It is important to educate medical students about alcohol misuse, but this process is hampered by negative attitudes and the unavailability of typical patients. However, simulated patients can describe full longitudinal histories in a characteristically defensive style and can provide direct feedback to student interviewers.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of female cancer mortality worldwide, accounting for 1 in 6 cancer deaths. Surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy are the three pillars of breast cancer treatment, with several strategies developed to combine them. The association of preoperative radiotherapy with immunotherapy may improve breast cancer tumor control by exploiting the tumor radio-induced immune priming.

Objectives: We aimed to determine if shared decision-making (SDM) self-assessment of a standardized patient (SP) scenario was reliable, specifically whether students' communication resulted in each SP-student pair reporting internally consistent final treatment choices. We hypothesized student self-assessment would differ from SP and faculty assessment indicating a need for multisource feedback.
Methods: In this observational case study from 2016-2017, all third-year post-clerkship medical students received evidence-based treatment options for sinusitis and SDM lectures followed by a SP encounter on sinusitis.

Background/purpose: The functional and aesthetic reconstruction of the mandible can be achieved by using the double-barrel vascularized free fibula flap. The purpose of this study was to use multiple integrated techniques to more effectively reconstruct the mandible, some contains of our unique ideas.
Materials And Methods: 21 patients were included in this study.

Background/purpose: Studies have indicated that 50%-55% of the population have malocclusion, and approximately 5%-10% require orthognathic surgery to correct this condition. Optimal placement of plates and screws significantly affects the success rate of the surgery and postoperative stability. This study evaluates the cortical thickness of the maxillary bone in the nasomaxillary and zygomaticomaxillary buttress regions in Taiwanese patients based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
