This study systematically examines the knowledge and practices of Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization (PIVC) among nursing professionals at the Armed Forces Hospital in King Abdulaziz Air Base (AFH-KAAB) in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The primary objective is enhancing success rates and minimising complications associated with intravenous cannulation through improved training methodologies. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research integrates qualitative insights from clinical practice and focus group discussions with quantitative data analysis. Data were collected using a self-administered survey and analysed using SPSS Version 29. The survey encompassed socio-demographic information, sources of knowledge concerning PIVC, and specific practices associated with PIVC. The findings reveal that socio-demographic factors significantly impact knowledge and practice levels, underscoring the need for tailored educational resources. The study concludes that implementing targeted interventions to enhance nurses’ knowledge and skills in PIVC can significantly improve patient safety, increase success rates, and lead to more favourable healthcare outcomes. These findings provide critical insights for developing customized training programs and educational initiatives to elevate nurses’ competency and proficiency in PIVC. Ultimately, these efforts contribute to achieving zero harm in intravenous care and optimising healthcare quality by reducing patient harm.

Technology has found its way slowly but surely into the classroom. This calls for the need to write on the title “Utilization of Digital Methods of Teaching for Interactivity and Effective Teacher Delivery at Basic Levels in Kaduna State.” Teachers are now exposed to using technological facilities in the instructional process to increase their abilities to use ICT gadgets for individualized instruction and assessment, arousing learners’ interest, retaining attention, and facilitating assimilation, understanding, recall, interaction, and collaboration. COVID-19 has opened a new normal in the classroom, where the sudden closure of schools calls for virtual or digital instruction. This technology can be applied to inject content, ideas, or encourage interactivity with or without a teacher. Trainees and teacher educators need to be exposed to these digital methods of teaching to remain updated, relevant, and technology-compliant. The paper discusses the nature and characteristics of technology-based methods, identifies six digital instructional methods for effective facilitation in the 21st century, and presents the processes, resources, problems, and recommendations for effective utilization. These elements are discussed in the paper for innovation and sustainability in Teacher Education.

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) is a joint disorder characterized by benign but locally aggressive proliferation of the synovial membrane. The localized form is rare, and its nonspecific symptoms make diagnosis challenging. We report a case of localized PVNS of the knee in a 47-year-old man. Arthroscopic resection resulted in complete recovery, with total and permanent resolution of symptoms and no recurrence.
