The aim of the work is a comprehensive assessment of the teaching quality at the Department of Internal Medicine №1 of the Poltava State Medical University. The assessment of monitoring was an anonymous online survey of VI year education medical students that was trained at the modules “Current practice of internal medicine” and “Emergency conditions in the clinic of Internal Medicine” in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was shown that, despite the greatest difficulty of the “Cardiology” and “Hematology” cycles, the overall assessment of the teaching availability for all cycles was 4,16±0,416 points and the value of any cycle was not lower than 4 (5-point system). Given the conditions of distance learning in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 the average score of student satisfaction with the skills acquired was 3.59 ± 0.593. Students noted that the most difficult mastering practical skills were on the “Emergency” (16.14%) and “Cardiology” (15.18%) cycles. This indicates that any cases, situational tasks, demonstration videos can’t replace live communication with the patient, under the guidance of a teacher-mentor, work with modern equipment and simulators. These results reflect that students need bedside teaching activities on patients’ experiences with teacher-mentor. A targeted approach to teaching and evaluating the learning process encourages feedback from students to improve the quality of educational services. Thus, the data allow us to analyze the effectiveness of distance educational quality using anonymous questionnaires, to get feedback and respond to the identified shortcomings.

<p>Dynamic online antimicrobial guideline with stewardship program was attempted in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) to improve the antimicrobial prescribing. The prescribing pattern was evaluated by retrospective prescription audit. Overall 59.4% of admitted patients of four selected departments received antimicrobials. Highest (81.9%) was in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, followed by Surgery (78.5%), Internal Medicine (47.6%) and Pediatrics (46.7%). After launching of guideline, antimicrobial prescribing was significantly reduced in the Department of Internal Medicine (47.6% to 22.2%; p&lt;0.01) and Pediatrics (50.0% to 40.0%; p&lt;0.01). Significant (p&lt;0.05 to p&lt;0.001) change was observed with different antimicrobials in different departments. Consumption of cefixime (8.5 ± 3.7 to 3.9 ± 2.5; p&lt;0.05) and ceftriaxone (6.9 ± 3.4 to 3.1 ± 2.2; p&lt;0.005) was reduced significantly in Internal Medicine. The adherence to guideline was highest in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (91.3%) followed by Pediatrics (86.3%) and Internal Medicine (81.2%).</p>

Background: Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor family that acts as a pleiotropic cytokine capable of stimulating angiogenesis and accelerating atherogenesis. Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) antagonizes PlGF action. Higher levels of PlGF and sFlt-1 have been associated with cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease, yet little is known about their relationship with adverse outcomes in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of PlGF and sFlt-1 with technique survival and cardiovascular events. Methods: We measured serum levels of PlGF and plasma levels of sFlt-1 in 40 PD patients at Nara Medical University. Results: PlGF and sFlt-1 levels were significantly correlated with the dialysate-to-plasma ratio of creatinine (r = 0.342, p = 0.04 and r = 0.554, p < 0.001) although PlGF and sFlt-1 levels were not correlated with total creatinine clearance and total Kt/V. Additionally, both PlGF and sFlt-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with high transport membranes compared to those without (p = 0.039 and p < 0.001, respectively). Patients with PlGF levels above the median had lower technique survival and higher incidence of cardiovascular events than patients with levels below the median, with hazard ratios of 11.9 and 7.7, respectively, in univariate Cox regression analysis. However, sFlt-1 levels were not associated with technique survival or cardiovascular events (p = 0.11 and p = 0.10, respectively). Conclusion: Elevated PlGF and sFlt-1 are significantly associated with high transport membrane status. PlGF may be a useful predictor of technique survival and cardiovascular events in PD patients.
