Background And Aims: No studies have evaluated trainees' outcomes when learning ERCP with patients in the supine and prone positions simultaneously. We aimed to assess whether patient position impacts procedural outcomes and learning curve.
Methods: We prospectively evaluated patients undergoing ERCP by a supervised advanced endoscopy trainee (AET) at a tertiary care center. Adult patients with native papillae were included. The AET was universally given 5 attempts per cannulation. Outcomes were evaluated quarterly.
Results: Successful cannulation was achieved in 44 supine (69%) and 17 prone (68%) patients (P = .95). Although mean time to reach the papilla was shorter in the supine patient position, time to biliary cannulation (7.8 vs 9.4 minutes, P = .53) and number of attempts were similar. A stepwise increase was seen in cannulation rates throughout the academic year (P < .01) and increased more in supine patients (P = .01). Procedure and total room times were shorter in supine patients.
Conclusions: Shorter procedure and room turnover times and a comparable cannulation rate were found for supine versus prone ERCP.

- Brain tumors (BT), both benign and malignant, pose a substantial impact on human health and need precise and early detection for successful treatment. Analysing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image is a common method for BT diagnosis and segmentation, yet misdiagnoses yield effective medical responses, impacting patient survival rates. Recent technological advancements have popularized deep learning-based medical image analysis, leveraging transfer learning to reuse pre-trained models for various applications.

School of Nursing, Seirei Christopher University, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan.
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in a variety of clinical settings and is a safe and powerful tool for ultrasound-trained healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses; however, the effectiveness of ultrasound education for nursing students remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the sustained educational impact of bladder ultrasound simulation among nursing students.
Methods: To determine whether bladder POCUS simulation exercises sustainably improve the clinical proficiency regarding ultrasound examinations among nursing students, evaluations were conducted before and after the exercise and were compared with those after the 1-month follow-up exercise.
Predicting bullying victimization among adolescents using the risk and protective factor framework: a large-scale machine learning approach.

Background: Bullying, encompassing physical, psychological, social, or educational harm, affects approximately 1 in 20 United States teens aged 12-18. The prevalence and impact of bullying, including online bullying, necessitate a deeper understanding of risk and protective factors to enhance prevention efforts. This study investigated the key risk and protective factors most highly associated with adolescent bullying victimization.
