چکیده

Sir, the recent report on “Quality Assessment of Medical Education at Faculty of Medicine of Sarajevo University” is very interesting (1). It is interesting that the new system seems to be challenging and can result in satisfaction of the students and outcome. Indeed, the continuous assessment of the medical education and curriculum is needed. This is according to the concept of continuous quality improvement. The updating of the necessary content (knowledge) as well as new education, teaching, techniques must be the fundamental concepts. Of interest, Masic I (1) raised the importance of medical student satisfaction assessment which is usually forgotten issue. In fact, medical student can be the “client” of the Faculty and the satisfaction survey should be regularly done. However, education is not the business. Sometimes, the interpretation of satisfaction of the students has to be carefully done. Some regulations and standards must be kept. As a new medical education system, to promote the new knowledge and skill via using new tools including to the informatic technology can be helpful. The holistic approach is required.

Optimal electrocardiographic limb lead set for rapid emphysema screening

BACKGROUND Pulmonary emphysema of any etiology has been shown to be strongly and quasidiagnostically associated with a vertical frontal P wave axis. A vertical P wave axis (>60 degrees) during sinus rhythm can be easily determined by a P wave in lead III greater than the P wave in lead I (bipolar lead set) or a dominantly negative P wave in aVL (unipolar lead set). The purpose of this investiga...

Correct utilization of exercise electrocardiographic leads in differentiation of men with coronary artery disease from patients with a low likelihood of coronary artery disease using peak exercise ST-segment depression.

In this study we compared the diagnostic characteristics of the individual exercise electrocardiographic leads, 3 different lead sets comprising standard leads and the effect of the partition value in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). The diagnostic variable used was ST-segment depression at peak exercise, and the study population consisted of 101 patients with CAD and 100 patient...
