Catheterized chicken for training on ultrasound-guided vascular access: A simple, cost-effective, and effective model.

Ultrasound-guided vascular access is a medical procedure that is becoming increasingly common in daily practice and is recommended to avoid iatrogenic complications. One of the procedures with a high-risk rate of complications is the vascular puncture. However, training on this technique can be challenging due to the limited availability of simulation models.

Liver histopathological and oxidative stress assessment by a combination of formaldehyde and oxytetracycline in sea bass ( L).

Background: Formaldehyde (FA) and oxytetracycline (OTC) are the chemicals commonly used in aquaculture to prevent or treat fish diseases due to protozoa, parasites, and bacteria.

Aim: The goal of the present study is to assess the liver injury and oxidative stress induced by exposure of sea bass ( L) to therapeutic doses of FA (200 ml.m) and OTC (40 g.

Man-O-War simulator: a Low-cost manikin for training on chest tube management.

Simulation-based medical education is becoming a cornerstone in health education. Simulators are commonly expensive and not available in developing countries. We propose a very low-cost simulator that any educator can realize.

Post-traumatic symptoms in patients with acute coronary syndrome: Maybe an outcome predictor after the ED visit!

Objectives: We aimed to assess the patients' experience of threat during management of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the Emergency Department (ED) and to analyze the impact of this acute stress on day-30 outcomes.

Study Design: This is a prospective study.

Methods: We included patients with ACS in the ED.

Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis after kidney Transplantation: Success of Medical Treatment.

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is an infrequent but serious complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). EPS may become clinically apparent when patients are on PD (classical EPS) or after undergoing kidney transplantation (post-transplantation EPS). This presentation of EPS seems to occur shortly after kidney transplantation in former PD patients.
