Introduction Rapid, robust and continually updated evidence synthesis is required to inform management of COVID-19 in pregnant postpartum women keep pace with the emerging during pandemic. Methods analysis We plan undertake a living systematic review assess prevalence, clinical manifestations, risk factors, rates maternal perinatal complications, potential for mother-to-child transmission, accuracy diagnostic tests effectiveness treatment (including after miscarriage or abortion). will...
Simulation via Instant Messaging- Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) delivers simulation-based learning (SBL) through WhatsApp® and Zoom® based on Kolb's experiential theory. This study describes how theory was implemented in practice during SIMBA adrenal session.SIMBA session conducted for healthcare professionals replicated 4-stage cycle: (a) concrete experience-online simulation of real-life clinical scenarios, (b) reflective observation-discussion Q&A following simulation, (c) abstract...
Objective To promote the healthy development of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, this study uses badminton to combine sports intervention cognitive explore content teaching and programs suitable for learning students disabilities. Methods This research selected 26 mildly mentally disabled in special education schools (age: 14.5 ± 0.8 years old), subjects were randomly assigned three groups by digital randomization method, which physical intelligence group (BSI), (BS) control...
ABSTRACT Background Medical education employs diverse teaching strategies, including blending lecture‐based learning, small‐group (SGT) and, increasingly, simulation‐based learning. Nonetheless, limitations in clinical application and participation persist. Simulation via Instant Messaging for Bedside Application (SIMBA) complements these methods by simulating real‐world scenarios. This pilot study compares SIMBA's effectiveness with SGT endocrine topics medical pharmacy students. Methods...
COVID-19 in people with diabetes is associated a disproportionately worse prognosis. DKA an acute complication of mortality rate approximately 0.67%. Little known about the natural history presence COVID-19. This study aimed to explore effects on presentation, clinical course and outcome patients presenting DKA.Retrospective cohort study.All treated for between 1 March 2020 30 May were included. Patients categorised as COVID-positive or COVID-negative based swab test. A pre-COVID group was...
We explored the clinical and biochemical differences in demographics, presentation management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) adults with type 1 2 diabetes.This observational study included all episodes DKA from April 2014 to September 2020 a UK tertiary care hospital. Data were collected on diabetes type, features at presentation, management.From 786 consecutive DKA, 583 (75.9%) 185 (24.1%) final analysis. Those older had more ethnic minority representation than those diabetes. Intercurrent...
Abstract Background Simulation-based learning (SBL) has been increasingly used in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical training curricula. The aim of Simulation via Instant Messaging-Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) is to create a simple virtual environment improve trainees’ self-reported confidence diabetes Endocrinology. Methods This study was done as part the continuous professional development for Health Education England West Midlands speciality trainees Standardized transcripts...
Simulation-based learning (SBL) is well-established in medical education and has gained popularity, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person teaching infeasible. SBL replicates real-life scenarios provides a fully immersive yet safe environment to develop clinical competency. Simulation via Instant Messaging - Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) an exemplar of SBL, which we previously showed be effective endocrinology diabetes. Previous studies reported efficacy acute medicine. We...
Background Simulation via Instant Messaging - Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) aimed to improve clinicians’ confidence in managing various clinical scenarios during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Five SIMBA sessions were conducted between May and August 2020. Each session included simulation of interactive discussion. Participants’ self-reported confidence, acceptance, relevance simulated cases measured. Results Significant improvement was observed participants’ (overall n = 204, p<0.001;...
To evaluate the efficacy of SIMBA as an educational intervention for both HCPs and people with either PCOS or adrenal conditions to study change in knowledge about expectations from involved their care following SIMBA-PPI sessions.
Objectives To compare the acceptance, strengths and limitations of Simulation via Instant Messaging-Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) in low/middle-income countries (LMICs) high-income (HICs), on healthcare professionals’ professional development learning. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Online (either mobile or computer/ laptop both). Participants 462 participants (LMICs: 29.7%, n=137 HICs: 71.3%, n=325) were included. Interventions Sixteen SIMBA sessions conducted between May 2020 October...

Simulation via Instant Messaging-Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) delivers simulation-based learning through WhatsApp and Zoom, helping to sustain continuing medical education (CME) for postgraduate healthcare professionals otherwise disrupted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aimed assess whether SIMBA helped improve clinical knowledge if this improvement in was sustained over time.Two sessions-thyroid pituitary-were conducted July-August 2020. Each session included simulation of...

Simulation is defined as a process that substitutes or amplifies real patient encounters with artificial models, live actors, virtual reality patients.[1][1] The goal of simulation to replicate care scenarios guided experiences in realistic environment.[2][2] This usually
Background: Promoting physical activity in the workplace, particularly healthcare settings, is advocated both United Kingdom and internationally.Technologybased interventions have shown promise, but most studies comparing channels for health communication provide different messages via those channels.It not known if effects are due to channel or message.Methods: In a randomised controlled trial design, 296 employees from hospital workplace (19-67 years; mean=38.78;SD=10.25)participated...
