Serial envenomation in a snake handler with severe coaguloapathy
We present a rare case study of a 37-year-old man with a history of multiple prior snake bites who presented to the emergency department for treatment of a rattlesnake bite to his right hand. Upon examination, he was found to be mildly hypertensive and exhibited significant coagulation abnormalities. Initial treatment included six vials of Crotalidae polyvalent immune fab; however, his coagulopathy was so severe that he required an additional eight vials. Continuous monitoring and calculations of Snakebite Severity Score demonstrated resolution of coagulopathy within 36 hours of admission. We believe the patient's unusual ...

How people learn: insights for medical faculty
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2023 Dec 20;37(1):172-176. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2278970. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTTo increase medical students' and residents' understanding and retention, faculty need to teach from a knowledge standpoint and understanding of how individuals learn. We know from cognitive information processing that learners remember only a small portion of what they read or hear but remember up to 90% of information when strong active learning modalities are included. Faculty also need to be aware of different learning styles-kinesthetic, visual, and auditory-and ensure that they are including methods that...

A comparison of clinical outcomes associated with dosing metronidazole every 8  hours versus every 12 hours: a systematic review and metaanalysis
CONCLUSIONS: This review suggests that dosing metronidazole every 12 hours is as effective as every-8-hour dosing for hospitalized patients with anaerobic infections. These encouraging findings would benefit from validation by a multicenter randomized controlled trial since there would be many benefits to a 12-hour dosing interval while achieving similar clinical outcomes with traditional dosing. The studies in this systematic review excluded patients with Clostridioides difficile and central nervous system and amebiasis infections, so the findings do not apply to these infection types.PMID:38174024 | PMC:PMC10761045 | DOI...
