BACKGROUND: Portfolios are increasingly commonplace in postgraduate medical education. However, poor understanding of and variations in their content, quality, and structure have hindered their use across different settings, thus dampening their efficacy. METHODS: This systematic scoping review on portfolios in postgraduate medical education utilized Krishna's Systematic Evidence Based Approach (SEBA). Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis and Hsieh and Shannon's directed content analysis were independently used to evaluate the data...

PURPOSE: Previous studies evaluating the impact of antibiotic timing on mortality in sepsis have shown conflicting results. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between door-to-antibiotic time (each hour of delay) and mortality in sepsis. METHODS: We searched PubMed and Embase through 10 November 2022 to identity cohort studies that evaluated the adjusted association between door-to-antibiotic time (each hour of delay) and mortality in adult patients with sepsis...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) decisions were made differently. This included more prominent roles for specialties such as psychiatry and doctors in training. Concerns about inappropriate DNAR decisions led to anxiety for doctors, patients and the public. Positive outcomes may have included earlier and better-quality end-of life-discussions. However, COVID-19 exposed the need for support, training and guidance in this area for all doctors. It also highlighted the importance of effective public education about advanced care planning...

Successful black or nonwhite healthcare scholars represent ideal role models for young, aspiring, and underrepresented healthcare professionals. Unfortunately, their successes are often celebrated by many who do not have a proper understanding of the rough journey they went through, to get to the positions they attained. Most black healthcare professionals, if asked, would share that the secret behind their success is working twice as hard as their white peers. Based on the author's lived experience, a recent academic promotion triggered some personal reflections that resulted in a teachable case story presented in this article...

The tremendous evolution in modern technology has led to a paradigm shift in neurosurgery. The latest advancements such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and mobile applications have been incorporated into neurosurgical practice. NeuroVerse, representing the application of the metaverse in neurosurgery, brings enormous potential to neurology and neurosurgery. Implementation of NeuroVerse could potentially elevate neurosurgical and interventional procedures, enhance medical visits and patient care, and reshape neurosurgical training...

In November 2022, the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension in China were updated; the definition of hypertension and the target of treatment was changed from 140/90 mm Hg to 130/80 mm Hg. This was prompted by the results of the Strategy of Blood Pressure Intervention in the Elderly Hypertensive Patients (STEP) study, a large multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted in China. STEP echoed the results of the American Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), and confirmed that intense lowering of blood pressure is on the whole beneficial...

BACKGROUND: The associations between female infertility and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) or endometrial cancer (EC) have been reported in observational studies, but its causal relationship remains unknown. We intended to assess the causal effect of female infertility on EOCs and ECs using a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) approach. METHODS: Large pooled genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets for female infertility (6481 cases and 68 969 controls), EOC (25 509 cases and 40 941 controls), and EC (12 906 cases and 108 979 controls) were derived from public GWAS databases and published studies...

In March 2020, WHO declared SARS-CoV-2 a global pandemic and lockdowns were enforced in most of the United States. Self-protective measures and travel restrictions were implemented, and schools/universities initiated online learning. Consequently, the global incidence and hospitalization rates of seasonal respiratory infections decreased significantly up to early 2021. Despite the decrease in hospitalization rates due to respiratory illnesses other than Covid-19, hospitals and healthcare providers faced huge stressors regarding workload dueto the pandemic...

Women physicians are promoted less often, more likely to experience harassment and bias, and paid less than their male peers. Although many institutions have developed initiatives to help women physicians overcome these professional hurdles, few are specifically geared toward physicians-in-training. The Women in Medicine Trainees' Council (WIMTC) was created in 2015 to support the professional advancement of women physicians-in-training in the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Medicine (MGH-DOM)...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation and synovitis which evolve into joint destruction and deformity. Bone abnormalities are represented by marginal bone erosions and iuxta-articular and generalized osteoporosis. Overactivation of osteoclasts along with dysregulation of osteoblasts are the key events. Bone resorption is mediated by the receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB (RANK) ligand (RANK-L), responsible for the differentiation, proliferation, and activation of osteoclasts...

PURPOSE: There has been a decline in the number of academic clinicians in the UK, and there are ethnic/gender disparities in the academic workforce. Higher research self-efficacy (RSE) and a positive perception of research (PoR) amongst students are associated with a higher motivation to engage in academic medicine. Hence, this study aimed to determine the factors that influence RSE and PoR amongst UK medical students. METHODS: This is a multicentre cross-sectional survey of medical students in 36 UK medical schools in the 2020/21 academic year...

BACKGROUND: Dengue fever is the second most common mosquito-borne disease affecting human beings and neurological manifestations (NMs) of this arboviral infection are increasingly being reported. METHODS: In this retrospective study, conducted in a tertiary care centre in south India, we sought to describe the spectrum of NMs of dengue fever. The records of all patients admitted in the Department of Internal Medicine over 8 years, with a diagnosis of dengue-based on clinical symptoms and the detection of dengue IgM antibodies or detection of NS1 antigen or nucleic acid by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); with Glasgow coma score (GCS) ≤14, neck stiffness, focal neurological signs, seizures, or visual disturbances-were explored...

Postgraduate medical students are the mainstay of future medical research, and clinical research is one of the most important components of medical research. In recent years, the Chinese government has increased the number of postgraduate students in China. Therefore, the quality of postgraduate training has received widespread attention. This article discusses the advantages and challenges faced by Chinese graduate students when they conduct their clinical research. To address the current misconception that Chinese graduate students only focus on developing their competence in basic biomedical research, the authors call for increased support for clinical research from the Chinese government as well as from schools and teaching hospitals...
