Background: The Pharmaceutical Medicine program at the University of New South Wales provides postgraduate education for students seeking employment relating to development of new medicines and medical technology. The objective of this study was to determine which changes to the program were required to meet future educational needs of students.
Methods: Responses to questions from 76 students, tutors, lecturers, and stakeholders were obtained via Qualtrics surveys.
Results: Most respondents would recommend the program because of scope and program emphasis, content, quality of teaching, flexibility, and availability of distance and online content. Students valued links to industry and the national regulatory authority. Respondents recommended program content be current, expanded to meet needs of the Asia-Pacific region, and structured to ensure opportunities for networking and collaboration.
Conclusions: Recommended changes to the program are being implemented to optimize skills and knowledge of graduates for roles in global pharmaceutical, medical technology, and biotechnology industries.

Delayed Maxillary Reconstruction with Free Osteocutaneous Fibula Flap Using CAD-CAM Technology.
Indian J Plast Surg
February 2025
Centre of Excellence in Industrial and Product Design, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, India.
Maxillary reconstruction poses unique challenges for the reconstructive surgeon because of the complex three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the maxilla. Undertaking this endeavor on secondary reconstruction makes it more difficult due to problems in recreating the true defect. This study is an attempt to demonstrate the role of virtual surgical planning (VSP), 3D printing, and mock surgery in reconstructing such defects using free fibula flaps.

Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) have emerged as the first-line choice for treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection due to their superior efficacy and safety. However, the impact of INSTIs on the development of neuropsychiatric conditions in people living with HIV (PLWH) is not fully understood due to limited data. In this study, we conducted a cross-sectional examination of PLWH receiving antiretroviral therapy, with a specific focus on HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) on INSTI-based regimens (n = 61) and efavirenz (EFV)-based regimens (n = 28).
