: Computed Tomography (CT) is crucial in medical diagnosis, particularly for head examinations. Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) are pivotal in balancing diagnostic efficacy with radiation safety. International organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) provide guidelines for establishing DRLs, emphasizing their importance in optimizing radiation doses.

- This study conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing preoperative misoprostol to control treatments in women undergoing abdominal myomectomies, covering data from six databases until April 2024.
- It analyzed 16 trials involving 975 women and found many studies had a low quality or biases, but the results indicated that misoprostol significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss, hemoglobin drop, and the need for blood transfusions compared to control.
- Additionally, misoprostol led to shorter operative times and hospital stays, although there was no significant difference in postoperative fever rates between the two groups.

Introduction: The landscape of medical education has witnessed significant transformations over the past decades, particularly with the advent of active teaching methodologies. However, despite these advancements, the traditional theoretical assessment methods have remained largely unchanged. This lack of evolution in assessment systems poses a challenge as it is crucial for assessment methods to evolve in tandem with teaching approaches to ensure a comprehensive and effective learning process in medical education.

- Recent studies highlight a link between vitamin D levels and male reproductive health, particularly how deficiency can lead to infertility.
- A systematic review of randomized controlled trials found that vitamin D supplementation increased total testosterone levels in men but had no significant impact on other reproductive hormone parameters like free testosterone and FSH.
- The analysis suggests that while vitamin D may boost total testosterone, more well-structured studies are necessary to fully understand its effects on other hormones related to male fertility.*
