John Keats's medical studies at Guy's Hospital coincided with a boom in interest in both the traditional medicines of the sub-continent and the experiences of British doctors and patients in India. Despite extensive scholarship on the impact of Keats's medical knowledge on his poetry, little consideration has been given to Keats's exposure to Indian medicine. The poetry that followed his time at Guy's contains numerous references to the contemporary state of knowledge about India and its medical practices, both past and present. This essay focuses on Isabella and considers the major sources of information about Indian medicine in the Regency. It proposes that some of Keats's medical imagery might be read as a specific response to the debates about medicine in the sub-continent.

A súlyos stressz hatására bekövetkező bal kamrai diszfunkció régóta ismert jelenség. Ennek a bal kamra apicalis dilatatiójával járó reverzíbilis formáját Sato és munkatársai 1990-ben történt első leírása nyomán „tako-tsubo”-cardiomyopathiának vagy ampulla-cardiomyopathiának hívják. Az erről szóló publikációkban mind a japán, mind az angolszász irodalomban szinte egyenlőségjelet tesznek a stressz-cardiomyopathia és a tako-tsubo-cardiomyopthia közé. Célkitűzés: A stressz indukálta reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkciós betegeink adatainak feldolgozásával tisztázni e kórkép lehetséges klinikai formáit és legjellemzőbb klinikai paramétereiket. Módszer: a 2002 és 2007 közötti, a Budai Irgalmasrendi Kórházban kezelt olyan betegek adatainak retrospektív feldolgozása, akiknél kimutatható volt a reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkció, és a koronarográfia negatív eredményt adott, valamint a klinikum és a laborparaméterek nem utaltak myocarditisre. Eredmények: Az elmúlt öt és fél évben összesen 6 olyan esetet találtunk, amelyek megfeleltek a fent leírt kritériumoknak. A betegek 55–80 év közötti nők voltak, akiknél öt esetben volt kimutatható oki tényezője a reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkciónak. Következtetések: A stressz indukálta cardiomyopathiának csak egyik formája a bal kamra csúcsi dilatációja, és ennek a csoportnak a fő közös jellemzője nem a tako-tsubo-szerű balkamra-tágulat, amely nincsen mindig jelen, hanem a szinte mindig meglévő QT-megnyúlás és negatív T-hullámok, amelyek a coronariabetegség nélküli akut, reverzíbilis balkamra-diszfunkciót néhány nappal követik megfigyeléseink és az irodalmi adatok alapján.

Content management is an organisational effort of managing content, particularly in digital format. Although it has been over 25 years since content management was introduced, this field of study is still considered an emerging topic with unresolved issues-in particular, the subject of benefit achievement. Therefore, grounded on an extensive review of 135 articles, the purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits that organisations can gain through the proper use of an Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS). Subsequently, this paper identifies a list of ECMS benefits and proposes an ECMS benefit framework for further exploration into this field. Our result shows that although ECMS does bring benefits to organisations, these benefits are diverse; indicating that there are certain determinants or factors influencing the achievement of such benefits. Moreover, it is also found that in the context of the benefit framework of Shang and Seddon [10], three categories were found relevant to the field of content management: operational benefit, managerial benefit, and strategic benefit.

Self-supervised learning has gained popularity because of its ability to avoid the cost of annotating large-scale datasets. It is capable of adopting self-defined pseudolabels as supervision and use the learned representations for several downstream tasks. Specifically, contrastive learning has recently become a dominant component in self-supervised learning for computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and other domains. It aims at embedding augmented versions of the same sample close to each other while trying to push away embeddings from different samples. This paper provides an extensive review of self-supervised methods that follow the contrastive approach. The work explains commonly used pretext tasks in a contrastive learning setup, followed by different architectures that have been proposed so far. Next, we present a performance comparison of different methods for multiple downstream tasks such as image classification, object detection, and action recognition. Finally, we conclude with the limitations of the current methods and the need for further techniques and future directions to make meaningful progress.

Objectives: The aim of this ecological study was to investigate what the impact of digital learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic was on the burnout and overall mental health (MH) of medical students. Background: During the unprecedented era of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of countries worldwide adopted very strong measures. Universities closed their doors, and education continued through digital learning lectures. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was administered to all 189 eligible candidates before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health was assessed via the MH domain of the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and burnout with the Maslach Burnout Inventory—Student Survey (MBI-SS). Results: The overall response rate was 81.5%. The overall burnout prevalence did not differ significantly between the two periods (pre-COVID-19 18.1% vs. COVID-19 18.2%). However, the burnout prevalence dropped significantly in year 4 (pre-COVID-19 40.7% vs. COVID-19 16.7%, p = 0.011), whereas it increased significantly in year 6 (pre-COVID-19 27.6% vs. COVID-19 50%, p = 0.01). When looking at each MBI-SS dimension separately, we found that emotional exhaustion decreased significantly in year 4 but increased in year 6, and cynicism increased in all years. The overall MH deteriorated significantly between the two periods (pre-COVID-19 58.8 ± 21.6 vs. COVID-19 48.3 ± 23, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Digital learning in medical studies carries significant risks. Not only does the MH deteriorate, but cynicism levels also increase. Emotional exhaustion was found to increase particularly in final year students, who struggle with the lack of clinical experience just before they start working as qualified junior doctors.
