Do we have a rational treatment plan for stage D-1 carcinoma of the prostate?

In this paper, we review the incidence of increased intracranial pressure in children with single-suture craniosynostosis. The major studies in this area are presented, along with their limitations. A rational treatment plan including multidisciplinary team management is recommended. All patients with proven synostosis should be followed closely, whether or not surgery is chosen. Continued clinical and basic science research are necessary to further clarify the ramifications of asymptomatic elevations of intracranial pressure in these patients.

Structured Approach

SummaryThe discipline of evidence-based prescribing is relatively new to nurses and other non-medical prescribers. The introduction of clinical governance, which emphasises accountability, quality and efficiency, means that it is no longer acceptable to base clinical decisions on personal opinion. Prescribing itself is just one stage in making a rational treatment decision, which requires a fully structured approach. This article will highlight some of the considerations that the prescriber has to take into account, including: the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of treatment options, how to check the evidence, the benefits or harms of a treatment and, the patient's own involvement in the treatment plan.
