In this study, we present the development of an advanced bimanual intravenous (IV) needle insertion simulation system, leveraging the capabilities of mixed reality and haptic feedback technologies. The system offers an immersive experience by simulating real-world variability in a clinic environment. Our approach involves the integration of an exoskeleton haptic glove for left-hand interaction with a virtual patient's hand and a modified stylus haptic device for performing IV needle insertion into a virtual vein, visualized through the HoloLens 2 device.

Background: The Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC) tattooing can restore physical and mental integrity after breast cancer, but it is not always easily accessible for women. This paper aims to report on the development of a multidisciplinary nurse-led service for NAC tattooing for women who underwent breast cancer surgery with NAC removal to allow its thorough review and replication.
Methods: The Medical Research Council's framework for developing complex healthcare interventions was followed.

Introduction: Despite the establishment of a national strategy and plan to eliminate all harmful traditional practices, traditional uvulectomy remains widely practiced in Ethiopia, and there is a lack of comprehensive summary of national data on uvulectomy complications and associated malpractices. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled complications of uvulectomy and concurrent occurrences of traditional malpractices in Ethiopia.
Methods: The following databases were used to retrieve studies: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and Google Search.
