Distance Learning For Military Doctors in Crisis Situations: The DILEMMA Cross-Sectional Study Results by Nataliia Sydorova, Valerii Savytskyi, Taras Kuts

“…In addition, the special categories of respondents among students were identified by us, which lead to the destructuring of the response matrix and the nonparametric nature of some data, dictate the need to censor extremely negative (“denialists”) and extremely positive (“pleasers”) respondents when assessing the quality of teaching by anonymous survey of students, and therefore the size of the initial sample depending on contingent should be increased by 16–25%. …”

Strategies to Lower In-Hospital Mortality in STEMI Patients with Primary PCI: Analysing Two Years Data from a High-Volume Interventional Centre by Alexandru Burlacu, Grigore Tinica, Igor Nedelciuc, Paul Simion, Bogdan Artene, Adrian Covic

“…We suggested that in order to lower mortality under 5 percent, focus should be on creating a cardiogenic shock system based on the US experience. A shock hub-centre, together with specific transfer algorithms, mobile interventional teams, ventricular assist devices, and surgical hybrid procedures seem to be the next step toward a better management of ST-elevation MI patients and subsequently lower death rates.…”
