- Urologic emergencies are frequent and often complicated to manage, highlighting the need for effective training methods like simulation-based education (SBE).
- A study in Ethiopia surveyed surgical consultants and residents about their training needs, collecting responses primarily through online platforms, and found strong support for SBE in managing urological emergencies.
- The results indicated a high interest among trainees for a dedicated SBE course, with many participants emphasizing specific topics like acute urinary retention and urologic trauma as critical areas for training.
Background: Physical exercise is a well-established method for managing blood pressure (BP). The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of aerobic, resistance, and a combination of both aerobic plus resistance training on BP, body composition (BC), and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among hypertensive patients.
Methods: The total population was sixty hypertensive patients; of these, forty-eight male adults (45.

At present, only a handful of countries have reduced fertility rates. That is enough to make gains as a result of reduced fertility or to ensure that their population will stabilize unforeseeable future.

Background: Both physical activity and muscle-strengthening activity have known relationships with other health-related variables such as alcohol and tobacco use, diet, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The purpose of this study was to explore and quantify the associations between physical activity measures and health-related variables at the higher state level.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2017 and 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys.
