The terminology and abbreviations used in urologic imaging have generally been adopted on an ad hoc basis by different speciality groups; however, there is a need for shared nomenclature to facilitate clinical communication and collaborative research.
In contrast, with the most common outcome (all clinical samples), 50% reductions could be reliably detected in ∼12 months even in areas the size of speciality groups, and smaller changes of 25% could be detected in 6 12 months in larger hospitals.
Further speciality groups were identified: "Paediatrics", "Psychiatry", "Other Specialities" such as Preventive Medicine, Pathology, and "Speciality not yet decided".
Within the register of the CSP at the time of sampling, there were self-selected clinical speciality groups, one of which was 'musculoskeletal'musculoskeletal
Instead, speciality groups recommend a case-finding strategy whereby general practitioners (GPs) test patients with suspected or observable early signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment [ 6- 10].
Research in other clinical areas has shown that speciality groups favour procedures in which they have a vested interest and even when presented with the same evidence will reach different conclusions than wider multidisciplinary groups (Murphy et al, 1998; Shekelle et al, 1999; Fretheim et al, 2006).
Leverkusen-based speciality chemicals group Lanxess has developed Nanoprene, a new high-performance rubber additive.
A profit warning from speciality chemicals group Elementis saw it plunge nearly 8% to 208.7p.
Elsewhere a profit warning from speciality chemicals group Elementis has seen its shares plunge more than 8% to 207.2p.
But Croda has climbed 43p to £25.99 after the speciality chemicals group reported a 6.6% rise in annual profits.
