Validity of very short answer versus single best answer questions for undergraduate assessment [PDF]

, 2016
Background Single Best Answer (SBA) questions are widely used in undergraduate and postgraduate medical examinations. Selection of the correct answer in SBA questions may be subject to cueing and therefore might not test the student’s knowledge.

Leadless Versus Transvenous Dual‐Chamber Pacemakers: Real‐World Evidence From AVEIR DR Coverage With Evidence Development Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background AVEIR DR, an industry‐first dual‐chamber leadless pacemaker (LP), provides continuous atrioventricular synchrony through implant‐to‐implant (i2i) communication between atrial and ventricular LP devices. It is important to evaluate the early real‐world comparative safety of AVEIR DR LP.

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.

The X Factor in Immunity: Sex Differences Shaped by the X Chromosome

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT There are sex differences with immune responses where females exhibit stronger immune responses compared to males. Both sex hormones and sex chromosome differences between males and females contribute to the observed sex differences with innate and adaptive immune cell composition and function.

The Use of IL-1 Receptor Antagonist (Anakinra) in Idiopathic Recurrent Pericarditis: A Narrative Review

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2016
Recurrent pericarditis is a complication of acute pericarditis in 20–30% of the patients and is usually idiopathic in nature. The underlying pathogenesis of this condition remains unclear, although immune-mediated mechanisms seem likely.

Overlapping forms of granulomatosis with polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis: Insights from a European multicenter study

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 349-364, March 2026.
Abstract Background Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) are distinct forms of antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)‐associated vasculitis (AAV). Increasing evidence suggests overlapping features, particularly in proteinase 3 (PR3)‐ANCA‐positive EGPA and GPA with eosinophilia.
