Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of examiner pairing on grading variances in the EDAIC Part II examination, focusing on the leniency and strictness of different examiner pairs.
- Utilizing data from 325 examiners over three years, the research reveals that most examiner pairs had only slight differences in scoring, indicating a general consistency in leniency.
- The findings highlight the potential 'hawk-dove effect', suggesting that different examiner combinations can significantly affect candidate performance and outcomes in the exam.
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered transformations in academic medicine, rapidly adopting remote teaching and online assessments. Whilst virtual environments show promise in evaluating medical knowledge, their impact on examiner workload is unclear. This study explores examiner's workload during different European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Part 2 Structured Oral Examinations formats.

This study aimed to evaluate the host reaction of four cultivars (Comum, Xanthi, Samsun, and TNN) and cultivar Comum to and to characterize the symptoms and the parasitism of this nematode.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal anchor placement and trajectory when repairing acetabular labral tears during hip arthroscopy with the primary focus on the 12 to 3 o'clock positions on the acetabular rim.
Methods: Three-dimensional computational models of the pelvis were generated from 13 cadaveric specimens using 3D slicer medical imaging software. A set of cones, consistent with the dimensions of a commonly used sutured anchor, were virtually embedded into the models at the 12, 1, 2, and 3 o'clock positions around the acetabulum.
