Pathology students' perceptions of virtual learning: A case study of students in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Pathology laboratory classes are traditionally conducted using a conventional light microscope. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and recent technological advances necessitated remote learning through online classes using virtual slides (VS) instead of glass slides (GS).

Aim: The purpose of this study was to gauge the perception of learning pathology using virtual slides (VS) as opposed to glass slides (GS) for medical students in Saudi Arabia.

Vaginal preparation with different antiseptic solutions before cesarean section for preventing postoperative infections: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Aims: We aimed to investigate the effect of various vaginal wash solutions on reducing risks of post-cesarean endometritis, wound infections, fever, and hospital stay duration.

Methods: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized clinical trials that compared different vaginal wash solutions to each other or to "no vaginal cleaning"; without restriction on the age of parturients or site where trials were conducted. We analyzed this frequentist network meta-analysis using the netmeta package in R software version 4.
