Background: Senior medical students organised and delivered a teaching day to prepare an academic year of junior colleagues for their end-of-year objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).

Methods: The day involved a series of mini lectures, followed by group-based teaching to reflect the various stations in the proceeding examinations. Feedback forms were completed at the start and end of the teaching day.

Results: As indicated through feedback, senior medical students are capable of organising a successful revision day to prepare more junior peers for their end-of-year examinations.

Discussion: Having completed the same set of assessments, senior medical students are well placed to prepare more junior colleagues for their examinations. This exercise offered valuable teaching experience for the tutors, and also highlighted numerous areas of development for future iterations. As found in other such projects, this approach was also rated as effective by the participants.

Background: In several studies of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), the regulation of tumorigenesis and therapeutic sensitivity by pyroptosis has been observed. However, a systematic analysis of gasdermin family members (GSDMs, including GSDMA/B/C/D/E and PJVK), which are deterministic executors of pyroptosis, has not yet been reported in HNSC.

Methods: We performed comprehensive analyses of the expression profile, prognostic value, regulatory network, and immune infiltration modulation of GSDMs in HNSC on the basis of a computational approach and bioinformatic analysis of publicly available datasets.
