The aim: To analyze the challenges and approaches used in medical universities in different countries during the transfer of training from offline to online format during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods: Electronic databases of Scielo, Scopus and PubMed were searched using keyword searches. Conclusions: The use of a large number of online tools and ICTs to develop the clinical skills of medical students has become a real pedagogical breakthrough in medical education. Innovations and technological efficiency of educational tools will change medical education forever. But it is difficult to give an unambiguous assessment of the delayed effects of these changes, since not much is yet known about the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the medical education.

We examined the long-term impact of advanced testis cancer and its curative therapies on emotional states and outlook on life, employment, intimate relationships, and sexual function. The sample consisted of 74 nonseminomatous and seminomatous tumor patients who had completed treatment two to ten years ago. The majority of men felt that surviving the debilitating treatment(s) was both an accomplishment and worthwhile trade-off. Neither the rate of unemployment (7%) nor divorce (10%) was remarkable. The most critical outcome was in the area of sexual functioning. One fourth to one half of the men reported some type of sexual impairment. Multiple regression results indicate that ejaculatory dysfunction, a side effect of the retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, is significantly associated with distress about both infertility and sexual impairment. Men with sexual impairment report more psychological symptoms, strained intimate relationships, and negative changes in other areas of life functioning. These data, while not definitive, suggest that there are delayed effects and that the subgroup of men, who are least likely to disclose these problems to physicians, are at greater risk for the deleterious outcomes.

UNSTRUCTURED Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has severely prevented the traditional face-to-face teaching, including the case-based learning (CBL), in medical education. While learning and instructing online has become the main way of teaching worldwide during the pandemic, it cannot yet fully meet the needs of medical students to improve their clinical thinking ability that requires experience in the hospital. Therefore, the online CBL shows special advantages in the situation. Here, we have examined the advantages and limitations, innovation, and recent development of internet based CBL (I-CBL) in clinical medical education to not only meet the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also put forward new directions for internet based future medical education. Methods: We compared three leading methods of I-CBL described in the literature, i.e., WeChat, Online Conference, and Online Learning Platform. We analyzed the key development of I-CBL and then suggested new directions for further expanding it. Results: WeChat has more advantages over the other two methods in many aspects in China, where it is the main smart phone app for communication. Therefore, it is recommended that universities adopt WeChat or similar apps to enable I-CBL. Conclusion: There are still many gaps in the development of I-CBL. Compared with the short-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the long-term impact and significance of I-CBL is more noteworthy. Colleges and universities should be prepared to invest into integrating high-tech with I-CBL to modernize medical education in the internet 5G age.

Abstract. Background: There has been no systematic work on the short- or long-term impact of the installation of crisis phones on suicides from bridges. The present study addresses this issue. Method: Data refer to 219 suicides from 1954 through 2013 on the Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg, Florida. Six crisis phones with signs were installed in July 1999. Results: In the first decade after installation, the phones were used by 27 suicidal persons and credited with preventing 26 or 2.6 suicides a year. However, the net suicide count increased from 48 in the 13 years before installation of phones to 106 the following 13 years or by 4.5 additional suicides/year (t =3.512, p < .001). Conclusion: Although the phones prevented some suicides, there was a net increase after installation. The findings are interpreted with reference to suggestion/contagion effects including the emergence of a controversial bridge suicide blog.
