Article Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) in conjunction with Case-Based Learning (CBL) and mind mapping methodologies in fostering the clinical competencies of ultrasound residents.
Methods: A cohort of forty-two general practitioners who underwent standardized training at the Department of Ultrasound Medicine at Tianyou Hospital, affiliated with Wuhan University of Science and Technology, from December 1, 2022 to December 1, 2024, were selected for this research. These practitioners were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group using a random number table. The experimental group engaged in training utilizing the Mini-CEX combined with CBL and mind mapping approach, whereas the control group adhered to a traditional training regimen. Subsequently, comparative analyses were conducted on theoretical and practical test scores as well as clinical teaching satisfaction ratings between the two groups. Additionally, variations in Mini-CEX evaluation scores for the experimental group were assessed at admission, after two weeks, and after four weeks of training.
Results: The training approach that integrated Mini-CEX with CBL and mind mapping demonstrated significantly superior outcomes compared to the traditional training method regarding theoretical and practical performance, as well as teaching satisfaction, with statistically significant differences noted (p < 0.05). A comparison of Mini-CEX scores among 21 general practitioners at two and four weeks post-training versus admission yielded statistically significant results (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The amalgamation of Mini-CEX with CBL and mind mapping methodologies markedly enhances the instructional effectiveness of standardized resident training.

Background: Left atrial (LA) diverticula are focal outpouchings of the LA wall and may increase ischemic stroke risk. We studied recurrent ischemic stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke and LA diverticula detected on cardiac computed tomography.
Methods: We used data from a prospective cohort study of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing cardiac computed tomography acquired during the acute stroke imaging protocol.

Navigating in diverse environments to find food, shelter, or mating partners is an important ability for nearly all animals. Insects have evolved diverse navigational strategies to survive in challenging and unknown environments. In the insect brain, the central complex (CX) plays an important role in spatial orientation and directed locomotion.

Article Synopsis
- This case report discusses a 35-month-old boy with CBL syndrome who experienced life-threatening Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections and rod-cone dystrophy (RCD) that appeared similar to severe panuveitis.
- Genetic testing indicated a pathogenic variant related to CBL syndrome, leading to complications including encephalitis and severe eye inflammation.
- The report emphasizes the importance of considering RCD in CBL syndrome patients with unexplained eye inflammation and suggests using carbonic anhydrase inhibitors as a treatment for cystoid macular edema.
