Background: While the hidden curriculum (HC) is becoming recognized as an important component of medical education, ideal methods of assessing the HC are not well known. The aim of this study was to review the literature for methods of assessing the HC in the context of healthcare education.
Methods: We conducted a scoping review on methods to measure or assess the HC in accordance with the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis.
Introduction: Interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) is a known treatment for vaginal recurrence of endometrial cancer. This study reviews a large tertiary institution's ISBT experience and outcomes for vaginal recurrences.
Material And Methods: Patients who underwent salvage ISBT for vaginal recurrence of endometrial cancer from January 1, 2014 to August 31, 2021, were identified.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients who survive cardiogenic shock (CS) with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) based on data from a single-center shock registry.
- Among 520 patients treated for CS, 185 (35.6%) had HFrEF upon discharge, with a median age of 64 years; 41% experienced shock due to acute myocardial infarction, while the rest had heart failure-related shock.
- At discharge, a substantial portion of patients were prescribed GDMT, including beta-blockers (78%), ACE inhibitors/ARBs (58%), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (55%), yet 10
