Rewarding journeys: exploring medical students' learning experiences in international electives.

International electives are recognized as a high-impact practice in clinical education. However, medical students' actual learning experiences during electives have not been explored fully. Specifically, drawing on language management theory, this exploratory case study investigates students' perceived learning outcomes and the managing processes by which they gained benefits from cross-cultural learning experiences in international electives.

Characteristics of adverse drug reactions associated with antiepileptics at a tertiary children's hospital in Japan: A retrospective observational cohort study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the prescription pattern of antiepileptics and the relationship between antiepileptics and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in a Japanese population.

Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients who visited or were admitted to a single tertiary care center between January 2011 and June 2019, were treated with antiepileptics, and developed allergic ADRs associated with these drugs.

Results: In total, 14,230 unique patients received antiepileptics during the study period.

Identifying challenges in promoting adolescent preventive health care in the primary care setting of urban Japan.

Background: Despite the assurance of free medical access through the universal health insurance system, over the past three decades Japanese youth have experienced an increase in developmental and behavioral problems, psychosomatic disorders, and psychiatric illnesses.

Objectives: To identify the challenges in promoting comprehensive preventive health services to adolescents in Japan, specifically in Tokyo.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted of physicians who are members of the Tokyo Pediatric Association.

Disaster preparedness for technology and electricity-dependent children and youth with special health care needs.

Background: Children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) are complex and often dependent on electrical devices (technoelectric dependent) for life support/maintenance. Because they are reliant on electricity and electricity failure is common, the purpose of this study was to survey their preparedness for electricity failure.

Methods: Parents and caregivers of technoelectric CYSHCN were asked to complete a preparedness questionnaire.
