Purpose: To report national practices and recent progress in competency-based medical education (CBME) implementation in ophthalmology across European countries.
Methods: A 30-question online survey was emailed to European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) ophthalmology section delegates, European Board of Ophthalmology Diploma (EBOD) examiners and presidents of ophthalmology societies affiliated with UEMS/EBO.
Results: A total of 230 ophthalmologists with an average age of 54.
Objective: This study aims to present and analyze the results of the French cohort in a European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO) survey on cataract surgical training in Europe, highlighting the particularities of French training.
Materials And Methods: A 23-question electronic questionnaire was sent to interns applying for the EBO examination from 2018 to 2022. Responses from French participants were specifically collected and analyzed.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is uncommon in pregnancy but associated with significant mortality. Although controlled studies evaluating therapeutic management of AF in pregnancy are lacking, current guidelines suggest that direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is safe in cases of maternal arrhythmia with hemodynamic compromise. In this report, we discuss a female patient of 22 weeks gestation who presented to the non-obstetric Emergency Department (ED) with acute onset, symptomatic AF.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: This study, part of a series, analyses the Swiss cohort from an EBO survey on cataract surgery training in Europe, focusing on Switzerland's unique program. The survey identifies two models: training all residents in surgery, and a "high-volume surgeon" model where only some learn CS post-residency.
Methods: This study analyses the survey results of Swiss participants in the EBO examinations (2018-2022) and compared them with the most important cohorts (Germany, France and Spain).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how SARS-CoV-2 affects different parts of the body and explores whether the virus itself or the immune response causes these effects.
- Using a PET imaging technique with specific nanobodies, researchers track the distribution of immune cells and virus-infected cells in macaques during an experimental infection by scanning them at various intervals.
- The findings reveal that the nanobodies effectively report on immune responses, showing where virus-related lesions occur and how immune cells are recruited in response to the infection, providing a new way to monitor immune activity in living organisms.
