Exactly 2 months until I will be delivering this in person teaching event on sinister pathology in London 🚩 This course will include, ✅ F2F learning with practical exam tips ✅ Real life case studies ✅ ⬆️ confidence w decision-making ✅ Knowledge r.e. Investigations & pathways ✅ Sounder understanding of differential diagnoses Why this course⁉️ Well, now more than ever we are seeing a greater number of serious conditions cropping up in MSK clinics. This is likely to be because of, ◾️Poorer access to GP appointments ◾️Increased age & comorbidities of patients ◾️Greater number of self-referrals ◾️Increase in first contact roles in primary care It is therefore imperative we as clinicians have awareness towards these conditions and greater confidence with handling scenarios if they do arise. The course is designed for anyone, but specifically, ▪️Students & new graduates ▪️Aspiring or recent FCP’s ▪️Chiropractors / osteopaths / rehab clinicians For further info check out the link below 👇 https://lnkd.in/e9XQv-hd

Why I do what I do Research reshapes the future of families! As research administrators, we are responsible for providing comprehensive compliance and financial oversight to support investigators engaged in medical research. It’s a very busy, hectic job that can often be overwhelming and stressful. But stories like this are a beautiful and powerful reminder that we support miracles. I love my job and hope that in some small way the work we do helps more medical breakthroughs go from concept to lab to patient. So if you are an RA, I hope you read this article and feel the inspiration and reminder that our work has deep meaning and impact. #researchadministration #grants

The issue of getting great image quality from obese patients lies with the technologist doing the scan, and thier knowledge of the system they are using. To many technologists don’t fully understand the concept of dose in CT and just how to optimize for large as well as smaller, or more accurately, more dense and less dense patients. In CT imaging the maximum MAS is determined by the system MA limitations and the gantry rotation time. So for larger, ie, more dense patients, to maintain the same level of image quality the technologist must slow down the gantry rotation speed to obtain more MAS. With thinner patients where dose modulation is at the lowest level of exposure control, they must consider that 120 KVp is to much penetration and lower the Kv to 100. They will see an increase in effective MAS and a decrease in CTDI. Since MAS is equivalent to photons hitting the detector, and more is more for reconstruction, the image quality will be better.

Are There Physician Compensation Gaps Between Academic and Community Physicians In Surgical Specialties? Simply, yes, and faculty will likely become increasingly aware of this. How can leadership prepare for this?

In this informative read, PGY-1 Whitney Stuard Sambhariya MD PhD shares insights on her ophthalmology-focused medical student research experience.

Within my first few weeks at Baylor College of Medicine, I have already had the opportunity to collaborate on the bioethics essay "Say Their Names: Unclaimed Bodies and Untrustworthiness in Medical Science." This essay expands on issues of consent, accountability, and transparency among medical institutions. Specifically, the truly horrific practice of using the deceased for their own medical research and education. It is the responsibility of bioethicists to have the moral courage to confront and dismantle the inhumane and unjust policies and practices within our own institutions. A special thanks to Faith E. Fletcher, PhD, MA, Sophie Schott, Virginia A. Brown, MA, PhD, and The Hastings Center for the opportunity to help write and publish this essay. Please visit the link below to learn more about how unclaimed bodies were donated without consent and used for medical research and education. #SayTheirNames

"In Texas, a $4500 online course spanning 6 to 12 months promised four abstracts and four full-length papers" "Ads for specific projects posted to WhatsApp groups or on LinkedIn typically mention the type of study, its title, how many “seats” or “positions” are available, and the price to participate. " If you have also fallen prey to such ads (yes, they are not "Research Opportunities" ), I hate it to break it to you that publishing through such channels can do more harm than good. Associating with organizations that demand payment is like buying counterfeit designer goods. Just as fake designer items are frowned upon by those in the know, publications from pay-to-publish schemes are viewed negatively by the academic community, and undermine your career prospects. Stay informed and stay away! Read the full article on how IMGs are being exploited in the name of publications. The sad part is that students are unaware of the research quality coming out of such organisations. 👇 #research #quality #papermills #ethics #img

Based on medical studies and data, the case you described is a profound anomaly that challenges our understanding of human biology and medical science. An individual suffered a severe asthma attack that escalated into cardiac arrest, resulting in clinical death for over five minutes. This led to an anoxic brain injury due to a significant lack of oxygen, typically causing irreversible brain damage. Following this, the individual was in a prolonged coma, faced complications such as pneumonia and a blood clot, and was initially diagnosed as brain dead—indicating an extremely grim prognosis. Despite these dire circumstances and the exceedingly low chances of revival—especially considering the use of a defibrillator after cardiac arrest from an asthma-induced lack of oxygen is near futile—the individual's recovery is nothing short of miraculous. They not only regained partial vision and the ability to walk and talk but also remarkably preserved most of their memory. This level of recovery, including regaining significant cognitive and physical functions after being declared clinically dead, is considered nearly impossible according to current medical research. This case is a shocking outlier that stands as perhaps the number one medical mystery and miracle, defying well-established medical expectations where severe anoxia usually results in irreversible damage and very poor outcomes. The extraordinary nature of this recovery highlights a significant gap in our understanding of brain resilience and challenges the very limits of medical science.
