'NEW' Things:  Eyes on Evidence

April's edition of Eyes on Evidence has been published by NICE. It includes the following item.

CT scans in childhood or adolescence and risk of cancer  - A population-based cohort study in Australia suggests that people who undergo CT scans in childhood or adolescence are at increased risk of developing solid, lymphoid and haematopoietic cancers.

The new evidence presented is by Matthews et al and concludes:

"This analysis should reinforce the legal requirement for healthcare professionals to only perform CT in children when there is a clear patient benefit and that the radiation dose and image quality must be optimised to be consistent with the imaging task." – Mr Matthew Dunn, Head of Radiology Physics, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust

Allison Low presented this very paper at Journal club 3^rd October 2013. Her presentation is available to view here.

Things about Good Friday

• Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday

• The name may be derived from 'God's Friday'

• It is 'good' because the barrier of sin was broken

• It is traditional to eat warm 'hot cross buns' on Good Friday

• The pastry cross on top of the buns symbolises and reminds Christians of the cross that Jesus was killed on.

• The buns were traditionally eaten at breakfast time, hot from the oven. 

• They were once sold by street vendors who sang a little song about them.

 "Hot cross buns, Hot cross buns,

One a penny, two a penny,

Hot cross buns."
