Student Carers in Higher Education Institutions: A Scoping Review Protocol.

Student carers in higher education institutions (HEIs) is an emerging policy issue in many countries. Researchers have sought to synthesise the literature on student carers in HEIs. Runacres (2024) conducted a scoping review, which included 14 studies, and Knopf (2022) conducted a systematic review of university students who are caring for an older adult, which included six studies.

Patient Safety: Developing and Evaluating a Workshop for Preclinical Students.

Background: Patient safety is a core feature of undergraduate medical education, yet literature shows its implementation in curricula to be challenging and variable. Through the pilot and evaluation of an 'Introduction to Patient Safety' workshop, this project presents an initiative of how to address this curriculum challenge. Student-patient collaboration was championed in workshop design and delivery, addressing a regrettable lack of patient involvement to-date.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients With Cardiogenic Shock and Clinically Significant Valvular Heart Disease: From the Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) can be complicated by severe valvular heart disease (VHD). We analyzed cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) admissions according to VHD status.

Methods And Results: The Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network is a multicenter network of tertiary CICUs.

Single Bruise Characteristics Associated With Abusive vs Accidental Injury.

Objectives: The TEN-4-FACESp bruising clinical decision rule (BCDR) is a validated screening tool utilizing information about a child's body region bruised, age, and pattern of bruising to predict abuse in children younger than 4 years of age. Our objectives were to (1) evaluate the accuracy of the BCDR in predicting abuse when only 1 bruise was present and (2) identify other characteristics differentiating abusive from accidental injury in young children with a single bruise.

Methods: Patients included in this secondary analysis were those from the BCDR validation study whose only skin finding was a single bruise (including petechiae, subconjunctival hemorrhage, or frenulum injury).
