Introduction: Medical simulation is a crucial educational tool for training healthcare professionals, renowned for its effectiveness in learning. However, its application as an assessment tool remains uncommon.

Aim: To evaluate simulation as a tool for assessing training in the management of COVID-19 patients.

Educational effectiveness of simulation in teaching health science students Smoking cessation: A Systematic Review.

Background: Simulation is one of the educational tools that can be used in the learning process to help with smoking cessation.

Aim: To synthesize all the publications studying the contribution of simulation as an educational tool in the acquisition of skills to help with smoking cessation.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of the Francophone and Anglophone literature over the past 24 years (1997 to 2020) using the PubMed, Science Direct and Cochrane Library databases.

Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis in a child with type 1 diabetes: A case report.

Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis is a rare but potentially severe fungal infection in children with high rate of morbidity and mortality. In pediatric patients, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus is considered to be a predisposing factor only in 15% of cases. To prevent and reduce mortality rate of this severe disease, early diagnosis based on clinical findings and biopsy is highly recommended.

Comparison Between Continuous and Intermittent Administration of Hydrocortisone During Septic Shock: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Objectives: The best modality of administration of hydrocortisone during septic shock has been poorly evaluated and the guidelines remain unclear in this respect. This study aimed to compare bolus of hydrocortisone to a continuous infusion during septic shock.

Design: Randomized controlled, open-label trial.

Which indicators used to assess quality performance in Intensive Care Units? A systematic review of medical literature.

Objective: Collect, through a literature review, the indicators recommended for the measurement of performance in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and determine their typology.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted in Medline, using the following search strategy: ("Critical Care"[Mesh] or "Critical Care Nursing"[Mesh] or "Intensive Care Units"[Mesh]) and "Quality Indicators, Health Care"[Mesh] and (hasabstract[text] and "2012/01/01"[PDat]: "2016/12/31"[PDat] AND "humans"[MeSH Terms] and [English(lang) or French(lang)]).

Results: Overall, a total of 176 articles were selected for inclusion, of which 140 articles were available.

Delirium in the Intensive Care Unit: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Impact on Outcome.

Background: The incidence and risk factors for delirium vary among studies.

Objective: We aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, and impact on outcome of delirium in a medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Tunisia using a prospective observational study.

Patients: All consecutive patients admitted to the ICU between May 2012 and April 2013 were included if they were aged more than 18 years and had an ICU stay of more than 24 h.

Study of severe scorpion envenoming following subcutaneous venom injection into dogs: Hemodynamic and concentration/effect analysis.

To evaluate the dose-effects of Androctonus australis hector (Aah) venom injected subcutaneously on hemodynamics and neurohormonal secretions, 10 anesthetized and ventilated mongrel dogs, were split in two groups (n = 5/group). Subcutaneous injection was done with either 0.2 mg/kg or 0.
