Low-intensity transcranial ultrasound (TUS) can non-invasively modulate human neural activity. We investigated how different fundamental sonication parameters influence the effects of TUS on motor cortex (M1) 16 healthy subjects by probing cortico-cortical excitability and behavior. A low-intensity 500 kHz transducer was coupled to a magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil. TMS delivered 10 ms before end left M1 hotspot first dorsal interosseous muscle. Varying acoustic (pulse repetition frequency,...
ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) guidelines encourage monitoring of false positives (Code STEMI without culprit) but ignore negatives (non-STEMI with occlusion myocardial infarction [OMI]). We evaluated the hospital course emergency department (ED) patients acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using vs OMI paradigms.This retrospective chart review examined all ACS admitted through two academic EDs, from June 2021 to May 2022, categorized as 1) (acute culprit lesion TIMI 0-2 flow, or 3...
The transition from wakefulness to sleep is accompanied by widespread changes in brain functioning. Here we investigate the implications of this for interregional functional connectivity and their dynamic over time. Simultaneous EEG-fMRI was used measure activity 21 healthy participants as they transitioned into sleep. fMRI volumes were independent component analysis (ICA)-decomposed, yielding 42 neurophysiological sources. Static (FC) estimated time courses. A sliding window method k-means...
According to recent accounts, bilingualism in childhood confers an advantage a specific domain of executive functioning termed attentional disengagement. The current study tested this hypothesis 492 children (245 boys; Mage = 10.98 years) from Canada, China, and Lebanon by testing for association between language status measures Across the entire sample, monolinguals responded more quickly accurately than bilinguals on measure disengagement but differed age, socioeconomic status, general...
Abstract Objectives ECG interpretation is a life-saving skill in emergency medicine (EM), and core competency undergraduate medical curricula; however, confidence for residents/students low. We developed novel educational intervention—the HEARTS workshop—that provides systematic approach to interpretation, teaches EM residents through the process of teaching students highlights management. Methods used Kern Approach Curriculum Development. A review education literature targeted needs...
Introduction: Disaster management and emergency preparedness relies on the collaboration, communication, expertise of a multidisciplinary team. Skills in preparation, disasters are core competencies an physician. To learn principles disaster management, simulations critical as mass casualty/rapid surge events seldom occur. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted cancellation in-person events. In response to these restrictions, University Toronto, EM Program developed successful virtual...
Ultrasound machines use sound waves to take a look inside your body. These are very high pitched and cannot be heard or felt. They generated by an ultrasound machine that uses crystals at the end of probe. pass through skin as they reflect back from tissues in body, turns them into image. In this article, you will learn about different ultrasound, like seeing babies uterus examining important body organs patients who feeling sick. You also safety case ever need get one. Last, we explore...
Background: Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is changing the face clinical practice and medical education. Worldwide consensus based on expert opinion has advocated for POCUS teaching in undergraduate school curricula. Significant barriers, including lack available instructors limited resources, prevents learners from acquiring core competencies at most institutions. Here, we describe a peer-to-peer learning workshop advocate use this type training to meet demands learning.
 Methods: A...
The Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale prioritizes patient care in the emergency department (ED) by setting recommendations for physician initial assessment (PIA) times. authors looked at a sample cohort of over 500,000 ED visits found that overall compliance with recommended PIA times was low. paper highlights need changes downstream to enable quicker assessments.
