D-dimer has been reported to be elevated in acute aortic dissection. Potential use as a "rule-out" marker suggested, but concerns remain given that it is other chest diseases, including pulmonary embolism and ischemic heart disease. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of testing study population patients with suspected dissection.In this prospective multicenter study, 220 initial suspicion having dissection were enrolled, whom 87 diagnosed 133 final diagnoses, myocardial infarction,...
Emergency medicine (EM) has a scientifically derived and commonly accepted description of the domain its clinical practice. That document, "The Model Clinical Practice Medicine" (EM Model), was developed through collaboration six organizations: American Board Medicine (ABEM), administrative organization for project, College Physicians (ACEP), Council Residency Directors (CORD), Residents' Association (EMRA), Review Committee (RRC-EM), Society Academic (SAEM). Development EM based on an...
AimsThe early diagnosis of acute aortic dissection (AD) remains challenging. We sought to determine the utility troponin-like protein smooth muscle, calponin, as a diagnostic biomarker AD.
Few studies have measured the burden of adult pneumococcal disease after introduction 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) into US infant vaccination schedule. Further, most data regarding serotypes are derived from invasive (IPD), which represents only a fraction all burden. Understanding cause pneumonia in adults is critical for informing current immunization policy. The objective this study was to measure proportion radiographically-confirmed (CXR+) community-acquired (CAP) caused by PCV13...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) has significantly decreased the burden PCV13-serotype disease; however, disease from nonvaccine serotypes remains substantial. A recent study documented persistence PCV13 among US adults hospitalized with radiographically confirmed CAP. current analysis used recently developed urinary antigen detection (UAD) assay (UAD2) to extend these results additional...
Bedside ultrasonography (BU) is rapidly being incorporated into emergency medicine (EM) training programs and clinical practice. In the past decade, several organizations in EM have issued position statements on use of this technology. Program content currently driven by recently published "Model Clinical Practice Emergency Medicine," which includes BU as a necessary skill.The authors sought to determine current status residency programs.A survey was mailed early 2001 all 122 Accreditation...

Early detection of large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke optimizes endovascular therapy and improves outcomes. Clinical severity scales used for LVO identification have variable accuracy. We investigated a portable LVO-detection device (PLD), using electroencephalography somatosensory-evoked potentials, to identify stroke.We obtained PLD data in suspected patients with enrolled prospectively via convenience sample 8 emergency departments within 24 hours symptom onset. discriminative signals...

In 2013, milestone ratings became a reporting requirement for emergency medicine (EM) residency programs. Programs rate each resident in the fall and spring on 23 subcompetencies.This study examined incidence of straight line scoring (SLS) EM Milestone ratings, defined as being assessed same score across descriptive analysis measured frequencies SLS all Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited programs during 2015-2016 academic year. Outcomes were frequency...
“Patient Care” is the first listed core competency of six new competencies recently formulated by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and, arguably, most important. To assist emergency medicine (EM) program directors in incorporating and assessing this competency, Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD‐EM) held a consensus conference March 2002. Definitions were generated that are specific training practitioners EM. These built upon ACGME base definition, but...
