Medical Education Directorate, NHS Lothian, Edinburgh, UK.
Background: Behavioural marker systems are used across several healthcare disciplines to assess behavioural (non-technical) skills, but rater training is variable, and inter-rater reliability is generally poor. Inter-rater reliability provides data about the tool, but not the competence of individual raters. This study aimed to test the inter-rater reliability of a new behavioural marker system (PhaBS - pharmacists' behavioural skills) with clinically experienced faculty raters and near-peer raters.

Eur J Phys Rehabil Med
December 2024
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain -
Article Synopsis
- Advanced chronic kidney disease affects muscle health, making it important to find effective ways to assess muscle quality before kidney transplants.
- Musculoskeletal ultrasound, particularly measuring rectus femoris (RF) echogenicity, shows promise in identifying muscle weakness and quality issues in patients waiting for kidney transplants.
- In a study of 112 patients, a RF echogenicity cut-off of 70 demonstrated good sensitivity but moderate specificity for detecting quadriceps weakness, indicating an increased risk in patients with greater echogenicity.
Modified Cajal's trichrome stain in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
J Oral Maxillofac Pathol
October 2024
Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Vinayaka Mission's Sankarachariyar Dental College, Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation (Deemed to be University), Salem, Tamil Nadu, India.
Background: Modified Cajal's trichrome stain (MCTS) is a good differential stain that allows one to visibly distinguish between connective tissue and epithelial elements with different tonalities of colour.
Aim: Our study aims to evaluate and analyse the effectiveness of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) using MCTS.
Materials And Methods: A study was conducted retrospectively with 30 tissue blocks embedded in paraffin from cases of OSCC that have been confirmed by histopathology.
