Aim: To evaluate neuron-specific enolase (NSE) thresholds for prediction of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest and to analyze the influence of hemolysis and confounders.
Methods: Retrospective analysis from a cardiac arrest registry. Determination of NSE serum concentration and hemolysis-index (h-index) 48-96 hours after cardiac arrest.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnostic accuracy is crucial for effective medical decision-making, and this study investigates the role of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) in enhancing medical students' diagnostic skills and confidence.
- The study involved medical students diagnosing cases of tonsillitis and pulmonary embolism, comparing their performance with CDSSs and traditional methods like textbooks in a controlled trial.
- Results showed no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between CDSSs and conventional methods, but students were more confident when diagnosing typical cases compared to atypical presentations.
Aim: Interprofessional collaboration is particularly relevant to patient safety in outpatient care with polypharmacy. The educational project "PILLE" is meant to give medical and pharmacy students an understanding of the roles and competencies needed for cooperation in the provision of healthcare and to enable interprofessional learning.
Method: The curriculum is aimed at pharmacy and medical students and was developed in six steps according to the Kern cycle.
