Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of steroid treatment on whiplash associated syndrome: a controlled randomized prospective trial.
There is significant evidence in the literature that low or relatively low cortisol concentrations near the time of an accident are associated with more severe forms of whiplash-associated disorders. We hypothesized that treating patients that were involved in a motor vehicle accident with hydrocortisone would alleviate the incidence and severity of these disabling disorders. ⋯ Steroid treatment of patients with whiplash might be harmful to those who present with low cortisol concentrations (< 9.5 μg/dL).

Randomized Controlled TrialTeam-based learning for teaching musculoskeletal ultrasound skills: a prospective randomised trial.
The aim of this prospective randomised trial was to assess the impact of the team-based learning approach on basic musculoskeletal ultrasound skills in comparison to both peer-assisted and conventional teaching and to examine the influence of gender and learning style on learning outcomes. ⋯ Team-based learning proved to be superior to peer-assisted and conventional teaching of musculoskeletal ultrasound skills.
