Accidental exposure to percutaneous needle stick and sharp injuries (NSSIs) and blood and other body fluids is the unintended contact with risky medical instruments or patient secretions during a medical intervention. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the significance of occupational injuries in healthcare professionals was revealed once again. To assess the occupational injuries, we compared rates, distribution and type of exposure to blood and body fluids and NSSIs of health care workers for 2019 (pre-pandemic era) and 2020 (pandemic era) years, respectively.

Our study included data collected by the 'Hospital Infection Control Committee' for the years 2019-2020. Data collected using the active surveillance method were analyzed retrospectively.

During 2019 (pre-pandemic period) and 2020 (pandemic period), 112 (27.65%

) and 82 (21.4%

) NSSIs reported, respectively. Of the exposed HCWs in 2019 (pre-pandemic period), 16.8%

(14) were doctor, 53.6%

(60) were nurse and 47.4%

(14) were intern doctors. In andemic period decreased; however, there was no severe difference at pre-pandemic and pandemic periods concerning exposure to blood and body fluids. Well-designed training and awareness programs can be effective in preventing exposure to NSSIs and blood and other body fluids and exposure to respiratory acquired viruses.

To carry out a review of degenerative subscapularis ruptures (SSC) after their arthroscopic repair and to evaluate whether the results are comparable in terms of pain and function to those of younger patients with traumatic ruptures.

The data of 80 SSC tears of the 660 rotator cuff tears operated on by the same team of surgeons from June 2008 to June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical data of the surgical indications were collected age, gender, laterality, intervention delay, associated pathologies, location of pain, value of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Constant-Murley test (CMT); surgical data were also collected type and size of lesion, associated biceps injury and associated surgical procedure, coracoid stenosis and associated surgical procedure, number and type of anchors used. A statistical study was performed with multiple linear regression test, parametric tests (Student's t or ANOVA) and non-parametric tests.

Of 80 patients, 36 were women (45%) and 44, men (55%); mean arse factors such as the size of the tear, the duration of the symptoms and the association of other pathologies, especially in women.

In competitive residency specialties such as Urology, it has become increasingly challenging to differentiate similarly qualified applicants. Residency interviews are utilized to rank applicants, yet they are often biased and do not explicitly address ACGME core competencies.

We hypothesized a team-based exercise in the urology residency interview centered on building LEGOs assesses core competences.

From 2014-2017, students interviewing for urology residency at two institutions participated in a LEGO building activity. Applicants were assigned to "architect"- describing how to construct a structure - or "builder" - constructing the same structure with pieces-using only verbal cues to assemble the structure. Participants were graded using a rubric assessing competencies of interpersonal communication, problem-based learning, professionalism, and manual dexterity (indicator of procedural skill). The total minimum score was 16 and maximum was 80.

The study took place at two tertiary referral centers Unihe challenge of a team-based task.

Surgical simulation is an integral component of training and has become increasingly vital in the evaluation and assessment of surgical trainees. Simulation proficiency determination has been traditionally based on accuracy and time to completion of various simulated tasks, but we were interested in assessing clinical judgment during a simulated crisis scenario. This study assessed the feasibility of creating a crisis simulator station for vascular surgery and evaluated the performance of vascular surgery integrated residents (0+5) and vascular surgery fellows (5+2) during a technical testing with an integrated crisis scenario.

A Modified Delphi method was used to create vascular surgery crisis simulation stations containing a clinical scenario in conjunction with either an open or endovascular simulator. Senior level vascular surgery trainees from both integrated residencies (0+5) and traditional vascular surgery fellowships (5+2) were then evaluated on two simulation stations 1) Elective carotid endartean endovascular rAAA crisis simulation. Sodium ascorbate Crisis simulation may offer better educational experiences and improved value compared to routine simulation. Further studies using different procedural models and clinical scenarios are needed to assess the validity of crisis simulation in vascular surgery and to better understand the performance disparities found between these training paradigms.The objective of this short report was to describe types of education provided to older, hospitalized patients with cancer and their caregivers using electronic health record data. A total of 437 patients, representing 512 inpatient stays (admissions), met the inclusion criteria. The sample were predominately male (58%) and White (95%). The average patient age at first admission was 74 years (SD 6.21 years) and the average length of admission was 5 days (SD 3.41 days). Out of all admissions, 89% included at least one documented education session with a provider. Three important results emerged from this study 1) education on medications is commonly conveyed to cancer patients (77%), 2) nurses are primarily responsible for providing education (65%), and 3) caregivers are infrequently involved (41%) in patient education. Additional educational topics tailored to the long-term needs of older adults with cancer are warranted. These topics should be delivered by an array of interprofessional care providers with demonstrated competency. Lastly, patient education should ensure inclusion of caregivers as part of the interprofessional cancer care team to promote successful management of cancer-related concerns.
