Open educational resources for otorhinolaryngology : A  pilot study on needs assessment and implementation
CONCLUSION: This project yielded the first OER from a German ENT department, tailored to the German medical curriculum. One significant barrier to OER use in medicine, more than in other fields, is data protection. This challenge can be navigated by obtaining consent to publish patient data as OER. OER hold the promise to play a pivotal role in fostering cooperation and collaboration among educators, aiding educators in lesson preparation, and simultaneously enhancing didactic quality.PMID:38625372 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01465-4 (Source: HNO)

The transition of general practice into an academic discipline: tracing the origins through the first four professors in general practice/family medicine
Scand J Prim Health Care. 2024 Apr 16:1-10. doi: 10.1080/02813432.2024.2335537. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBeing the 'mother' of most clinical specialties, general practice is as old as medicine itself. However, as a recognized academic discipline within medical schools, general practice has a relatively short life span. A decisive step forward was taken in 1956 when the University of Edinburgh established its Department of General Practice, and appointed the world's inaugural professor in the field in 1963. During the 1960s, the pioneering move in Edinburgh was followed by universities in the Netherlands (University of...

The role of place in intergroup conflicts and intragroup solidarity: Recent advances and perspectives.
Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 30(1), Feb 2024, 1-8; doi:10.1037/pac0000740People tend to have strong psychological bonds with places such as neighborhoods, schools, towns, and countries. These people–place bonds can be of different nature (e.g., place ownership, place attachment), develop for different reasons (e.g., first arrival, length of stay), and generate different group dynamics in specific contexts. With this special issue, we sought to advance our understanding of the potential of people–place bonds to divide groups and instigate intergroup conflicts, as well as the potential to stimulat...

Multipronged effects of increased screen time on the nutritional imbalance: A cross-sectional study of students of Amritsar aged 6-16 years
CONCLUSIONS: More the screen time, the more the chances of missing meals. Being awake for a long odd time leads to increased consumption of foods/snacks furthermore. Regarding the harmful effects of fast foods, the source of information was from schools, but only 41.4% were aware about these effects.PMID:38605800 | PMC:PMC11006083 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_699_23 (Source: Primary Care)

Crafting British medicine in the Empire: the establishment of medical schools in India and Canada, 1763-1837
Med Hist. 2024 Apr 12:1-18. doi: 10.1017/mdh.2024.6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the early nineteenth century, medical schools became a growing means of regulating medicine in the British Empire, both in the metropole and in two colonies: India and Canada. By examining the establishment of medical schools in Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto between the end of the Seven Years' War and the beginning of the Victorian era, this article argues that the rise of the British Empire was a key factor in the gradual replacement of private medical apprenticeships with institutional medical education.
