AI Article Synopsis
- This study compares the effectiveness of YouTube videos versus traditional supervision for teaching knee arthrocentesis to medical students.
- Seventy-one students were divided into three groups: one learned from a supervisor, another used high-quality YouTube links, and the last group searched for any available videos.
- Results showed that while group A performed better before feedback, all groups scored similarly after receiving instructor feedback, indicating that video instruction alone isn't a substitute for traditional supervision.
Article Abstract
Background: This study aims to compare medical students' educational outcomes in performing knee arthrocentesis through searching and using YouTube videos versus traditional supervisor-led sessions.
Method: Seventy-one medical students were randomly assigned to three groups. Group A had a traditional supervisor-led clinical session, where the supervisor demonstrated the procedure. Students in group B were provided with links to YouTube videos of knee arthrocentesis that were deemed to be of high educational quality, whereas group C searched and learned from any YouTube video that they found themselves based on the learning objectives provided. Student performance was first examined following the learning sessions, and then again after receiving feedback on the performance.
Results: Prior to feedback, statistically significant higher mean scores were noted for group A in the identification of an appropriate puncture site (p = 0.015), puncture site sterilization (p = 0.046), wearing sterile gloves (p < 0.001) and direction of needle insertion (p < 0.001). The overall mean scores (maximum possible score is 21) before feedback for groups A, B and C were 17.9 ± 1.9, 14.9 ± 2.0 and 15.4 ± 1.8, respectively (p < 0.001). The overall mean scores after feedback for groups A, B and C were 21.0 ± 0.0, 20.9 ± 0.3 and 21.0 ± 0.0, respectively (p = 0.037).
Conclusion: Students performed equally whether they were provided with videos or found their own; however, without appropriate learner feedback from an instructor, YouTube videos cannot replace traditional supervisor-led sessions for learning knee arthrocentesis.

We present the case of a 67-year-old man undergoing immunosuppressive therapy with known pulmonary blastomycosis who presented with knee swelling and fever. FDG-PET/CT performed to exclude septic arthritis revealed increased uptake within the right epididymis and multiple osteoarticular, cutaneous, and subcutaneous sites. Cultures obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage, urine, right knee arthrocentesis, and subcutaneous tissue all demonstrated Blastomyces dermatitidis, compatible with disseminated blastomycosis (DB).

Knee pain is a common presenting complaint in the emergency department, and although the major etiologies are overuse and degenerative, inflammatory and infectious causes must be ruled out. This issue reviews the potential causes of knee pain from the history and physical examination, symptom location based differential, clinical clues, and special testing strategies. Evidence on the uses of x-ray and ultrasound for diagnostic imaging is reviewed.

Background: Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS) is a life-threatening condition caused by bacterial toxins. The STSS triad encompasses high fever, hypotensive shock, and a "sunburn-like" rash with desquamation. STSS, like Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), is a rare complication of streptococcal infec-tions caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS), Streptococcal pyogenes (S.

An 85-year-old woman with a history of total knee replacements for osteoarthritis in the past, presented with left knee swelling and pain that persisted for 14 months. An initial diagnosis of synovial cyst was made, and she underwent multiple aspirations and symptomatic treatments without improvement. Repeat arthrocentesis showed a WBC of 56,000/μL with 61 % neutrophils and 34 % lymphocytes.
