Should ENT out-patients be seen in hospital or General Practitioners' surgeries?

This was a prospective trial involving 1000 consecutive patients attending an ENT out-patient department to assess the degree of investigation and procedures undertaken in routine practice. Results demonstrate that the majority of patients (both new and old) require a procedure which would necessitate either additional staff or equipment if the consultation occurred in a General Practitioner's (GP's) surgery. The results argue against out-patient clinics taking place in a GP's surgery.

Primary malignant melanoma of the pharynx.

A case of primary malignant melanoma of the pharynx is presented. Mucosal melanomas of the upper respiratory tract are rare. They tend to present late and therefore the prognosis is generally poor. The initial mainstay of treatment is adequate surgical resection. Prognostic factors are less well documented than in cutaneous melanoma.

Humans↗

Renal derived epistaxis.
