Digital vs formal teaching of vaginal breech delivery: Which is the residents' choice?
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving residents' training in managing breech deliveries, a critical skill in obstetrics, especially as vaginal deliveries of breech cases decline in favor of cesarean sections.
- A randomized controlled trial was conducted where obstetrics residents were divided into two groups: one received a formal lecture while the other used digital materials for home learning, with both groups evaluated through a simulation test.
- Results showed no significant differences in performance based on the type of learning, although the digital group scored slightly higher in some questionnaire aspects, indicating that both learning methods are effective in training for vaginal breech deliveries.
Ion channels in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) play a main role in controlling the interstitial fluid composition and cerebral blood flow, and their dysfunction contributes to the disruption of the BBB occurring in many neurological diseases such as epilepsy. In this study, using morphological and functional approaches, we evaluated the expression and role in the BBB of Kv7 channels, a family of voltage-gated potassium channels including five members (Kv7.1-5) that play a major role in the regulation of cell excitability and transmembrane flux of potassium ions.

In the hunt for novel antibiotics of interest to treat polymicrobial diseases, molecules bearing guanidine moieties have recently come to the fore in designing and optimizing antimicrobial agents. Due to their remarkable antibacterial and antifungal activities, labdane diterpenes are also attracting increasing interest in antimicrobial drug discovery.

Background And Purpose: The human auditory system develops early in fetal life. This retrospective MR imaging study describes the in vivo prenatal anatomic development of the transverse temporal gyrus (Heschl gyrus) site of the primary auditory cortex.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred seventy-two MR imaging studies of the fetal brain (19-39 weeks' gestational age) acquired from a single institution's 1.
