In each issue of Heart , we publish an image challenge which consists of a brief clinical vignette, an image and an accompanying multiple choice question (MCQ), followed by a short discussion. The goal of the image challenge is to make an educational point, so authors must reflect on what they wish to teach. The clarity of the educational point is often what distinguishes a strong image challenge which is accepted for publication from those that are not. Even though the importance of a clearly defined teaching and testing point is self-evident, it is natural that the the inspiration to write an image challenge occurs when an author encounters a remarkable image in clinical practice and wishes to share it. High-quality and engaging images are critical, but the best image challenge submissions are not show-and-tell, in which the image is primary and the MCQ and teaching point are perfunctory. Rather, the image should be used to augment a well-crafted MCQ. MCQs, often maligned, can be effective educational tools; they require active learning, or what cognitive psychologists call ‘retrieval practice’, in which the reader deliberately recalls information which has been previously learnt.1 Retrieval practice improves long-term retention of information and allows clinicians to later recall that information in ‘real life’ and apply that information to a variety of …

This study analyzed 22 criminal cases involving obstetricians and gynecologists to identify legal trends and propose measures to reduce the legal burden on medical professionals while maintaining stable healthcare services. The cases were retrieved from the Supreme Court of Korea Judicial Information Disclosure Portal using keywords such as “obstetrics,” “gynecology,” “expectant mother,” “fetus,” “neonate,” “delivery,” “uterus,” and “placenta.” The cases were classified into two categories: medical malpractice (16 cases, 72.7%) and abortion and bioethics (6 cases, 27.3%). Guilty verdicts were issued in 8 cases (36.4%), whereas 14 cases (63.6%) resulted in acquittal. The qualitative analysis showed that courts consistently protected physicians’ clinical discretion in unpredictable and unavoidable situations, such as amniotic fluid embolism and uterine atony, provided that standard medical protocols were followed. Procedural appropriateness, rather than the perfection of clinical outcomes, appeared to be the primary basis for judicial protection. Although the judiciary acknowledges the inherent limitations of medical practice and tends to protect physicians when established guidelines are followed, the high frequency of criminal prosecution remains a substantial burden on healthcare providers and may threaten the sustainability of obstetric care.

Since 1990s, there has been a change in focus in western language and gender scholarship from gender variations to discourses as sites of gender construction. Theoretically, this turn was inspired and supported by social constructionist and post-structuralist views on gender; methodologically, it was manifested largely by the transition from a preference for quantitative correlation analyses to that for localized qualitative analyses. Most discourse and gender studies could be seen as driven by two kinds of concerns, one on the production and circulation of gender norms, and the other on gender performance. The former is mainly taken up by critical discourse analysts, while the latter by researchers of different backgrounds, including social linguistics, CA, DP, CDA and FPDA. A comprehensive review of these studies can help scholars at home develop discourse and gender studies in Chinese contexts.
