Challenges facing standardised patients representing equity-deserving groups: Insights from health care educators.

Introduction: Health professions training programmes increasingly rely on standardised patient (SP) programmes to integrate equity-deserving groups into learning and assessment opportunities. However, little is known about the optimal approach, and many SP programmes struggle to meet these growing needs. This study explored insights from health care educators working with SP programmes to deliver curricular content around equity-deserving groups.

Quantitative Data for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Acupuncture Effectiveness in Treatment of Fibromyalgia Syndrome.

. To evaluate the effects of acupuncture and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) applications on the quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) changes and to evaluate their therapeutic effects in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). The study included 42 patients with FMS and 21 healthy volunteers.

Comparison of intravenous pantoprazole and ranitidine in patients with dyspepsia presented to the emergency department: a randomized, double blind, controlled trial.

Background: This study aimed to compare pantoprazole, a proton-pomp inhibitors (PPIs), and ranitidine, a H2 receptor antagonists (H2RA), in ceasing dyspeptic symptoms in the emergency department (ED).

Methods: This randomized, double-blinded study compared the effectiveness of 50 mg ranitidine (Ulcuran(®)) and 40 mg pantoprazole (Pantpas(®)), given in a 100 mL saline solution by an intravenous rapid infusion within 2-4 minutes in patients with dyspepsia presented to the ED. Pain intensity was measured at baseline, 30 and 60 minutes after the drug administration.

Comparison of SVM and ANFIS for snore related sounds classification by using the largest Lyapunov exponent and entropy.

Snoring, which may be decisive for many diseases, is an important indicator especially for sleep disorders. In recent years, many studies have been performed on the snore related sounds (SRSs) due to producing useful results for detection of sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). The first important step of these studies is the detection of snore from SRSs by using different time and frequency domain features.

EEG as a part of the decision-making process in the emergency department.

Study Objective: Although electroencephalography (EEG) is a useful diagnostic tool for patients with a suspected seizure, its value in informing the acute care of patients in the emergency department (ED) remains unclear. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of EEG results on subsequent patient management in or from the ED.

Materials And Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in the ED of a tertiary-care university hospital.
