Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of examiner pairing on grading variances in the EDAIC Part II examination, focusing on the leniency and strictness of different examiner pairs.
- Utilizing data from 325 examiners over three years, the research reveals that most examiner pairs had only slight differences in scoring, indicating a general consistency in leniency.
- The findings highlight the potential 'hawk-dove effect', suggesting that different examiner combinations can significantly affect candidate performance and outcomes in the exam.

Article Synopsis
- Non-contact vital sign monitoring is gaining attention in healthcare due to its benefits over traditional methods, such as minimizing infection risk and allowing more patient mobility.
- Despite its potential, there are limited clinical studies focusing on its use in pediatric anesthesia.
- This review examines the barriers to adopting contactless monitoring with RGB cameras and discusses future possibilities for its integration in pediatric anesthesia and critical care settings.
The study sought to evaluate the influence of anesthesia on chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). : This was a single-center, randomized controlled study, with patients receiving a spinal anesthetic (SP) alone or a general anesthetic (GA) with femoral block, with follow-up at 3 and at 6 months. The primary outcome was the WOMAC score at 6 months.
