A study was conducted to assess and compare the knowledge of blood transfusion practices among medical students and residents in Lebanese and Saudi medical institutions. The online survey consisted of 26 questions: 4 about personal data and experience with transfusion and 22 about knowledge on transfusion practices in the areas of blood donation and donor selection, production and storage of blood components, selection of appropriate blood components, administration of blood components, transfusion reactions, and complications. One hundred and twenty-six students from Saudi Arabia, 84 students from Lebanon, 31 residents from Saudi Arabia, and 23 residents from Lebanon participated in the survey. There were no significant differences between students' and residents' levels of knowledge. Similarly, there was no difference between the students' level of knowledge in the two countries. The correct responses (48% and 46%, for students and residents, respectively) were below the acceptable limit of 60% for both groups. This reflects the need for more vigorous and well-structured education and training for both students and residents.

Myostatin (Mstn)-A, the main isoform among Mstn splicing variants, functions as a negative regulator, whereas Mstn-B functions as a positive regulator in muscle development. Because broiler chickens are a fast-growing breed raised for meat production and layer chickens are a slow-growing breed raised for egg production, differences in the expression of Mstn isoforms between the two distinct breeds were analyzed in this study. There was no difference in the expression levels of total Mstn (Mstn-A and -B forms) during embryonic development and at D33 between the two breeds. Interestingly, the ratios of Mstn-B to -A were significantly higher in the broiler compared to the layer at most ages. In pectoralis major muscle (PM) tissue, the cross-sectional area (CSA) of muscle fiber was significantly greater in the broiler. The broiler also showed greater bundle CSA and a similar fiber number per bundle compared to the layer at D5 and D33. These data suggest that the greater bundle CSA with myofiber hypertrophy in the broilers is associated with greater muscle growth. The relationship between the expression of Mstn isoforms and growth rate can be used as a potential genetic marker for the selection of higher muscle growth in chickens.

INTRODUCTION The Medical Reception Station (MRS) in Dhekelia provides a prehospital emergency care (PHEC) service for the Eastern Sovereign Base Area and surrounding Cypriot towns. This service has been evaluated previously but some important aspects of care have not yet been measured. The primary aim of this study was to undertake the most comprehensive service evaluation of the demand for the PHEC service at MRS Dhekelia over a 12-month period. The secondary aim of this study was to compare findings in 2018 to those in 1995-1998 and 2013-2016. METHODS All calls to the PHEC team between 01/07/2017 and 30/06/2018 were reviewed and compared with previously reported data from 1995 to 1998 and 2013 to 2016. Data were collected from the occurrence book, the logbook used by the PHEC team to record the details of each call. RESULTS There were 164 calls to the PHEC service during the current study period. The number of activations has decreased since the 2013-2016 period but remains greater than 1995-1998. In every month there was a call to a scene where more than one casualty was present, with the highest number being nine patients at one call. More calls were received during the day (55%). There were more calls because of trauma than medical complaints (55% vs 45%). Trauma calls have reduced over 20 years. The frequency of neurological and psychiatric complaints has increased over 20 years. CONCLUSIONS The PHEC service at MRS Dhekelia is frequently used. The team consistently face with scenes with more than one casualty. Trauma is becoming less frequent but psychiatric and neurological complaints are increasingly common. These findings are important for training and service provision.

Introduction SINCE the beginning of the century there has been a change in the pattern of suicide, associated with an increasing number of suicidal attempts. The more violent methods of self-destruction still occur, but there has been a marked rise in the proportion of attempts involving the less painful intoxications by coal-gas and drug overdo sage. Simpson (1961) has charted the increase during the past fifty years in the use of coalgas and such therapeutic drugs as the barbiturates and aspirin, at the expense of lysol and the corrosive poisons. In, a recent review of accidental and self-inflicted poisoning, Nicholson (1963) emphasized the pre-eminence of these two groups of drugs, but also described a variety of other therapeutic agents such as liniment, "asthma cure" and insulin which had been used in suicidal bids. This swing to drugs in normal medical use can be related to the increased number and availability of such preparations, together with the retention in most households of a stock of half-filled, unlabelled containers. Where such drugs are employed in an attention-seeking or gain-motivated suicidal gesture, ignorance of the actual preparation and its action may produce unexpected and dangerous consequences. The case here described provides an example of a suicidal bid in which an unusual, potentially lethal agent, colchicine, was used in ignorance of its effects, with the development of an uncommon clinical picture and the occurrence of an almost total alopecia.
