To the Editor: Before coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we had been thinking about how best to re-imagine our university medical program enhance student experience and learning outcomes. Globally, questions have raised regarding utility format of pre-clinical content taught in programs junior years,1 particularly lectures, which increasingly low attendance rates. There is emerging evidence that blended approaches education meet connectivity, flexibility interactivity expectations...
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating condition and there lack of evidence to guide its management. We hypothesized that treatment success independently associated with modifiable variables in surgical antibiotic management.The prospective, observational study at 27 hospitals across Australia New Zealand. Newly diagnosed large PJIs were eligible. Data collected baseline 3, 12, 24 months. The main outcome measures months clinical cure (defined as all the following: alive,...
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of replacement surgery. Most observational studies PJI are retrospective or single-center, and reported management approaches outcomes vary widely. We hypothesized that there would be substantial heterogeneity in most PJIs present as late acute infections occurring consequence bloodstream infections.The Prosthetic Infection Australia New Zealand, Observational (PIANO) study prospective at 27 hospitals. From July 2014 through...
Abstract Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo HSCT ) recipients are at high risk of invasive pneumococcal disease ( IPD ). We investigated the incidence and factors in allo from 4 regional transplant centers over an 11‐year period. This study aimed to inform future improvements post‐transplant care. Methods conducted a retrospective nested 1:2 case–control patients aged ≥18 years who underwent between 2001 2011 major allogeneic centers. Controls were matched...
Abstract Background Diabetic foot infections (DFI) present a major morbidity, mortality and economic challenge for the tertiary health sector. However, lack of high quality evidence specific treatment regimens patients with DFIs may result in inconsistent management. This study aimed to identify DFI caseload proportion patterns clinical practice Infectious Diseases (ID) Physicians Trainees within Australia New Zealand. Methods A cross‐sectional online survey Australian Zealand ID was...
The COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent social distancing measures caused unprecedented disruption for medical healthcare education. This study examined teachers' experience with emergency remote teaching during their acceptance of online after pandemic.
<title>Abstract</title> Background Artificial Intelligence(AI) is advancing, but its role in simulating detailed patient-doctor interactions the style of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations(OSCEs) emerging. This study's goal was to create and validate an AI virtual patient(AIVP) that could interact with medical students, mimic a patient issue, provide students feedback on their performance. Methods Six AIVP were developed simulate OSCE scenarios for common emergency department...
Objective: To evaluate the immune status and vaccination needs of first-year medical students in relation to bloodborne viruses common vaccine-preventable diseases. Design, setting participants: Survey at University New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, attending a mandatory screening clinic, 2002–2005. Main outcome measures: Self-reported history or natural infection; serological evidence immunity measles, mumps, rubella varicella (presence specific IgG) hepatitis B virus surface antibodies)...
Background Many patients admitted to hospital have an antibiotic allergy (AAL) documented in their medical record. In many of these, the reaction is not a hypersensitivity or may no longer be relevant. Despite this, label adversely affects patient care directly terms selection, and indirectly costs development antimicrobial resistance. Aims To estimate prevalence AALs cohort hospitalised patients, investigate feasibility de-labelling through re-challenge based solely upon clinical grounds....
Major disruptions imposed on medical education by the COVID-19 pandemic and rapid shift to online teaching in programs, necessitated need for evaluation of this format. In study we directly compared knowledge outcomes, social wellbeing first year student small group either face (f2f) or format.At end course our program, students were invited participate an questionnaire with 10 quantitative items 1 qualitative item. These analysed using Factor Analysis Pattern Matrix linear regression assess...
Abstract Background Teaching medical ethics (ME) in the clinical environment is often difficult, uncalibrated and students get variable exposure to skilled educators. Explicit discussion of ethical dimensions patient management neglected, as teachers may feel inadequately do this. Methods We developed a suite online modules. Each consisted scenario filmed using virtual reality (VR) technology, linked an adaptive, interactive, tutorial which explicitly discussed relevant issues guidelines....

Abstract Background Delivery of medical ethics education is complex due to various reasons, compounded by the context-dependent nature content. The scarcity relevant resources in contexts some developing countries adds a further layer difficulty these contexts. We used consultative approach with students, teachers and external experts develop practical education. This study aimed refine contextually region Saudi Arabia. Methods utilised an explorative qualitative methodology seek views...
Abstract There is a global outbreak of infections due to Mycobacterium chimaera associated with cardiac surgery. The most serious involve prosthetic material implantation, and all have followed surgical procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass. We describe cluster four cases following surgery at tertiary referral centre in Sydney, Australia. report novel clinical findings, including haemolysis kidney rupture possibly related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. positive effect...
It is a long-standing tradition in medicine that doctors have an ethical duty to care for all patients who fall within the scope of their skill base. This reflects value system many and type typical dedication craft has long been expected given. The modern doctor, however, may other additional roles -- such as those parent, researcher, business person others. What about duties accompany these activities what if come into conflict with patients? How does doctor decide how far extends? article...
