Objective: To assess the profile of metabolic syndrome (MS) in a hypertensive population in Mali.
Patients And Methods: Prospective study from June 1, 2022 to June 31, 2022, in the cardiology department of the Mother-Child University Hospital in Bamako, Luxembourg. Our study sample consisted of adult hypertensive patients, aged 18 years and older, received as an outpatient.

- * Study Overview: Conducted from 2014 to 2021 at Kati university hospital, the retrospective study included 68 MTEV cases, with a majority (58.8%) being women. Key findings included high clinical probability scores for DVT and significant occurrences of PE.
- * Conclusion on Gender Disparities: The research concluded that women, particularly postpartum, are more affected by MTEV, with a notable recurrence rate and a mortality rate of
Current feedback models advocate learner autonomy in seeking, processing, and responding to feedback so that medical students can become feedback-literate. Feedback literacy improves learners' motivation, engagement, and satisfaction, which in turn enhance their competencies. However, there is a lack of an objective method of measuring medical student feedback literacy in the empirical literature.

The examples are based on simple geometries: two types of germanium detectors and four kinds of sources, to mimic eight typical measurement conditions. The coincidence corrective factors are computed for four radionuclides.

- The study explores the use of stable barium (Ba) sources as substitutes for radioactive iodine (I) in nuclear medicine imaging, aiming to address uncertainties in calibration processes traditionally reliant on liquid radionuclide solutions.* -
- Researchers created and tested multiple traceable Ba sources within various configurations, conducting quantitative SPECT/CT imaging across several member institutions to compare the effectiveness of Ba versus I.* -
- Results indicate that, despite initial differences in calibration performance, a specific cross-calibration method allows Ba sources to effectively serve as surrogates for I, showcasing their potential in improving imaging accuracy and efficiency.*
