Background: Academic integrity is a cornerstone of scientific research. However, increasing competition may cause applicants seeking competitive positions to report their research contributions inaccurately. An orthopaedic research fellowship offers substantial value for medical students and recent medical graduates to strengthen their applications for a residency position.

Introduction Simulation-based training has been a vital part of medical education since Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) was introduced, and new guidelines since 2023 have expanded to include simulation as a mandatory methodology of teaching. This method enables learners to build and develop both technical and non-technical abilities in a safe and controlled setting, enhancing their preparedness for real-life medical scenarios. Simulation-based training improves skill acquisition and retention and enhances learners' confidence, reduces anxiety, reinforces learning, corrects errors, and promotes reflective practice, in contrast with the traditional method of teaching.

Purpose This study aims to compare the initial three-month outcomes of a single-center experience with small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism using the VisuMax 500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) versus the VisuMax 800 (SMILE Pro®; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). This experience is compared to the US Food and Drug Administration approval studies and published literature. Patients and methods The initial 45 eyes (23 patients) that underwent SMILE with the VisuMax 500 in 2018 were compared with the initial 42 eyes (21 patients) that underwent SMILE Pro® with the VisuMax 800 in 2024.

Background Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can be reliably detected at the bedside using the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). The functional outcome in stroke patients can be predicted with the use of acute-phase ONSD dynamics. Objectives To determine the predictive accuracy of ONSD on days 0, one, and three for the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients presented to emergency medicine as measured by Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score.

Introduction Proximal femoral fractures are a major cause of disability, particularly in aging populations, with an increasing incidence. Although osteosynthesis remains the first-line treatment, failures are common due to various complications. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred salvage procedure in such cases, despite its technical challenges.
