A BOPPPS-based micro-lecture teaching intervention for orthopaedic postgraduates in China
BACKGROUND: Orthopaedics is a highly specialized discipline characterized by complex theoretical frameworks and extensive knowledge, posing challenges for postgraduate teaching. With the advancement of educational technology, micro-lectures have been increasingly adopted in medical education. However, their isolated use may be insufficient to sustain student engagement or ensure effective learning. The bridge-in, learning objective, pre-test, participatory…

Interobserver agreement for the assessment of erosive reflux esophagitis: a post hoc analysis of clinical trial data
Interobserver agreement for the Los Angeles (LA) classification of erosive reflux esophagitis was good in validation studies, but limited agreement data exists from clinical trials (CTs). We conducted a post hoc evaluation of interobserver agreement between CT endoscopists and independent expert adjudicators in a multi-center, randomized controlled trial of a new acid suppression therapy. Trial…

Comparision of clinical and doppler assisted identification of saphenofemoral junction and peforators in varicose veins patients with intraoperative findings
CONCLUSION: Clinical examination remains dependable for identifying SFJ incompetence; however, Doppler ultrasound provides greater accuracy in detecting perforator incompetence. Incorporating Doppler routinely in preoperative evaluation can improve localization of incompe-tent veins, optimize surgical outcomes, and reduce recurrence rates in varicose vein management.
