Article Synopsis
- Team-Based Learning (TBL) is gaining traction in educational research, focusing on its effectiveness, the groups that benefit most, and the elements that are studied the most and least.
- An extensive review examined 23 studies from 2013-2024, revealing a significant spike in research in 2022, particularly from the U.S. and China, indicating TBL enhances cognitive outcomes and clinical performance while its effects on retention are mixed.
- Freshmen, academically weaker students, and nursing students notably benefit from TBL; however, faculty face a temporary increase in workload and development opportunities remain limited.
Background And Aim: Benign prostatic hypertrophy or hyperplasia (BPH) is a frequent urological complain particularly in old-aged individuals. Those patients usually have other risk factors (such as ischemic cardiovascular diseases) for which they might be treated with anti-thrombotic agents chronically. These medicines may induce blood thinning and raise the incidence of hemorrhage.

- The study evaluated treatment options (systemic, local, and a combination of both) for venous leg ulcer infections by analyzing patient records, revealing that the combination treatment (SLABG) significantly outperformed the others in multiple healing-related outcomes.
- Key findings showed that SLABG led to better healing rates, reduced chances of ulcer recurrence, and lower risks of complications like abscesses and septicemia, while also enhancing patient satisfaction and reducing hospitalization costs.
- However, the study noted a six times higher probability of bacterial resistance with the combination treatment compared to local antibiotics alone, suggesting that while SLABG is effective, it may also raise concerns about antibiotic resistance.
