Neurophobia among medical students and non-specialist doctors in Sri Lanka
Conclusion: Neurology is considered a difficult subject by undergraduates and non-specialist doctors of Sri Lanka.

International Issues: Expanding neurologic education to resource-poor countries: Lessons from Moi Teaching Hospital
It is well-recognized that there is a disparity in health care resources and availability in low- and middle-income countries, often due to a combination of poverty, lack of clean water and adequate nutrition, and political conflict. Yet it seems less attention is given to challenges specific to the provision of medical education in such developing nations. Besides war, famine, drought, and the AIDS epidemic, eastern African nations carry a heavy burden of neurologic disease1 and insufficient infectious disease programs,2 coupled with a paucity of subspecialty-trained providers.

Treatment decision-making in the medical encounter: Comparing the attitudes of French surgeons and their patients in breast cancer care
Conclusion: Most surgeons reported adopting the “some sharing” approach. However, one patient out of three reported that they would have liked to participate more in the TDM process.Practice implications: Surgeons need to ask patients what their preferences for involvement in TDM are and then think about ways to accommodate both their own and patients’ preferences regarding the TDM process to be used in each encounter. In addition, decision aids could be offered to surgeons to help them discuss treatment options with their patients.

The effectiveness of HIV/AIDS school-based sexual health education programmes in Nigeria: a systematic review
HIV/AIDS is one of the most important public health challenges facing Nigeria today. Recent evidence has revealed that the adolescent population make up a large proportion of the 3.7% reported prevalence rate among Nigerians aged 15–49 years. School-based sexual health education has therefore become an important tool towards fighting this problem. This systematic review assesses the efficacy of these educational programmes and examines how future programmes and their evaluations can improve. Primary literature published between January 2002 and May 2012, which measured sexual health outcomes among school-based Nigeri...

Influence of dental education on adoption and integration of technological aids in the delivery of endodontic care by dental practitioners: a survey
CONCLUSIONS: UG education is a communication channel with long-lasting importance for adoption and integration of technology by DPs. Exposure to innovations (awareness) during UG education is adequate for integration of technology. Continuing dental education is as valuable as UG education for adoption of technology for older graduates.PMID:35531869 | DOI:10.1080/00016357.2022.2071986
