Article Synopsis
- Near peer mentorship (NPM) programs aid medical students' well-being, but past studies often overlooked students' motivations for mentoring and the development of clinical skills.* -
- A study from the University of Saskatchewan's PULSE program examined how autonomous motivation in mentoring relates to teaching competence and psychological well-being using self-determination theory.* -
- Results indicated that higher autonomous motivation to mentor correlates with better teaching confidence and increased well-being, suggesting the importance of understanding motivations to design effective NPM programs in medical education.*
Background And Aims: Ultrasound-guided sacral plexus block has been used for anaesthesia and analgesia in lower limb surgeries. This study aimed to compare the block performance characteristics after ultrasound-guided (USG) sacral plexus nerve block (SNB) using the parasacral parallel shift (PSPS) approach versus the classical approach in patients undergoing orthopaedic below-knee limb surgeries.
Methods: In this randomised study, 144 adult patients were randomised to receive USG SNB either by the classical approach (Group C) or the PSPS approach (Group P).
Objective: This prospective observational study explored the effect of early onset hypoalbuminemia (EOH) on the development of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in orthopedic trauma victims.
Methods: Serum albumin levels were measured for the initial 7 days of injury for adult trauma patients (18-65 years). Patients were recruited into group A (any serum albumin value < 3.
Background: Individuals with cancer are being given increasing responsibility for the self-management of their health and illness. In other chronic diseases, individuals who experience treatment burden are at risk of poorer health outcomes. Less is known about treatment burden and its impact on individuals with cancer.

Methods: Prospective study was conducted on COVID-19 patients (n = 40) admitted to hospitals in Saskatoon, Canada, between March and December 2020.
