To characterize the prevalence, time of onset, and cause neuromuscular dysfunction in patients with severe sepsis.We conducted a prospective cohort study which participants sepsis underwent weekly neurologic examinations nerve conduction studies (NCSs) within 72 hours developing until intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Electromyography was preformed if clinical weakness developed or there significant reduction response amplitudes.Abnormal NCS were present upon enrollment 63% (31/48). The...
Background It is difficult to longitudinally characterize cognitive impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) due motor deficits, and existing instruments aren’t comparable with assessments other dementias. Methods The ALS Brief Cognitive Assessment (ALS-BCA) was validated 70 subjects (37 ALS) who also underwent detailed neuropsychological analysis. predictors for poor survival were then analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 171 patients. Results ALS-BCA highly sensitive (90%) specific...
Abstract Purpose: MPNST is the leading cause of premature death among individuals with NF1 and transcriptional aberrations that precede malignant transformation contribute to tumorigenesis remain poorly defined. Alterations involving CDKN2A components PRC2 have been implicated as early drivers PNST evolution, but these events do not occur in all MPNST. Accordingly, emerging data has begun highlight importance molecular-based stratification improve outcomes patients NF1-PNST. Experimental...
To survey adult neurology program directors (PDs) and inform the future development of training programs.All US PDs were invited to complete survey. The goals determine demographic makeup residency programs, characterize curricula, understand PD needs, compare results those a similar in 2007.The response rate was 70.6%. demographics for age, faculty track status, academic rank remain unchanged over last decade. proportion female assistant has increased significantly. mean number residents...
Many critically ill patients in intensive care units suffer from an infection-induced whole body inflammatory state known as sepsis, which causes severe weakness who survive. The mechanisms by sepsis triggers unit-acquired (ICUAW) remain unclear. Currently, research into ICUAW is focused on dysfunction of the peripheral nervous system. During electromyographic studies with ICUAW, we noticed that recruitment was limited to few motor units, fired at low rates. reduction unit rate modulation...
Medical students need to understand core neuroscience principles as a foundation for their required clinical experiences in neurology. In fact, they solid all other medical disciplines also because the nervous system plays such critical role function of every organ system. Because rapid pace discoveries, it is unrealistic expect master entire field. It unnecessary, can have ready access electronic reference sources no matter where practice. preclerkship phase school, focus should be on...
For many neurologic subspecialties, the fellowship application process begins early in first half of second year neurology-specific training (PGY3 for adult neurology residents and PGY4 child residents). In 2019, American Academy Neurology (AAN) published a position statement recommending communication between candidates programs begin no sooner than March 1 penultimate that offer positions August final training. A few pilot subspecialties adopted this timeline 2021 recruitment beginning...
We sought to better understand the potential impact of burgeoning neurohospitalist model inpatient care on education neurology residents and define possible roles for "neurohospitalists" in residency education.We designed a brief qualitative open-ended survey directed toward academic leaders distributed it by e-mail every department United States Canada.Of 83 respondents, 36 (43%) had an active program only 10% felt certain they would not have 1 within next 5 years. All respondents expected...
Using computer-based simulation to assess clinical skill-a key competence for medical trainees-enables standardization and exposure a broad sample of physical findings. The purpose this study is provide evidence construct validity outcome measure neurology skills.A total 128 students residents at four institutions volunteered take 34-question test designed skills. Subjects were classified into three groups based on level training: novice, intermediate, experienced.Overall performance...
International medical graduates (IMGs), individuals who graduated from school outside of the United States or Canada, constitute 31.3% active neurologists and one-third current neurology trainees. Although three-fourths IMG trainees are not US citizens, they an integral part our trainee practice workforce. IMGs play a vital role in providing greater access to health care for millions patients, particularly traditionally underserved regions face global crisis. With this article, we outline...

Data transcribed, and frequencies drawn SPSS version 20, after three themes generatedusing standard procedure namely; Pre- campaign issues, Issues campaigning Post- issues.Result:...
OBJECTIVE: We feel that students receiving lectures utilize an active learning process would report better understanding of lecture material and have performance on final assessments than taught in a traditionally passive environment. utilized audience response system as tool. Students anonymously respond, through laptops or smart phones, to questions posed during lectures.
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) program visits 1 participating site per sponsoring institution. While valuable, feedback on that does not necessarily generalize to all learning environments where trainees and faculty provide clinical care, institutions may be missing significant insight other sites.We explored how the Emory Evaluation process-modeled after CLER-could used improve at 5 major training sites.Participants were...
