Quantification of training in educational methodology among teachers on the degree course in medicine: a pilot study.

Background: Medical education has undergone significant changes over the last decades. Scientific and technological progress alongside contemporary society's changing requirements have driven demand for highly trained, competent doctors. In response to this need, university faculties of medicine have sought innovative forms of teaching and evaluating the students on their degree courses.

[COVID-19-associated lung weakness (CALW): Systematic review and meta-analysis].

Objectives: To assess mortality and different clinical factors derived from the development of atraumatic pneumothorax (PNX) and/or pneumomediastinum (PNMD) in critically ill patients as a consequence of COVID-19-associated lung weakness (CALW).

Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis.

Setting: Intensive care unit (ICU).

An example of adaptation: experience of virtual clinical skills circuits of internal medicine students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Granada (Spain) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The state of alarm declared in Spain in response to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had far-reaching consequences in all areas of life. At the University of Granada's (UGR) Faculty of Medicine, online teaching was implemented immediately without any preexisting plan. Second-year undergraduates in medicine, particularly those enrolled in the subject 'Bases of Internal Medicine,' would normally undergo clinical skills circuits in face-to-face group settings.

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) secondary to splenic rupture after colonoscopy.

We have read with interest the recently published case on splenic rupture after colonoscopy. Although this complication is being observed more frequently, in the case presented here, the particularity lies in the myocardial ischemia caused as a consequence of stasis at coronary level, determining a situation of extreme gravity, a diagnostic challenge and a therapeutic emergency.

Sequelae, persistent symptomatology and outcomes after COVID-19 hospitalization: the ANCOHVID multicentre 6-month follow-up study.

Background: Long-term effects of COVID-19, also called Long COVID, affect more than 10% of patients. The most severe cases (i.e.

Increasing Levels of Positive End-expiratory Pressure Improve the Left Ventricular Strain.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate possible changes in the left myocardial performance of patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) during ascending levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using speckle-tracking echocardiography.

Materials And Methods: This was an interventional clinical study performed on CS patients under mechanical ventilation. These patients underwent echocardiography after 15 to 30 minutes of progressive increases in PEEP zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) (PEEP 5, PEEP 10, PEEP 15 cm H2O).

Stress echocardiography in patients who experienced mechanical ventilation weaning failure.

Introduction: Critically ill patients may suffer varying degrees of temporary myocardial dysfunction during respiratory weaning that could play an important role in weaning failure.

Objectives: In this study, we tried to assess the existence of temporary diastolic dysfunction during respiratory weaning.

Methods: Inclusion period is from 2006 to 2015.

Ventricular fibrillation in acute myocardial infarction in Spanish patients: Results of the ARIAM database.

Objective: The aim of this study has been to investigate the factors predisposing to primary or secondary ventricular fibrillation (VF) and the prognosis in Spanish patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during their admission to the intensive care unit or the coronary care unit.

Design: A retrospective, observational study.

Setting: The intensive care units and coronary care units of 119 Spanish hospitals.

[Prognostic factors for mortality in out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest].

Background And Objective: Our purpose was to determine the prognostic factors of mortality among patients with cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) assisted by 061 emergency teams in Andalusia.

Patients And Method: Retrospective observational study from January 1998 to December 1999 of 1950 cases of out-of-hospital CRA (OH-CRA) assisted by Andalusian 061 emergency teams (ETs). Independent (predictor) variables considered in the study were those defined in the Utstein style, after categorization.
