In a traditional curriculum, students get ample time to get a detailed understanding and undergraduate-level knowledge which is elaborative and sufficient for each subject. Although the students gain ample knowledge of the subject, they lack in correlating the gained information with other subjects. This is not the students’ fault; instead, it is due to the lack of scope of correlation in the traditional curriculum. In this curriculum, students are not taught about the applicability of the gained information. Consequently, basic science or pre-clinical subjects seem irrelevant to the students as if the clinical subjects are independent of these subjects, whereas the reality is the opposite (Watmough et al., 2009). The knowledge of the basic subjects serves as the targeted goal of clinical manoeuvre. Traditional curriculum receives criticism for demotivating students to learn basic subjects to practice as a doctor. Moreover, the traditional curriculum is a more lecture-dependent one-way teaching method devoid of a student-oriented approach (Christianson et al., 2007). There is no scope for problem-solving or critical thinking rather than pedagogical learning. Another disadvantage of the traditional curriculum is that students need to wait until clinical years to have experience with patients. Therefore, there is no opportunity for clinical skill development earlier in this curriculum (Rahman, 2022).","PeriodicalId":9287,"journal":{"name":"Borneo Journal of Medical Sciences (BJMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80640221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there were several recent outbreaks involving Corynebacterium species reported across the globe. We report a rare case of Corynebacterium simulans causes infective endocarditis which led to debilitating embolic events. A 39-year-old lady presented with a prolonged fever for three weeks. She was in septic shock and had dense right hemiplegia, a pansystolic murmur at the mitral area and hepatosplenomegaly. There were no peripheral stigmata of infective endocarditis. An urgent computed tomography (CT) of the brain showed an infarct at the left corona radiata extending to the left parietal, left basal ganglia and left temporal lobe. She deteriorated and required mechanical ventilation and intensive care. Echocardiogram showed vegetation at both her anterior and posterior mitral valve leaflets leading to severe mitral regurgitation. Splenic infarction was seen in her contrasted computed tomography (CECT) of her abdomen. Her three samples of blood culture were positive for Corynebacterium simulans. She deteriorated rapidly and went into multi-organ failure and succumbed. Corynebacterium species should be taken seriously and should not be neglected as a contaminant as it can cause potentially fatal complications as described in this case report.","PeriodicalId":9287,"journal":{"name":"Borneo Journal of Medical Sciences (BJMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83438574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to identify the need for developing a MOOC module on risk communication in global health emergencies to use as a teaching tool for continuing nursing education programmes. Following the principles of a qualitative research design, a total of 14 participants, including two nursing lecturers from Kulliyyah of Nursing, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), two nurse managers (matrons), two emergency physicians, and eight registered nurses (RN) from SASMEC @ IIUM, were selected through purposive sampling method and interviewed using semi-structured interview-guided questions. The interview data were analysed using thematic analysis. The participants stated that continuing nursing education (CNE) was essential for professional development (PD) and a resource for enhancing existing skills and knowledge. Risk communication skills were crucial for nurses in emergency healthcare contexts. The majority of this study’s participants were unfamiliar with MOOC courses and stated that support and motivation from their institution, as well as monitoring of participation and course completion, were needed to implement MOOC courses successfully. To sum up, understanding of continuing education, current risk communication knowledge and literacy, and awareness of MOOCs were explored. These realities will support thedevelopment of the risk communication MOOC module that will help improve nurses’ risk communication skills and better prepare them for future global health emergencies.

The most common cause of POVL is vascular occlusion. We present a case of a 39-year-old male with severe mixed aortic valve disease, who had to undergo double valve replacement (mechanical) due to extensive calcification. On postoperative day 7, he complained of sudden painless loss of vision in the right eye. He was diagnosed with right eye central retinal artery occlusion and was discharged home with permanent right eye blindness. Neuro-ophthalmologic complications following non-ocular surgery occur rarely. POVL occurs more likely when there are calcified heart valvular lesions, higher perioperative blood loss, hypotension, low systolic blood pressure, anaemia, hypothermia, prolonged surgery time and age >50 years old. In our case report we have encountered a couple of risk factors for ischaemia which are heavily calcified aortic and mitral valves, lower mean arterial pressure and bypass time >5 hours. Postoperative blindness can be avery serious and devastating problem with no known or established treatment. Stroke is a well-known and established complication of cardiac surgery, but central retinal artery occlusion causing loss of vision is rarely covered and explained.","PeriodicalId":9287,"journal":{"name":"Borneo Journal of Medical Sciences (BJMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78869812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethical approval was achieved from proper authority. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) ICH E6 protocol was followed in order to ensure safety and efficacy. Data was collected from the log book of the ER department. Data were transferred to a spreadsheet to make a master sheet. Valuables of individual columns were analyzed and tabulated. Comparison was performed between the result of this study and other international studies. About 7.3% of all ER admissions were for the Neurosurgical cases. Among the Neurosurgical cases (n=3588) there was clear predominance of male gender (81%). Majority (45%) of the Neurosurgical patients were from children and teen age group. Nearly 50% of the patients reported to ER with the history of Road Traffic Accident (RTA). Head injury was the commonest (61%) type of injury. Approximately 45% patients were admitted in to general ward whereas 42% patients were discharged from ER after providing primary treatment.

This study is to evaluate the demographics, etiology, management and visual outcome of paediatric ocular trauma in Sabah. This is a retrospective review of all ocular trauma occurring in the paediatric age group from age 12 years old and below from January to December 2014 at Hospital Wanita Dan Kanak-Kanak, Sabah. Medical records were reviewed and the data was examined based on Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT) system. Incomplete case notes were excluded from the study. A total of 37 cases were accumulated during the study period. All the paediatric ocular trauma cases were admitted and accounted for 13.4% of the total paediatric eye ward admission. However, 4 cases were excluded from the study as the medical records were incomplete. There were 26(78.8%) males while 7(21.2%) female children with a ratio male: female of 3.7: 1. There were 31(93.9%) unilateral ocular injury cases while only 2(6.1%) bilateral injury caused by chemical injury. The most common type of ocular trauma was closed globe injury totaling 24 (72.7%) cases. Trauma caused by blunt object contributed to the highest mode of injury 15 (45.5%) of cases. Open globe injuries which had poor visual outcome accounted for 9 (27.3%) cases. Most of patients required surgical treatment 21(63.6%) while 12(36.4%) cases treated non-surgically. In conclusion, ocular trauma was more common in male and pre-school age group. The main aetiology was blunt injury. Most of the cases treated surgically. Poorer visual outcome was observed in open globe injury.","PeriodicalId":9287,"journal":{"name":"Borneo Journal of Medical Sciences (BJMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87664956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
