Enhancing Medical School Student Well-being: A Comprehensive Analysis of Life101 Self-assessment Tool in Pre-clinical Years: Innovations: Utilizing The Life101 Assessment in First Year M.D. Students.

Our study utilized Life101, a new self-assessment inventory, to assess changes in life skill competencies in students over the first year of medical school. Life101 employs nine scales centered around ubiquitous experiences to assess the relationships between beliefs and outcomes. Although not statistically significant, trends were revealed within the data.

Integration of the aSSKINg framework into the electronic patient record: a quality improvement project.

Assessment of pressure ulcer (PU) risk is important in clinical practice and the need to document it in the patient's record is paramount. Despite national and international guidelines highlighting the need to document PU risk, nursing documentation remains variable. The first article in this series discussed the evidence base underpinning the development of clinical guidelines for PUs, alongside the creation of bundle approach for PU prevention.

Cost effectiveness analysis of rotavirus vaccination in Indonesia.

Background: Rotavirus (RV) remains the most common cause of morbidity and mortality due to acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children under five. In Indonesia, RV is responsible for 60 % of severe AGE and 40 % of non-severe AGE in these children. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of introduction of rotavirus vaccines (RVV) into the National Immunization Program in Indonesia.

Total testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, and free testosterone concentrations and risk of primary liver cancer: A prospective analysis of 200,000 men and 180,000 postmenopausal women.

In most countries, males have ~2-3 times higher incidence of primary liver cancer than females. Sex hormones have been hypothesized to contribute to these differences, but the evidence remains unclear. Using data from the UK Biobank, which included ~200,000 males and ~180,000 postmenopausal females who provided blood samples at recruitment, we estimated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for a doubling in hormone concentration from multivariable adjusted Cox regression for circulating total testosterone, sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and free testosterone concentrations and risk of primary liver cancer.
