Article Synopsis
- ATLS is a crucial training program for trauma assessment, and while VR training has shown success in other medical fields, its application for ATLS specifically is less studied.
- A pilot study involved 56 advanced medical students to compare VR simulation training against traditional methods, assessing feasibility, effectiveness, and user acceptance throughout the ATLS course.
- The results indicated high feasibility for the VR training, with very few interruptions, and aimed to evaluate improvements in student confidence, knowledge retention, and overall satisfaction with the training method.
Control of tumour development and growth by the immune system critically defines patient fate and survival. What regulates the escape of colorectal tumours from destruction by the immune system remains currently unclear. Here, we investigated the role of intestinal synthesis of glucocorticoids in the tumour development during an inflammation-induced mouse model of colorectal cancer.

- The study aimed to evaluate a COVID-19 online forward triage tool (OFTT) by examining its quantitative effects and qualitative utility during the pandemic.
- A total of 6,272 users accessed the OFTT, with 40.2% indicating they would have contacted a healthcare provider without it, while 84.7% followed the tool's recommendations and 41.5% felt less anxious after using it.
- Qualitative analysis revealed seven key themes about the tool's accessibility, user-friendliness, information utility, and its role in decision-making and reducing healthcare system pressure.
Usage-based theories of language acquisition are thought to rely on domain-general learning mechanisms, such as mastering familiar routines by rote before generalizing to novel unfamiliar instances. If so, then the role of familiarity should extend to non-linguistic domains, like music. The purpose of the present study was to test the role of familiarity in children's learning of affective meaning of music.

Methods: An Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved the randomized prospective double-masked trial of 50 patients with Demodex positive blepharitis. All subjects were given an in-office MBE treatment and randomized to masked lid scrubs (terpinen-4-ol or sham) twice daily for 1 month.
