Acute ischemic heart disease and interventional cardiology: a time for pause
Abstract
Background
Acute coronary syndrome treatment has changed. Patients now get early angiography and revascularization. This approach relies on angiographic images and technical ability. Medical management based on clinical presentation has declined. Advanced cardiac technology and stu...

Knowledge, attitude, and perceived barriers regarding colorectal cancer screening practices and risk factors among medical students in Saudi Arabia
Abstract
Background
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health problem. It is the third most diagnosed common tumour and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early screening has been shown to decrease the incidence of CRC cancer and decrease mortality. In Saudi Arabia...

Remediation of at-risk medical students: theory in action
Background
Previous work has shown that a programme drawing on a blend of theories improves outcomes for students who fail and repeat their first semester at medical school. Remediation of struggling students is achieved through a cognitive apprenticeship within a small community of inquiry. This requires expert teachers who perform ...

Attributable risk from distributed lag models
Background
Measures of attributable risk are critical in epidemiology, particularly for planning and evaluating public health interventions. Current definitions, however, often overlook temporal relationships between exposure and risk. This study proposes extended definitions of attributable risk within the framework of distributed l...

Medical error disclosure: from the therapeutic alliance to risk management: the vision of the new Italian code of medical ethics
Background
The Italian code of medical deontology stipulates that physicians must inform patients of each unwanted event and its causes, identifying, reporting, and evaluating adverse events and errors. This duty extends beyond the doctor-patient relationship and is central to improving professional service quality and clinical risk mana...

Assessment of reproducibility of cancer survival risk predictions across medical centers
Background
Two key considerations in evaluating survival prediction models are predictability (the ability to accurately predict survival risks) and reproducibility (the ability to generalize predictions across studies or centers). This study explores approaches to assessing the reproducibility of survival risk predictions across medical...
