While objective clinical structured examination (OSCE) is a worldwide recognized and effective method to assess clinical skills of undergraduate medical students, the latest Ottawa conference on the assessment of competences raised vigorous debates regarding the future and innovations of OSCE. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive view of the global research activity on OSCE over the past decades and to identify clues for its improvement. We performed a bibliometric and scientometric analysis of OSCE papers published until March 2024.

Article Synopsis
  • The clinical practice of aerosol delivery for critically ill adult patients using respiratory support devices is complex and controversial, prompting the need for clearer guidelines.
  • A modified Delphi method was used to gather expert opinions from a panel of 17 international researchers to establish consensus on aerosol delivery techniques and identify areas needing further study.
  • The resulting document includes 20 statements that review the safety and efficacy of aerosol therapies, largely based on low-level evidence, and emphasizes the need for future randomized clinical trials.

Background And Aims: Variability in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level control at a population level is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. Limited data exist on LDL-C level variability or long-term persistence with the monoclonal antibody evolocumab in routine clinical practice. Using data from the HEYMANS registry, this analysis aimed to assess evolocumab persistence and discontinuation over 30 months of evolocumab treatment and to evaluate at a population level the variability in LDL-C level reductions during the study period.

Senegal having a significant prevalence of socially differentiated oral diseases, oral health literacy (OHL), an individual and social resource, should be considered alongside a remedial response. This work aimed to analyze women's OHL characteristics. A cross-sectional study on 315 women in Pikine County was carried out, using the Oral Health Literacy-Adult Questionnaire (OHL-AQ) for the OHL data collection and a questionnaire for the women's socioeconomic characteristics data.

Nebulized antibiotics for ventilator-associated pneumonia: methodological framework for future multicenter randomized controlled trials.

Curr Opin Infect Dis

April 2021

Multidisciplinary Intensive Care Unit, Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care, Sorbonne University of Paris, La Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris, Paris, France.

Purpose Of Review: Although experimental evidence supports the use of nebulized antibiotics in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), two recent multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have failed to demonstrate any benefit in VAP caused by Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). This review examines the methodological requirements concerning future RCTs.

Recent Findings: High doses of nebulized antibiotics are required to reach the infected lung parenchyma.

Article Synopsis
  • Transthoracic lung ultrasound is being studied as a way to detect pulmonary hyperdistention, which can occur during mechanical ventilation and is usually not detected by standard assessments.
  • Eighteen patients with normal lungs were monitored during lower abdominal surgery while various levels of positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) were applied, and ultrasound data were compared to electrical impedance tomography findings.
  • Results showed that an increase in the number of horizontal A lines in lung ultrasound correlated with decreasing intercostal space thickness, with six A lines identified as the threshold indicating hyperdistention, demonstrating the ultrasound's potential for clinical use in monitoring lung conditions during surgery.

Objective: Evaluating the perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive (MIV) donor hepatectomy for adult live donor liver transplants in a large multi-institutional series from both Eastern and Western centers.

Background: Laparoscopic liver resection has become standard practice for minor resections in selected patients in whom it provides reduced postoperative morbidity and faster rehabilitation. Laparoscopic approaches in living donor hepatectomy for transplantation, however, remain controversial because of safety concerns.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Antwerp University Hospital, University of Antwerp, Wilrijkstraat 10, 2650 Edegem, Belgium.

Background: Alveolar flooding and airway obstruction are present in the acute respiratory distress syndrome. The impact of positive end-expiratory pressure on regional airway aeration has not been described.

Aim: To assess bronchial and lung recruitment and distension during an incremental positive end-expiratory pressure trial in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Background: Intradialytic hypotension, a complication of intermittent hemodialysis, decreases the efficacy of dialysis and increases long-term mortality. This study was aimed to determine whether different predialysis ultrasound cardiopulmonary profiles could predict intradialytic hypotension.

Methods: This prospective observational single-center study was performed in 248 critically ill patients with acute kidney injury undergoing intermittent hemodialysis.
