<b><i>Background:</i></b> Infants born prematurely are at risk for neurodevelopmental complications. Early growth is associated with improved later cognition. The relationship of early proportionality and body composition cognition not well established. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To assess differences in fat-free mass adiposity (fat mass, percent fat) changes preterm full-term infants through preschool age examine associations childhood...
The aim of the study was to longitudinally characterize infancy preschool body composition trajectories and association early fat fat-free mass gains with age in children born premature versus full-term.A cohort appropriate-for-gestational preterm (n = 20) term 51) infants were followed at 3 visits: "neonatal" visit 1 2 weeks for near corrected preterm; "infancy" 4 months (preterm age); "preschool" years. Body via air displacement plethysmography anthropometrics measured all visits. Tracking...
OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine whether graduating residents were deemed ready for unsupervised practice each of the 17 general pediatrics entrustable professional activities (EPAs). METHODS At end 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023–24 academic years, authors collected entrustment-supervision levels assigned by clinical competency committees from pediatric medicine/pediatrics residency training programs readiness at time graduation. They did this EPAs examined reported proportion on EPA all...
Physical activity (PA) during pregnancy is associated with lower neonatal fat mass, but associations child body composition are mixed. The purpose of this study was to examine between trimester-specific PA and at 4 years.Participants the Minnesota Infant Nutrition, Neurodevelopment, Obesity Study were asked recall participation in any moderate or vigorous first (T1), second (T2) third (T3) trimesters about 5 years postpartum. Child mass fat-free measured via air displacement plethysmography...
Many physicians care for patients whose primary spoken language is not English, and these interactions present challenges in physician-patient communication. These contribute to the significant health disparities experienced by populations with limited English proficiency (LEP). Using trained medical interpreters an important step addressing this problem, as it improves communication outcomes. Despite this, many education programs have little formal instruction on how work effectively...
Simulations are an important modality for practicing high-acuity, low-frequency events. We implemented a deliberate practice simulation-based workshop to improve pediatric end-of-life care skills (PECS) competence.
Marginalized individuals in medicine face many structural inequities which can have enduring consequences on their progress. Therefore, inequity must be addressed by dismantling underlying unjust policies, environments, and curricula. However, once these injustices been taken apart, how do we build more just systems from the rubble? Many current strategies to address this question foundational values of urgency, solutionism, top-down leadership.
The World Health Organization calls on all with quality medical information to share it the public and combat health misinformation; however, U.S. schools do not currently teach students effective communication lay audiences about health. Most physicians have inadequate training in mass strategies.In August 2018, a novel 90-minute class at University of Minnesota Medical School introduced fourth-year basic skills for communicating through media. Instructors were experience interacting...
INTRODUCTION Toward a vision of competency-based medical education (CBME) spanning the undergraduate to graduate (GME) continuum, University Minnesota Medical School (UMMS) developed Subinternship in Critical Care (SICC) offered across specialties and sites. Explicit course objectives assessments focus on internship preparedness, emphasizing direct observation handovers (Core Entrustable Professional Activity, “EPA,” 8) cross-cover duties (EPA 10). METHODS To evaluate students’ perceptions...
Abstract Early-onset neonatal sepsis contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality. Presenting signs symptoms vary, most causes are due a limited number of common microbes. However, providers must be cognizant unusual pathogens when treating early-onset (EOS). We report case term neonate who presented with respiratory distress, lethargy, hypoglycemia 5 hours after birth. He was treated for presumed EOS blood culture, revealing an pathogen, Pasteurella multocida. Sepsis from this...
: Misleading health information is detrimental to public health. Even physicians can be misled by biased information; however, medical students and are not taught some of the most effective techniques for identifying bias misinformation online.
Background: Many physicians and medical students overlook their patients’ oral health. Physicians may fail to examine treat health because they believe it is the dentist’s realm, do not think relevant overall health, or lack adequate knowledge training. Despite its importance, there are limited opportunities in school curricula learn about To help fill this educational gap, we developed evaluated a session dedicated for University of Minnesota Medical School students. During workshop,...
