In this paper, we show different activities of the European Center for Medical Informatics, Statistics and Epidemiology (EuroMISE Center) of Charles University and Academy of Sciences in the field of medical informatics, statistics and epidemiology education and training. The development of these activities started within the TEMPUS-PHARE project in 1993 and they are continuing with the support of another project, particularly the IT EDUCTRA (Information Technologies Education and Training) (Fourth Framework Programme) project. New approaches using the Internet as well as newly developed programmes are described.

Background: A significant gap exists in understanding the effectiveness of intra-class (same-class) level peer mentorship programmes designed to enhance academic performance, well-being, and student involvement among underperforming medical students. This study assessed the effectiveness of intra-class (same-class) peer mentorship programme on the academic performances, subjective well-being and school engagement of academically underperforming medical students in Nigeria.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental research consisting of the pretest-posttest control design at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria.

Department of Hematology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Background: Dexrazoxane has been studied for its ability to prevent anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction (AICD) in several trials but its use in clinical practice remains limited. This is related to the low to moderate quality of the generated evidence, safety concerns and restricted prescribing indications. Additional randomized trials are needed before this drug can be routinely integrated into cardio-oncology clinical practice.

Background: Despite considerable improvements in oral health in recent decades, caries and periodontitis are still widespread, ranking among the most prevalent diseases worldwide and requiring future research. The German National Cohort (NAKO Gesundheitsstudie, NAKO) is a large-scaled, multidisciplinary, nationwide, multi-centre, population-based, prospective cohort study with oral examinations that aims to provide a resource to study risk factors for major diseases. The aim of the present article is to provide the methodological background, to report on the data quality, and to present initial results of the oral examinations.
