Introduction: Postgraduate medical education (PGME) relies on structured training rotations and workplace-based learning (WBL) to provide comprehensive clinical training and professional development. Emphasizing WBL, PGME integrates theoretical knowledge with practical skills through direct patient care involvement, underscoring the pivotal role of training institutes in supporting these initiatives. While curricular changes in PGME have been extensively studied in clinical teaching hospitals, PGME programs in public health (PGME-PH) remain underexplored, yet their multidisciplinary nature post-COVID-19 underscores the urgency for effective curricular reforms.

This study aimed to investigate the incidence of cardiac toxicity associated with trastuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer patients at Iran Hospital in 2023, as well as the factors influencing this toxicity. In this cross-sectional study, 200 patients diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer and receiving trastuzumab were included.

Materials And Methods: Online databases of PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus were searched for relevant systematic reviews, guidelines, and meta-analysis studies on the management of type B aortic dissection, up to July 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate serum markers, specifically Pro BNP, for diagnosing and predicting outcomes in acute heart diseases within emergency settings.
- Conducted with 100 patients experiencing syncope, the findings revealed that 19% had cardiac syncope, and Pro BNP levels were significantly higher in those with cardiac issues and ECG abnormalities.
- The research concluded that elevated Pro BNP levels correlated with age and hospitalization duration, indicating its strong potential as a diagnostic tool for cardiac syncope, with high sensitivity (94.73%) but lower specificity (56.79%).
Article Synopsis
- Geriatric trauma involves injuries in individuals aged 65 and older, requiring specialized management in Emergency Departments due to their unique physiological changes and injury complexities.
- A study evaluated trauma causes in 319 elderly patients, revealing that falls were the most common reason for injuries, followed by car accidents, with high prevalence of underlying conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
- The results indicate that falls and car accidents are significant risks for elderly trauma, especially for head and neck injuries, highlighting the need for effective protective measures to reduce serious outcomes.
