Purpose: Recent studies have emphasized the importance of empathy in the physician-patient relationship (PPR). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between empathy scores, as measured by the student version of the Jefferson Scaleof Empathy, Korean edition (JSE-S-K), and PPR scores on the clinical performance examination (CPX).
Methods: The sample comprised 104 third-year medical students. Prior to undertaking 12 cases on the CPX, the students completed the JSE-S-K and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. We analyzed the differences in empathy and PPR scores according to their sociodemographic characteristics and personality types and verified the link between empathy and PPR scores by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: PPR scores were positively associated with total JSE-S-K scores (r=0.232, p<0.05) and its affective domain scores (r=0.229, p<0.05). Education program (undergraduate or graduate entry) and empathy score were the best predictors of PPR score (R(2)=0.153).
Conclusion: The positive association between empathy and PPR scores suggests that empathy is an important factor that influences the PPR.

Comparative pathogenesis of Ethiopia/Habru/2014 Lineage-IV peste des petits ruminants virus in goats and cattle.

Article Synopsis
- Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease affecting primarily goats and sheep, with some controversy around its impact on atypical hosts like cattle, warranting investigation into its progression in both species.
- The study involved 32 animals (16 goats and 16 cattle) inoculated with a specific PPR virus strain, leading to significant clinical differences: goats showed typical symptoms and earlier virus detection than cattle, which displayed milder signs.
- Findings emphasize the need for further comparative pathology studies to enhance understanding of PPR virus dynamics and potential transmission pathways, which could be crucial for controlling outbreaks.
Dynamic changes of platelets before and after surgery predict the prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how the postoperative/preoperative platelet ratio (PPR) affects outcomes for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) within 90 days after surgery.
- Researchers analyzed data from 948 aSAH patients, categorizing them into groups based on their PPR levels and assessing their clinical outcomes through various statistical methods.
- Findings revealed that higher PPR levels were linked to lower rates of complications like anemia and pneumonia, suggesting that decreased PPR levels are associated with worse outcomes after aSAH, particularly due to factors like pneumonia and anemia.
