This study aims to compare the effectiveness of light microscopes and projected images on students' learning and determine medical students' perception of these teaching methods.
Methods: A randomized trial was conducted using a crossover design.
Problem: By 31 December 2021, only 5.5% (861 879/15 670 530) of the Somali population had been fully vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Atrioventricular valve parachute deformity is rare and is generally seen in the mitral position, called the parachute mitral valve.

- Blast and gunshot injuries are a significant cause of vascular trauma, especially in war-torn regions, presenting challenges due to delayed diagnosis and treatment in resource-limited settings.
- A study reviewed 326 patients over five years, finding that the majority were young males, with gunshot wounds being the predominant cause, and most injuries involved the femoral artery.
- The research highlighted the urgency of surgical intervention, noting a median revascularization time of 8.8 hours and a 5.8% mortality rate, with reversed saphenous vein grafts as the most common surgical treatment.
