Summary: The recent KDOQI guidelines stress the importance of improving hemodialysis cannulation outcomes, highlighting the need for structured training for clinical personnel in dialysis clinics. Utilizing sensor data for quantifying cannulation skill and implementing simulator-based training could potentially enhance outcomes for end-stage kidney disease patients, similar to advancements in other medical specialties.

Summary: After initial failed NKPS, IET should be considered for deep biliary cannulation before more invasive treatments like BDS. PTBD may serve as an alternative therapy for patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Complications were lowest in the IET group and mild compared to the other two groups.

Summary: Transpancreatic sphincterotomy (TPS) is a viable alternative to needle-knife precut (NKP) for difficult biliary access in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), showing a higher success rate and lower risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) compared to NKP.

Summary: This study investigated the basis for choosing a cannulation technique for arteriovenous fistula in Sweden. The results showed that local guidelines, nurses' judgement, and consultation with colleagues greatly influenced the choice of technique. Buttonhole was the most preferred technique and considered a good option by most nurses and units.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of needle-knife precut (PS-NKP) and wire-guided cannulation (PS-WGC) after pancreatic stent insertion in biliary interventions. The results showed that the success rate of cannulation was higher and the incidence of complications was lower in the PS-NKP group compared with the PS-WGC group.

Summary: This study investigated the predictors of initial failure of needle-knife pre-cut papillotomy (NKP) in patients with difficult biliary cannulation. The results showed that surgically altered anatomy, endoscopists' experience, and bleeding during NKP were significantly associated with initial NKP failure.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes and effectiveness of the University of Geneva InZone-Raft Basic Medical Training Course in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya with a previous incarnation of the same course in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. The research found that the Kakuma course yielded better outcomes and was more effective in terms of learning than the Dadaab course.

Summary: Handheld robotic laparoscopic instruments offer a combination of advantages between robotic and conventional instruments, with potential benefits for reducing tissue damage during surgery. Effective training can decrease the maximum force and impulse of operators, with handheld robotic instrument group showing slower learning curve but lower suture tension than conventional instrument group. Maximum force may be more sensitive than impulse for measuring performance progress.

Summary: This review examines the literature regarding outcomes of staff training in physical interventions across care sectors. The results show that there is limited evidence to support the effectiveness and application of physical interventions. Many studies lacked clear descriptions of course content and the physical interventions themselves, making it difficult to compare across different training programs.

Summary: This study conducted an interactive stress assessment in basic animal science courses to evaluate the competence in recognising and assessing stress in animals. Participants showed significant improvement in performance, with animal caretakers achieving the best results. The study highlights the importance of training in acquiring professional qualifications and the subjective influence on stress assessment.

Summary: This study presents a simulation model of COVID-19 outbreaks in a U.S. Army basic training setting and provides practical approaches to improve prevention. The findings suggest that virus introductions from trainers pose a greater risk than the number of trainees, and the risk of outbreaks is highly influenced by false-positive results during entry testing. These findings offer practical recommendations to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in basic training and ensure a continuous flow of new soldiers. The study highlights the importance of bespoke modeling to inform prevention in diverse institutional settings.

Summary: This study compared the safety and efficacy of direct cannulation of the ascending aorta with cannulation of peripheral arteries in the treatment of type A dissection patients. The results showed that direct cannulation of the ascending aorta is a safe strategy for arterial cannulation, allowing for rapid cannulation and antegrade perfusion.
