporting the reliability of these methods. The metatarsus adductus angle was shown to correlate with the severity of hallux abductovalgus in normal feet and preselected populations of juvenile
Raised blood pressures (BP) are associated with increased cardiovascular risks such as myocardial infarction, stroke and arteriosclerosis. During surgery the haemodynamic effects of stress are closely monitored and stabilised by the anaesthetist. Although there have been many studies assessing the effects of intraoperative stress on the patient, little is known about the impact on the surgeon. A prospective cohort study was carried out using an ambulatory blood pressure monitor to measure the BP and heart rates (HR) of three consultants and their respective trainees during
