Introduction: A recent study on patients with acute lower limb ischemia showed that the proportion of inadequate examination of lower extremity circulation was associated with higher rate of amputation and death. The aim of this systematic review was to explore evidence for how practical competence in performing a peripheral vascular status of the lower limb among medical students and junior doctors should be taught and examined.
Methods: The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and was published in PROSPERO.
Article Synopsis
- The Roma population, numbering between 10 to 14 million worldwide, faces unique genetic challenges due to a high level of consanguinity, resulting in specific hereditary diseases that are often underdiagnosed.
- Recent clinical evaluations at the ERN CRANIO center in Prague have highlighted various rare genetic disorders, including congenital cataract syndrome and non-syndromic deafness linked to specific genetic mutations.
- This study emphasizes the need for awareness and accurate diagnosis of dental issues that can aid in better treatment and management of these genetic conditions in the Czech Roma community.
Climate change increases the frequency and severity of droughts in many parts of Europe, thereby affecting the availability of water resources. Therefore, preserving the soil water content is essential for maintaining forest diversity and plant vitality. To improve soil hydraulic properties and reduce drought vulnerability, three xanthan-gum-based soil conditioners (SC_R, SC_CG, and SC_ZZC) were developed under the European ONEforest project.

Purpose: To present a case of high-impact perforating eye injury by knife throwing witnessed during a public performance and initially classified as penetrating eye injury.
Observations: During the second reconstructive procedure an exit wound was identified, which had been missed during primary wound repair due to extensive swelling of adjacent soft tissue. The occult exit wound could be sealed and the retina attached under silicone oil.
