The Challenges of Visualisation During Delivery and Assessment of Clinical Teaching Under COVID-19: A Reflective Account of Problem Solving.

Whilst the in-person clinical immersion of students in their final years of medical programmes was relatively protected from the impact of COVID-19, the ability to deliver in-person clinical teaching was restricted or heavily altered for early-year students. Our challenge as a 3-year BSc (Hons) in Medicine programme at the University of St Andrew's School of Medicine was to continue to immerse and engage students in their clinical training when in-person access to the authentic environment was impossible, restricted, or completely altered from the original image held by students.In this chapter, we aim to discuss the problems faced, the solutions considered within the contextual restraints and then reflect on the successes and failures of the approaches we took in aiding students to visualise themselves in the clinical environment, or when using altered delivery modes that introduced radically different optics on the learning experience.

The Latest Treatment Interventions Improving Mental Health Outcomes for Women, Following Gender-Based Violence in Low-and-Middle-Income Countries: A Mini Review.

Gender-based violence (GBV), specifically violence against women, is a worldwide pandemic. Prevalence is further escalated in low-and-middle-income countries and in humanitarian crises. Survivors are left with a combination of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety.

Diagnosis and outcome of dextrocardia diagnosed in the fetus.

A retrospective review of 5,539 fetal echocardiograms over a 22-year period revealed 85 cases of dextrocardia. In primary dextrocardia (46 cases), the incidence of situs solitus, inversus, and ambiguous, was similar and associated with a high incidence of complex cardiac malformations in situs solitus and situs ambiguous. Secondary dextrocardia (39 cases) was due to intrathoracic displacement and, when caused by diaphragmatic hernia, was associated with cardiac malformations in 31% of cases.
