Join Dr. Eve Purdy from Canada to learn how to dissect the culture of your working environment through the lens of Anthropology. In this podcast, she describes simulation as a means to create moments of cultural compression and how that can be beneficial to evaluate and thus potentially modify the […]
What really happens in the lung in COVID-19 pneumonia? Although several studies suggest raised levels of inflammatory mediators in COVID-19, it is pertinent to compare levels observed in other types of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). IL-6 levels may be considerably lower in patients with severe COVID-19 compared with […]

A Randomized Trial of Hydroxychloroquine as Postexposure Prophylaxis for Covid-19 The only strategies that worked so far in COVID-19 to mitigate transmission are rapid identification of cases, isolation, contact tracing, and self-quarantine of those exposed. To date, no medication has been shown to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission. This trial hypothesized […]

Inclusion Criteria – Hospitalized patients who had clinically suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection Exclusion – if dexamethasone was unavailable […]
HAEMATOLOGY Briefly outline the components involved in haemostasis Haemostasis is the natural process which allows circulation to respond to vessel injury in a way which minimises blood loss. There are three main components of haemostasis: Vasoconstriction: Trauma in vessel wall causes: local myogenic spasm and local factor release from […]
