The time required to observe changes in participant evaluation of continuing medical education (CME) courses in surgical fields is unclear. We investigated the time required to observe changes in participant evaluation of an orthopaedic course after educational redesign using aggregate course-level data obtained from 1359 participants who attended one of 23 AO Davos Courses over a 5-year period between 2007 and 2011. Participants evaluated courses using two previously validated, 5-point Likert scales based on content and faculty performance, and we compared results between groups that underwent educational redesign incorporating serial needs assessment, problem-based learning, and faculty training initiatives (Masters Course), and those that did not (Non-Masters Course). Average scores for the usefulness and relevancy of a course and faculty performance were significantly higher for redesigned courses (p < 0.0001) and evaluations were significantly improved for both groups after faculty training was formalised in 2009 (p < 0.001). In summary, educational redesign incorporating serial needs assessment, problem-based learning, and faculty training initiatives were associated with improvement in participant evaluation, but these changes required 4-5 years to become evident.

Identification of key gene signatures for predicting chemo-immunotherapy efficacy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer using machine learning.
Lung Cancer
January 2025
Internal Medicine III, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama, Japan.
Objectives: The lack of definitive biomarkers presents a significant challenge for chemo-immunotherapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). We aimed to identify key genes associated with chemo-immunotherapy efficacy in ES-SCLC through comprehensive gene expression analysis using machine learning (ML).
Methods: A prospective multicenter cohort of patients with ES-SCLC who received first-line chemo-immunotherapy was analyzed.

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is linked to unhealthy lifestyles, and its treatment includes medications and exercise therapy. Many previous studies have evaluated the effects of exercise on BP improvement; however, exercise requires securing a location, time, and staff, which can be challenging in clinical settings. The antihypertensive effects of dance exercise for patients with hypertension have already been verified, and it has been found that adherence and dropout rates are better compared to other forms of exercise.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) imposes a significant global health and economic burden, impacting millions globally. Despite its high prevalence, public awareness and understanding of CKD remain limited, leading to delayed diagnosis and suboptimal management. Traditional patient education methods, such as 1-on-1 verbal instruction or printed brochures, are often insufficient, especially considering the shortage of nursing staff.
