Objectives: to highlight the effect of using clinical simulation in the training of undergraduate nursing students for the development of skills in cardiovascular health assessment.
Methods: a systematic review was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases from August to September 2023. Of the 685 articles identified, 6 were selected, consisting of 4 experimental studies and 2 quasi-experimental studies, all of good methodological quality according to the Joanna Briggs Institute.
Results: clinical simulation increased nursing students' levels of knowledge and confidence. Most studies indicated that simulated practices improve learning compared to traditional methodologies.
Conclusions: clinical simulation requires more robust methodological designs, and more multicenter clinical trials on cardiovascular assessment in nursing need to be published.

Evaluation of clinical benefits and economic value of weight loss in a Swedish population using a simulation model.
Obesity (Silver Spring)
March 2025
School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Örebro, Sweden.
Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the 10-year clinical benefits and economic value of weight loss in a Swedish population with obesity using a value of weight-loss simulation model.
Methods: Data on the prevalence of and costs associated with obesity and obesity-related complications (ORCs) were applied within an adapted simulation model to evaluate weight-loss benefits for a 2023 Swedish population over 10 years. The 10-year incidence of 10 ORCs and treatment costs in a random cohort of 10,000 individuals were estimated for a stable weight scenario and four weight-loss (5%-20%) scenarios.
Improving breaking bad news communication skills through stress arousal reappraisal and worked examples.
Med Educ
March 2025
Institute for Medical Education, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Introduction: Breaking bad news (BBN) is a distressing yet essential task in medicine, imposing emotional strain on both physicians and patients. Crucially, effective BBN relies on both verbal and nonverbal communication, which can be impaired by elevated stress associated with the task. Efficient teaching of communication skills continues to present a challenge, and the role of stress management in BBN encounters remains largely overlooked.

Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA. Electronic address:
This updated Heart Valve Collaboratory framework addresses the growing concern for transcatheter valve failure (TVF) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). With the increasing volume of redo-TAV and surgical TAV explantation, there is a critical need for standardized pathways and protocols for evaluating TVF using echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography. This document clarifies prior definitions of bioprosthetic valve deterioration and bioprosthetic valve failure in a practical, imaging directed context for TAVR.

Objectives: Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common malocclusion frequently observed in orthodontic clinics. Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) not only produces greater skeletal expansion but also offers advantages such as simple miniscrew implantation without flap elevation, enhanced patient comfort, and an expanded age range and indications for palatal expansion. However, the fixed connection between the expander and the miniscrews makes the expander difficult to remove, significantly hindering its clinical application.

Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Team, Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Background: Nasoenteral tube (NET) use is common in critically ill patients but is associated with significant complications, including accidental dislodgement, malpositioning in the bronchial tree or mechanical failures, which can impede nutritional therapy. These complications often lead to adverse events that increase hospital stay, costs, and patient morbidity.
Objective: This study aimed to reduce complications related to the placement and maintenance of NETs in critically ill patients using multifaceted strategies.
