Research, Shifa Tameer-E-Millat University, Islamabad, PAK.
Healthcare simulation has gained global recognition in health professions education, yet its adoption in Pakistan, a lower-middle-income country (LMIC), remains limited. This scoping review aimed to explore how simulation is integrated into healthcare education in Pakistan, highlighting challenges and opportunities to inform similar LMICs. Pakistan serves as a critical case study for LMICs due to its unique challenges, including uneven access to simulation technologies and limited faculty training, which are shared by many similar resource-constrained settings.

Department of Radiology, Hubei Key Laboratory of Molecular Imaging, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) undergoing open surgery show increased adverse events (AEs) and mortality, while the safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in coinfected patients remains understudied, limiting available evidence. This study aims to investigate the safety of TACE in HCC patients coinfected with COVID-19, and to explore the potential risk factors affecting the occurrence of serious AEs (SAEs), thus providing evidence for clinical treatment strategies in such patients.
Methods: This retrospective study involved HCC patients who underwent TACE with or without COVID-19 infection at our institution from November 2022 to February 2023.

Radiodiagnosis, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, IND.
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological condition that disrupts women's health due to irregularities in menstrual frequency, duration, and volume, often resulting in a significant impact on daily life and productivity. Accurate diagnosis of AUB is critical but complicated by its varied etiologies and presentations. Recent advancements in imaging techniques, particularly the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA), have enhanced the diagnostic precision of uterine pathologies such as fibroids and adenomyosis.
