Evaluation of a return to work coordination programme for injured workers in a public hospital in Singapore.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a hospital-based return to work (RTW) programme in facilitating injured workers to RTW earlier through personalised case management. Factors associated with programme effectiveness are also examined. ⋯ The RTW coordination model of care is effective in facilitating RTW, with early programme referral being an important facilitator and WAS as a useful screening tool for delayed RTW.

Restaging of rectal cancer with hybrid positron emission tomography magnetic resonance imaging after preoperative chemoradiotherapy.
This study determines the sensitivity and specificity of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) parameters in predicting treatment response in patients with localised rectal cancer who have undergone preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT). ⋯ Parameters such as percent maximum thickness reduction and percent ADC change may be useful for predicting good responders in patients undergoing preoperative CRT for rectal cancer. Larger studies are warranted to establish the utility of PET/MRI in rectal cancer staging.
