Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate burnout and resilience levels among medical and dental students at Bahria University Health Sciences in Karachi, focusing on various contributing factors.
- A total of 392 students participated, revealing a significant burnout rate of 38%, with a staggering 80% reporting academic burnout, primarily due to exhaustion.
- Despite high burnout levels, many students displayed strong resilience, indicating effective coping mechanisms; however, factors like living situation, social media use, and financial issues were linked to increased burnout scores.
Objectives: This population-based study aimed to collect, analyze, and summarize the long-term trends in medical imaging use in Taiwan.
Methods: A retrospective cohort population-based study of medical imaging usage for the individuals who received care under the National Health Insurance system from 2000 to 2017. CT and MRI utilization rates were determined overall as well as across certain variables including patient age, hospital type, health care type, hospital characteristics, and geographic area.
Purpose: Few studies have evaluated the prime treatment choice for men older than 80 years with acute vulnerable localized prostate cancer (AV-LPC). Clinicians have been deeply troubled by this near end-of-life medical choice for a very specific group of patients. We compared the oncological prognostication of very old patients with AV-LPC after they underwent either radical prostatectomy (RP) or massive-dose intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) coupled with long-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) over a long-term investigation.

- The study compares long-term medical resource use between radical prostatectomy (RP) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for elderly patients (≥80 years) with high-risk localized prostate cancer.
- Researchers used propensity score matching and advanced statistical models to evaluate differences in post-treatment medical visits, reimbursements for urinary complications, and hospitalizations over a 5-year period.
- Results indicated that patients undergoing IMRT had significantly more urology clinic visits and were more likely to experience treatment-related complications compared to those who had RP, particularly in the first few years post-treatment.
