Design and development of an arena blended connected learning model for faculty development in health professions education: A step forward.

Current medical education and clinical practice has led to a need for advanced faculty development for medical teachers to effectively play the role of educators, researchers and administrators. There is large variability in the teaching programmes across countries, which range from a one-time activity to regularly scheduled workshops and seminars, to a highly advanced course spanning a few months to a year. Several healthcare institutes around the world offer faculty training programmes in health professions education, where the curriculum varies in design as they are developed and implemented by their own institutional body or education unit.

Superficial versus deep parasternal intercostal plane blocks: cadaveric evaluation of injectate spread.

Background: Deep and superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks provide anterior chest wall analgesia for both breast and cardiac surgery. Our primary objective of this cadaveric study was to describe the parasternal spread of deep and superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks. Our secondary objectives were to describe needle proximity to the internal mammary artery when performing deep parasternal intercostal plane blocks, and compare lateral injectate spread and extension into the rectus sheath.

Intralabial Lip Compartments and Their Potential Clinical Relevance.

Background: Aesthetic soft-tissue filler injections for lip enhancement are popular and performed throughout the world. When injecting lips with a cannula, as the cannula is advanced, resistance is perceived in consistent locations, potentially indicating boundaries between intralabial compartments.

Objective: We aimed to investigate whether intralabial compartments exist and, if so, to describe their volumes, location, boundaries, and dimensions.
