ABSTRACT Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition, particularly among US Veterans. PTSD‐diagnosed patients are more likely to experience suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and death by when compared non‐PTSD‐diagnosed patients. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) emphasizes evidence‐based psychotherapy (EBP) for PTSD, including prolonged exposure cognitive processing therapy. This study focuses on how risk impacts PTSD evaluating utilization...
Abstract Background Although the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has made important suicide prevention advances, efforts primarily target high-risk patients with documented risk, such as suicidal ideation, prior attempts, and recent psychiatric hospitalization. Approximately 90% VA that go on to die by do not meet these criteria therefore receive targeted services. In this study, we used national data focus were classified high-risk, but died suicide. Methods Our sample included all who...
Abstract Amphibian biodiversity is experiencing ongoing declines due in part to the infectious disease, chytridiomycosis. Efforts mitigate effects of causal agent chytridiomycosis, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ), wild have not been wholly effective. Translocations are an important management tool for amphibians, and immunizations represent a possible strategy preparing amphibians release across landscape where exists. We evaluated utility using isolate that was shown be hypovirulent...
We developed a protocol for isolating the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) from anurans. sampled skin tissues 2 common treefrogs, Pseudacris regilla and P. triseriata, collected populations with high infection prevalence. 3 anatomical ventral regions (thigh, abdomen, foot) where pathogen is thought to concentrate. To mitigate potential bacterial contamination, we used unique combination of 4 antibiotics. quantified infections on frogs as zoospore equivalents (ZE)...
As medical schools worldwide condense the preclinical phase of education, it is increasingly important to identify resources that help students retain and employ information. One popular tool among an application called Anki, a free open-source flashcard program utilizing spaced repetition for quick durable memorization. The purpose this study determine how variable Anki usage first-year throughout standardized anatomy physiology course correlates with performance.We designed novel add-on...
The COVID-19 pandemic caused medical schools to convert an online format, necessitating a swift change in education delivery. New teaching methods were adapted, with some having greater success than others. Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine (KSOM) employed small-group interactive learning style that consists eight or fewer students and one faculty mentor engaging group problem-based (PBL) twice weekly. This had clear signs struggle significant decrease exam performance. Rocky Vista...
In medical school, students are tested through periodic USMLE Step 1 and 2 examinations before obtaining a license. Traditional predictors of school performance include MCAT scores, undergraduate grades, institutional selectivity. Prior studies indicate that admissions committees might unfairly discriminate against applicants who graduated from less competitive universities. However, there is limited literature to determine whether those attended colleges perform better on examinations.The...
