Introduction: There is growing interest among medical institutions to formalize global surgery training. Understanding medical students' perceptions of how global surgery engagement can enhance career advancement is essential for providing appropriate guidance and support for individuals with aspirations in academic global surgery.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey study of US-based medical students from 38 participating schools was performed.
Objective: Profileplasty traditionally involves improving a nasal hump or an underprojected chin. However, this procedure can correct other facial defects like saddle nose or prognathism. To establish the best overall profile, the nose, the midface, and the chin should be considered altogether.

- The FDA's Accelerated Approval (AA) pathway has been used more frequently from 2015 to 2022, with 156 drug-indication pairs receiving approval amidst ongoing debates about its efficacy.
- Pre-approval studies showed a trend towards single-arm designs with a majority being small-scale, while post-approval studies initially decreased in rigor before rebounding in later years.
- The data indicates notable trends, including variations in study designs and participant numbers over the years, suggesting shifts in the FDA's approach to drug approval.
Article Synopsis
- An estimated 5 billion people worldwide do not have access to safe surgical care, highlighting the need for increased interest in global surgery among medical students.
- A survey of 708 medical students across 38 US institutions revealed that 34.6% expressed interest in global surgery, with demographic factors like Hispanic/Latino ethnicity and birthplace influencing this interest.
- Prior experience in low or middle-income countries, along with public health and international service activities, were significant predictors of students' interest in global surgery, suggesting that medical educators should enhance global health opportunities for students.
Background: Kinetic and kinematic gait analysis is increasingly practised as a part of lameness evaluation in dogs. The aim of this study was to examine the normal short- and long-term variation in forelimb gait in sound control dogs (CD) at a walk using seven selected variables of objective kinetic and kinematic gait analyses. Also, to compare the findings in CD to a group of forelimb lame dogs with elbow osteoarthritis (OAD).
