Immediate resuscitation is crucial for the survival of a patient with cardiac arrest. Research has suggested that self-led bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is significantly associated with favourable neurological outcomes for patients. Furthermore, medical students play an important role in providing public CPR training to the community. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a CPR training programmes and a public training event on the knowledge, attitudes, and perceived competency towards CPR among medical students. The quasi-experimental study was conducted among the medical students in clinical years studying at a private medical institution in Malaysia. The intervention group received CPR training for two sessions and participated as trainers in a community-training event; the control group was excluded from these activities. A total of 106 students (intervention group, n = 51; control group, n = 55) participated in this study. The total knowledge score (5.24 ± 1.67 vs 3.75 ± 1.22, P < 0.001), attitude score (22.38 ± 3.67 vs 20.82 ± 2.33, P = 0.011), and perceived competencies to perform CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) (7.22 ± 2.33 vs 4.93 ± 2.40, P < 0.001) were significantly higher among the participants in the intervention group compared to those in the control group after the intervention. Meanwhile, concerns regarding initiating CPR was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (12.44 ± 5.15 vs 9.55 ± 3.96, P = 0.002). The results suggested that CPR training is beneficial for students and should be organised regularly. In addition to providing physical skills training, such sessions should explain legal implications of initiating CPR and should encourage and assure students to do so in case of an emergency.

Introduction: Müllerian adenosarcoma is a rare tumor of the cervix. typical adenosarcoma presents as a large polypoid mass occupying the endometrial cavity. It occurs mainly in postmenopausal women. It is a very rare occurrence in adolescent girls and young adults. to date, this neoplasm has been reported in only 10 young adult and adolescent girls. the tumor tends to recur locally rather than to disseminate to distant areas. case report: A 23-year-old female, single, sexually not active and nulliparous presented to a private hospital for complaints of prolonged menstruation of six months duration. speculum examination revealed cauliflower like growth arising from the cervix. Polypectomy and hysteroscopic diagnostic dilatation and curettage was done. Histopathology of the specimens showed cervical polyp with features of welldifferentiated Müllerian adenosarcoma of low grade with endometrium in secretory phase. A total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy, omentectomy, pelvic and
