Medical Students' Competency in EFAST (Extended Focused Assessment Sonography for Trauma) Components: A Prospective Observational Study.

Objective: Ultrasound training in undergraduate medical education is developing, and its incorporation into the curriculum requires careful planning. Extended Focused Assessment Sonography for Trauma (EFAST) is commonly taught to medical students as one of the primary applications of ultrasound. Because false-negative EFAST scans can affect patients' clinical outcomes, it is essential to evaluate the individual components of this skill.

Maternal and fetal health outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus pregnancies in the Emirati population: A comparative study.

Objectives: To evaluate adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), compare their maternal and fetal outcomes with those of age-matched pregnant women without SLE, and identify factors linked to increased risks of adverse outcomes.

Methods: Medical records from Tawam Hospital were reviewed retrospectively to identify patients with SLE and a history of pregnancy. Demographics, clinical variables, and maternal and fetal outcomes were obtained.
