Implementation of a Medical Ethics Course in Undergraduate Dental Education and Assessment of Knowledge and Attitudes.

Objectives: A medical ethics course was launched in 2012 in a French University Dental School. We compared knowledge and attitudes, before and after implementation of that course. The aim of this study was to compare students who received an ethics course (third year) to those who did not have such training, however, most of them did have some clinical traineeship.

Residual pulmonary vascular obstruction and recurrence after acute pulmonary embolism. A single center cohort study.

Introduction: Up to 50% of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) present lung perfusion defects after six months of anticoagulant treatment, suggesting residual pulmonary vascular obstruction (RPVO). The risk of recurrence in patients with RPVO remains unknown. The present study aims to assess the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with RPVO after a first symptomatic episode of PE.

Immediate hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast media: diagnostic accuracy of skin tests and intravenous provocation test with low dose.

Background: The diagnosis of HSR to iodinated contrast media (ICM) is challenging based on clinical history and skin tests.

Objective: This study evaluates the negative predictive value (NPV) of skin tests and intravenous provocation test (IPT) with low-dose ICM in patients with suspected immediate hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) to ICM.

Methods: Thirty-seven patients with suspected immediate hypersensitivity reaction to ICM were included retrospectively.
