The GMC's Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) marks a pivotal moment in UK medical education: the 2025 graduating cohort will be first required to pass this national exam before entering clinical practice. accompanying MLA 'Content Map' lists 217 presentations and 315 conditions - across 25 Areas of Clinical Practice, that students need know by end programmes. Whilst some educators may simply use list confirm whether timetabled teaching covers material others driver for curriculum change...

Abstract Objective: Dysphagia of neurogenic or postsurgical origin presents management and therapeutic challenges to the otolaryngologist. Improvements in approaches may be facilitated by understanding how central nervous system controls swallowing. The purpose this investigation was utilize functional magnetic resonance imaging determine patterns cortical activity during swallowing normal, healthy adult subjects. Study Design: Functional (fMRI) performed on eight subjects using conventional...

Students who engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) are more likely to achieve academic success compared with students have deficits SRL and tend struggle performance. Understanding how poor affects the response failure at assessment will inform development of better remediation.Semi-structured interviews were conducted 55 had failed final re-sit two medical schools UK explore their use processes. A thematic analysis approach was used identify factors, from an perspective, that prevented...

Failing a high-stakes assessment at medical school is major event for those who go through the experience. Students fail may be more likely to struggle in professional practice, therefore helping individuals overcome problems and respond appropriately important. There little understanding about what factors influence how experience failure or make sense of failing remediation. The aim this study was investigate complexity surrounding from student's perspective using interpretative...

Developmental student support has a focus on developing the whole person, not only academic and clinical competence. The positive proactive developmental approach is in marked contrast to deficit reactive which targets identified students who are considered be "at risk". medical school nexus for personal development, combining identity formation journey of early adulthood with variety new experiences school. Important aspects development resilience ensuring reasonable adjustments learning...

There is an increasing use of technology for teaching and learning in medical education but often the educational theory to inform design not made explicit. The theories, both normative descriptive, used by educators determine how intended facilitate may explain why some interventions with be less effective compared others.The aim this study highlight importance making explicit theories that their using technology.The illustrative examples main demonstrate informing technology.Highlights...

Clinical reasoning is fundamental for effective clinical practice. Traditional consultation models teaching or conventional approaches students how to make a diagnosis management plan that rely on learning through observation only, are increasingly recognised as insufficient. There also many challenges supporting learners in developing over time well across different presentations and contexts. These compounded by the differences experts novices sense of information, cognitive processes each...

ABSTRACT Interindividual variation in pharmacokinetics can occur due to diet, environmental or lifestyle factors, underlying pathology, and gene variants, typically single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Genetic mechanisms have received the most attention research education about ethnic differences pharmacokinetics. Making this connection between genetics ethnicity is problematic because it could reinforce erroneous idea that there a biological basis ethnicity. The aim of work was design an...

Malaria is a major public health problem in many States of the country, particularly, Madhya Pradesh where both Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum are endemic. Although studies have been conducted to investigate risk factors for malaria, but only few examined household socio-economic factors. The present study was, therefore, undertaken explore relationship different socio-demographic, behavioural with malaria prevalence tribal areas Pradesh, India.This was all 62 villages Bargi Primary...

Abstract Background: Because resident physicians (RPs) frequently have direct patient contact, those who are unimmunized against influenza potentially subject patients to unnecessary risk of infection. Objective: To determine the rates of, knowledge regarding, and attitudes toward immunization among RPs. We hypothesized that about did not differ between primary care (PC) non-PC Methods: A self-administered, anonymous questionnaire distributed a convenience sample 300 RPs (150 PC 150 non-PC)....

Clinical decision support (CDS) tools improve clinical diagnostic making and patient safety. The availability of CDS to health care professionals has grown in line with the increased prevalence apps smart mobile devices. Despite these benefits, patients may have safety concerns about use devices around medical equipment.This research explored engagement junior doctors (JDs) perceptions their use. There were three objectives for this research: (1) measure actual usage on (mCDS) by JDs, (2)...

To evaluate markerless tumor tracking (MTT) using fast-kV switching dual-energy (DE) fluoroscopy on a bench top system.Fast-kV DE was implemented which includes turntable stand, flat panel detector, and x-ray tube. The customized generator firmware enables consecutive pulses that alternate between programmed high low energies (e.g., 60 120 kVp) with maximum frame rate of 15 Hz. In-house software to perform weighted subtraction images create an image sequence removes bone enhances soft...

Usability, or the ease with which something can be used, is a key aspect in ensuring end-users achieve best possible outcomes from given educational resource. Ideally usability testing should take place iteratively throughout design of resource, and there are several approaches for undertaking described wider literature. Within radiation oncology education, extent to occurs remains unclear. This literature review aimed assess current practice provide practical introduction resource within...

Delivering case-based collaborative learning (cCBL) at scale using technology that both presents the clinical problem authentically and seeks to foster quality group discussion is a challenge, especially argumentation which critical for effective learning. The aim of this study was investigate presence essential conditions capitalize on technology-enhanced cCBL scenario teaching radiology facilitating discussion.

In simulation-based education, the effectiveness of observation or active participation on retention knowledge and skills is uncertain. The aim study was to investigate retention, technical non-technical self-efficacy among observers participants in a simulated palliative extubation.

Four pairs of thoracopagus twins have been described. Cardiac catheterisation was performed in all the cases. Angiocardiographic and necropsy findings suggest that most common abnormality some form univentricular heart. The communication between 2 hearts at atrial level Separation 1 these cases but only survived for 14 hours after operation. It is suggested full cardiac with selective angiocardiogram essential before separation considered. Identical heart rates were observed each pair there...
