Advancing Critical Skills and Academic Success Through Structured Self and Peer Evaluation in Undergraduate Health Care Ethics and Law Course

Self and peer assessment are increasingly recognized as valuable pedagogical tools in higher education. However, their relationship to academic performance and critical skill development in healthcare ethics education remains under-explored. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of structured assessment methods in healthcare ethics education by examining their relationship with academic achievement, peer and self-evaluations, student demographics, and the development of critical thinking skills. A prospective longitudinal study was conducted on 348 third-year undergraduate medical stu

Identifying Factors Associated with Breast Self-Examination Behavior in Adolescent Girls: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on Their Perspectives

Breast self-examination (BSE) is a vital strategy for the early detection of breast cancer. Although adolescent girls have the potential to perform BSE independently, its practice remains low and is influenced by a range of individual and environmental factors. This study aimed to identify factors associated with BSE behavior among adolescent girls based on their own perceptions, including knowledge, attitude, family support, cultural beliefs, and the role of healthcare professionals. This was an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional design. A total of 70 female students from SM

Lipiodol in Genicular Artery Embolization for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Comprehensive Review of Evidence, Mechanisms, and Clinical Applications

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint disease that significantly impairs function and quality of life. Genicular artery embolization (GAE) has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment targeting pathological synovial neovascularization to reduce inflammation and pain. Among various embolic agents, Lipiodol has attracted growing interest due to its inherent radiopacity, high viscosity, and gradual resorption, which may confer a favorable safety profile compared with permanent agents. This review summarizes current evidence on the use of Lipiodol in GAE, discussing disease pat

Ameliorative Effect of Vitamin D on Colchicine-Induced Skeletal Muscle Toxicity in Adult Male Albino Rats: Light and Electron microscopic Study

Colchicine induced skeletal muscle toxicity is described in various literatures. Patients with myopathy usually complain from muscle pain and weakness that interfere with daily activities. Vitamin D plays major role in skeletal muscle structure and function. The purpose of this study was to determine whether administering adult male albino rats vitamin D would help them recover from the skeletal muscle injury triggered by colchicine. A total of forty adult male albino rats were split into four groups at random, with 10 rats in each group: Group I was the control group, Group II rats were given

Interleukin-6 as a Biomarker in Patients with Depression Treated with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common psychiatric condition with a complex and multifactorial etiology. Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between depression and systemic inflammation. Inflammatory biomarkers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) have been found to be elevated in patients with depression, indicating a possible role of immune system dysregulation in its pathogenesis. To investigate the levels of selected inflammatory biomarkers in patients diagnosed with depression and to evaluate the effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on these biomarkers during fo
