- This study introduces an affordable simulation model for lateral canthotomy to enhance training for emergency medicine physicians.
- Pre- and post-training surveys of 15 emergency residents showed a significant increase in comfort and proficiency in performing the procedure, with average comfort levels rising from 2.4 to 3.87.
- These results suggest that the simulation model effectively improves readiness for this critical procedure, potentially leading to better patient outcomes in emergencies.
Article Synopsis
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder, and this study focused on its prevalence among medical students at the University of Sharjah, UAE.
- The study used a questionnaire to assess 471 students, revealing a 17.3% prevalence of IBS, with stress, anxiety, and smoking identified as significant predictors.
- The researchers recommend developing screening programs for IBS, promoting stress management strategies, and conducting further studies in the general UAE population to understand IBS better.
The welfare of donkeys remains a compelling subject for researchers, with limited literature available on the response of the donkey cardiovascular system during strenuous exercise. The study aimed to address two primary objectives. Firstly, to assess the reliability of wearable devices in detecting heart rate (HR) and ECG readings.
