Purpose: Examining the impact of scoring aids on the accuracy of assessing the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) in a standardized trauma scenario (primary outcome). Evaluating physicians' understanding of the GCS assessment and clinical application (secondary outcome).
Materials And Methods: This randomized trial was performed at the simulator center of a Swiss tertiary academic medical hospital.
Various stressors contribute to veterinary students' stress levels. According to the medical education literature, students' stress seems to increase during clinical training, but research investigating this in veterinary students is scarce. According to transactional stress theory, individual students may not perceive every stressor as equally stressful.

Article Synopsis
- - An outbreak of a specific drug-resistant bacteria (OXA-23-producing Acinetobacter baumannii) occurred in ICU patients who also had COVID-19.
- - The bacteria likely spread through contaminated surfaces, possibly from a shared positioning pillow used between patients.
- - The rapid transmission may have been driven by healthcare workers' gloves and gowns becoming contaminated with respiratory secretions during patient care.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between self-regulated learning (SRL) and stress among undergraduate health science students during their workplace placements, aiming to understand how each influences the other over time.
- Using a longitudinal diary approach, researchers collected data on 192 students over 15 weeks, examining different SRL aspects (like cognition and motivation) and their connection to perceived stress through statistical models.
- Results indicated that improved SRL aspects in one week tended to lead to lower stress levels in the following week, while stress had a smaller impact on SRL, suggesting a potential causal relationship where better learning strategies can help reduce stress.
