Introduction: In the health care area, tuition is an essential part to provide the instrument that proves the graduates have acquired the necessary skills in their specialties. Objective: Evaluation of the improvement in quality of resources for residents after standardized digital training program with rubrics. Methods: Prospective observational study of first year medical residents in seven medical specialties in four different training centers. Five dimensions were considered to scale the quality of medical resident research: Validation of rubric in investigation methodology topics for each block in b-learning mode; initial and ending evaluation; colloquium investigation rubric; results of final investigation; satisfaction survey of 360 degrees. The instruments were validated using the delphi method with a minimum agreement of 0.8. We considered global values greater than 80 points as good quality. Results: 85 medical residents participated and obtained a final average of 80.62 (±9.59), and the satisfaction of the course was qualified as excellent/good in 82.5%. A positive relation was observed between the scope of the evaluation and the level of satisfaction. Mean quality score for the course was good. There is no relationship between the research experience of the students and the final average r = 0.123 (p = 0.291). Conclusions: The implementation of research seminars in b-learning mode results in improving the education program for health residents after a training program with a rubric system and their acquiring research skills, and, as a consequence, the final product also showed better quality, even when the student did not have any experience in a scientific publication.
Introduction: In the medical area, teaching is essential since it must offer the appropriate instruments to demonstrate that graduates have acquired the necessary skills. Objective: Evaluate the quality of research in residents of medical specialties after a standardized digital training program with rubrics. Methods: An observational, prospective research study in resident physicians of seven medical specialties first-year of an introductory program to methodology. It is integrated with the result variable through the quality of the final product and the quality variable will be measured with an ad hoc questionnaire validated by the Delphi method with a consistency level of 3-3. The data will be integrated into a base of the SPSS system and determined with the Chi-square test considering a minimum significance of 0.05. Results: 85 first-year medical residents (n=85) enrolled in the Research Seminar. The mean age was 31.34 years (± 3.96). About gender Male 38±31.13 Female 31.51±3.83. The global final grade was 80.61 (± 9.59) and the global sat-isfaction of the course was referred to as good by 62.2%. We observed a positive relationship between the scope of evaluation and the level of satisfaction. Conclusion: The research seminar implementation in a b-learning mode in response to the educational needs in medical residents for the field of health education showed a relationship between higher qualification, higher satisfaction, as well as determining that the comprehensive evaluation through the use of rubrics standardized allowed to delimit the deficiencies and strengths for timely feedback influencing the process of acquiring skills and the quality of the final product.
Uterus didelphys bicollis is a congenital malformation of the female genital tract caused by the failure of the Müllerian ducts to fuse during embryonic development. It represents 5% of uterine malformations, with an estimated prevalence of 5.5 to 6.7% in the general population, 8% in women with infertility, and up to 24% in patients with a history of recurrent miscarriage. We present the case of a 34-year-old female patient with an inci-dental diagnosis of uterus didelphys bicollis and uterine myomatosis, suspected after complications with IUD insertion and a history of abnormal uterine bleeding, confirmed by ultrasound and hysterosalpingography. The presence of uterus didelphys and myo-mas is rare, with isolated reports that usually make the diagnosis in surgical settings such as cesarean section or hysterectomy. In this case, noninvasive imaging diagnosis high-lights its clinical value by guiding decision-making without resorting to surgery.
Background: Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (UPD) has emerged as an alternative modality for initiating kidney replacement therapy when immediate hemodialysis is not available. However, early initiation after catheter placement may increase the risk of mechanical complications. Evidence from real-world settings, particularly in resource-limited healthcare systems, remains limited. Objective: To determine the frequency of early complications associated with urgent-start peritoneal dialysis and to identify clinical factors associated with their occurrence. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study including adult patients with chronic kidney disease who initiated peritoneal dialysis within 14 days after catheter placement at a public hospital in Mexico. Patients were followed for 30 days after dialysis initiation. The primary outcome was the occurrence of any dialysis-related complication within 30 days after initiation of peritoneal dialysis. Comparisons were performed according to dialysis initiation timing (<72 h vs. ≥72 h). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of complications. Results: Sixty-five patients were included, of whom 29 (44.6%) developed complications within the first 30 days. Mechanical complications predominated, particularly pericatheter leakage (18.5%) and drainage failure (10.8%). Patients who initiated dialysis within 72 h after catheter placement experienced a significantly higher complication rate. In multivariable analysis, initiation of peritoneal dialysis within <72 h remained independently associated with complications (OR 5.75, 95% CI 1.06–31.29, p = 0.043). Conclusions: Initiating peritoneal dialysis within 72 h after catheter placement was associated with a significantly increased risk of early complications. When clinically feasible, delaying dialysis initiation beyond 72 h may reduce mechanical complications in urgent-start peritoneal dialysis programs.
