Background: The consolidation of new educational paradigms requires the implementation of innovative strategies to transform students into competent professionals.
Objectives: To assess knowledge and satisfaction of medical students before and after the use of a new humanized digital model of active learning, called virtual case-based learning (VCBL).
Methods: This was a descriptive, documentary analysis of the teaching-learning process of medical students.
To investigate the effect of transplantation of stem cells from the bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) associated with 15d-PGJ2-loaded nanoparticles in a rat model of chronic MI. Chronic myocardial infarction (MI) was induced by the ligation of the left anterior descending artery in 40 male Wistar rats. After surgery, we transplanted bone marrow associated with 15d-PGJ2-loaded nanoparticle by intramyocardial injection (10 cells/per injection) seven days post-MI.

- - A study in Brazil was conducted to evaluate how heart failure disease management program (DMP) components affect care and clinical decisions, involving cardiologists surveyed from various public and private centers.
- - Results showed that public HF-DMPs provided significantly more dedicated services, educational programs, written discharge instructions, and multidisciplinary care compared to private DMPs; whereas, non-multidisciplinary programs had fewer educational initiatives and monitoring practices.
- - The survey revealed that physicians often adjusted or started new medications primarily during patient hospitalizations, highlighting the importance of care settings in patient management.
The difficulty in the regeneration of cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction is a major cause of heart failure. Together, the amniotic membrane and 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ) can help in the recovery of cardiomyocyte, as they present many growth factors and anti-inflammatory effect, respectively. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of Human Decellularized Amniotic Membrane Scaffold (AHAS) loaded with 15d-PGJ in improving ventricular function in a rat model of postinfarct ventricular dysfunction.

Information on this delay is scarce, particularly for developing countries. The objective of the study is to prospectively evaluate the individual components of reperfusion time (RT) in patients with STEMI treated at a University Hospital in 2012.
