Effect of Story-Based Audiovisual Mnemonics in Comparison with Text-Reading Method on Memory Consolidation among Medical Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Traditional teaching methods via faculty lectures and text-based materials lack interactivity. Hence, this research aimed to compare the effectiveness of story-based audiovisual mnemonics and the conventional text-reading method on medical students' memory consolidation. ⋯ The story-based audiovisual mnemonics method is more effective than the conventional text-reading method in promoting memory retention among medical students.

Little is known about the causality and pathological mechanism underlying the association between old age and myocardial injury in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We evaluated the association between old age and myocardial injury in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). ⋯ Despite appropriate coronary revascularization, old age was associated with greater extent of myocardial injury in STEMI patients.
