“…These findings suggest that simultaneously addressing both the inflammatory component of Bell's palsy with steroids and the potential viral etiology with antiviral drugs may contribute to more favorable outcomes. In contrast, other studies have reported no significant difference in recovery rates between the two treatment approaches [22,23,[38][39][40], indicating that the addition of antiviral drugs did not confer a substantial advantage over steroid monotherapy. Combined steroid and antiviral therapy, however, was found to result in higher recovery rates in a subset of patients with severe or severe to complete Bell's palsy [25,41,42], indicating that the choice of treatment approaches may be influenced by the severity of Bell's palsy, with more aggressive combination therapy warranted in patients with more severe disease.…”

Importance: The optimal treatment approach for patients with Bell’s palsy, a condition characterized by acute facial nerve palsy, remains unclear. The present study was designed to provide insights into the most effective treatment strategies, whether steroids alone or steroids plus antiviral agents, as well as the optimal timing of treatment initiation. Objective: To investigate the impact of treatment modalities and timing on the recovery rates of Bell’s palsy patients and to assess the roles of individual factors. Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective analysis included 1504 patients with Bell’s palsy who visited Kyung Hee University Hospital. Patients were divided based on the treatment modality (steroid monotherapy vs. combined steroid and antiviral therapy) and the timing of treatment initiation (≤72 vs. >72 h). Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the recovery rate, as assessed by the House–Brackmann (HB) grade. Secondary outcomes included factors such as age, electroneurography (ENoG) and electromyography (EMG) results, and comorbid conditions. Results: A combined comparison of patients treated with steroids plus antivirals and steroids alone, stratified by treatment start time, showed that recovery rates were highest in patients who received steroid monotherapy initiated within 72 h (OR 2.36; p < 0.05). Patients with severe Bell’s palsy tended to benefit more from combined therapy when treatment was initiated within 72 h. The recovery rate was higher in patients who received steroid monotherapy than combined therapy (86.32% vs. 79.25%, p < 0.05). Initiating treatment beyond 72 h was associated with a higher recovery rate than starting treatment within 72 h (85.69% vs. 76.92%, p < 0.05). An evaluation of the factors affecting recovery showed that patients aged 20 to 39 years had a higher recovery rate than other age groups (OR 1.47; p < 0.05). Fairly predictive EMG results were associated with significantly higher recovery rates (OR 3.52; p < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of individualized treatment approaches in Bell’s palsy management. Steroid monotherapy remains effective, although combined treatment may have potential advantages, especially in patients with more severe disease. The best treatment results were achieved when steroid treatment was administered within 72 h. Our results suggest that there may be more flexibility in the application of the 72 h treatment period if we consider the time of treatment initiation alone, but this should take into account patient behavior patterns and the limitations of retrospective analysis. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and refine treatment recommendations for patients with Bell’s palsy.

“…Grabbing the attention of the audience, avoiding the usual presentation "pitfalls", overcoming "stage fright" etc. and acquiring knowledge about the latest presentation software types are essential skills necessary for effective education [7][8][9]. The fourth focus area is generally better known by medical students than medical teachers.…”

Objective. KOLLAR method is a learning and teaching promoting method that frames the generally missing elements into education. The word is an acronym namely KO is for Keys of Originality, L is for Learning, L is for Lecturing, A is for Application of social media, and R is for Relaxation. The aim of the cross-sectional study was the assessment of the evaluation of the KOLLAR method among medical university students during the development and progress of the method. Methods. Participants were first and third grade medical university students of Debrecen University, (n=1893; 56% was foreign student). The evaluation of the method was rated on a six-item scale, each item scored from 0 to 6. The items were analyzed separately, and as an aggregated score. Data were collected between the years 2002-2012.Results. According to the results of analyses using the aggregated index of evaluation (principal component, R 2 =59%), the Hungarian, the first year, and the physiotherapy students evaluated the method more positively than the foreign (Z=-4.460, p<.001), the third year (Z=-3.994, p<.001), and the medical students (H (2) =10.014, p=.007). The evaluation of the courses become better during the years. Conclusions. The evaluation of the KOLLAR method was generally favorable among medical university students which demonstrated an improving trend during the years of crystallization process.
