Ectoparasites
Pediculosis is an infestation of lice on the body, head, or pubic region that occurs worldwide. Lice are ectoparasites of the order Phthiraptera that feed on the blood of infested hosts. Their morphotype dictates their clinical features. Body lice may transmit bacterial pathogens that cause trench fever, relapsing fever, and epidemic typhus, which are potentially life-threatening diseases that remain relevant in contemporary times. Recent data from some settings suggest that head lice may harbor pathogens.

Review of Literature for Air Medical Evacuation High-Level Containment Transport
ConclusionsLimited peer-reviewed literature exists on AE-HLCT, including important aspects related to healthcare worker fatigue, alertness, shift scheduling, and clinical care performance. This hinders the sharing of best practices to inform evacuations and equip teams for future outbreaks. Despite the successful use of different aircraft and technologies, the unique nature of the mission opens the opportunity for greater coordination and development of consensus standards for AE-HLCT operations.

It Is Time to Prioritize Education and Well-Being Over Workforce Needs in Residency Training
Residents inhabit an ambiguous world. They are no longer medical students but are still learners. They are not yet attendings but are still paid employees. This ambiguity leads to a misalignment of departmental incentives and trainee expectations. Trainees expect their learning and well-being to be prioritized, while departments are under pressure to meet staffing needs and cut costs. This sets up a fundamental disconnect between the “formal” Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) message of well-being and the dominant “hidden” workplace forces that pull in the opposite direction, possibly con...

The knowledge level and perceptions towards COVID-19 among Turkish final year medical students.
CONCLUSION: We determined that final year medical students are knowledgeable and aware of this pandemic. We, medical educators, should inculcate relevant knowledge and educate the medical students to improve practices in the current pandemic, as well as for future epidemics. Different learning techniques should be added to the curriculum, especially at the time which widespread panic and uncertainty are prevalent.
