Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated IOTA simple rules as a diagnostic tool for ovarian tumors, aiming to assist inexperienced radiologists in general hospitals.
- The research involved 424 women undergoing surgery, where trained gynecologists used ultrasounds to classify tumors, achieving a high sensitivity and specificity for benign tumors.
- The findings suggest that with adequate training, these simple rules can be effectively used in clinical practice, particularly in settings lacking specialized radiologists, although further studies on pregnant women are needed.
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating between primary benign and malignant soft tissue tumors (STTs).
Patients And Methods: The study was carried out on 110 patients with histopathological diagnoses of STTs. All patients underwent routine MRI before surgery/biopsy at Viet Duc University Hospital or Vietnam National Cancer Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam, from January 2020 to October 2022.
Background: Less attractive specialties in medicine are struggling to recruit and retain physicians. When properly organized and delivered, continuing medical education (CME) activities that include short courses, coaching in the workplace, and communities of practice might offer a solution to this problem. This position paper discusses how educationalists can create CME activities based on the self-determination theory that increase physicians' intrinsic motivation to work in these specialties.

Commune police play an integral role in determining which injecting drug users (IDUs) are eligible to commence and continue MMT. This case study highlights the importance of providing training to commune police about MMT to mitigate negative impacts drug law enforcement can have on IDU accessibility to MMT programs.
