Objectives: To assess whether men and women are evaluated and treated differently by medical students.
Methods: We evaluated patient care provided by 110 fifth-year medical students during an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), using two clinical cases with standardized patients (SPs): generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and ascending aortic dissection (AAD). Half of the students encountered male and half female SPs.

- Neonatal transport is crucial for specialized care, with a study analyzing over a year of data from a Swiss network to assess transport needs and staff requirements.
- Out of 565 admissions, 176 (31.2%) patients were transferred emergencies to a higher-level neonatology unit, primarily due to respiratory issues in 71.6% of cases.
