The underrepresentation of women in senior leadership positions academic medicine continues to prevail despite the ongoing efforts advance gender parity. Our aim was compare extent imbalance top 100 medical schools and critically analyze contributing factors through a comprehensive theoretical framework.We adopted framework Systems Career Influences Model. classified into four tiers hierarchy. Variables interest included gender, h-index, number documents published, total citations, years...

Despite changes in the discourse around gender distributions within academic leadership, women continue to be under-represented academia. Our study aims identify extent of disparity leadership top 50 North American universities and critically analyse contributing factors through a comprehensive theoretical framework.We adopted framework continuum model. A retrospective analysis ranks was conducted between December 2018 March 2019 for America (2019 Quacquarelli Symonds World University...
Background: Gender distribution within the managing bodies of Canadian health authorities has not been studied despite their integral role in care system. The purpose this study is to quantify gender differences and craft a geographic analysis such distribution. Methods: Retrospective data collection all at provincial, territorial, regional, first nations levels was conducted. dependent variable gender, other covariates, where applicable, included province/territory, region, leadership...
This study is an evaluation of the emergency department (ED) satisfaction with current radiologic reporting system used at a major Northeastern academic medical center. The radiology reports are main form communication and usually final product any radiological investigation delivered to clinicians. aim this was improve practices better tailor match needs expectations ED clinicians.A 9-question online survey sent residents, fellows, faculty, nurse practitioners/advanced practice providers...
Purpose: To assess value of dual energy computed tomography (DECT) collagen material decomposition algorithm when combined with standard (CT) in detection lumbar disc extrusion and sequestration. Materials Methods: Retrospective analysis all patients acute low back pain who had a diagnosis spine and/or sequestration on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (reference standard), undergone non-contrast DECT the within 60 days MRI. Age sex-matched control (n = 42) were included. Patients grouped...
<h3>Background</h3> Gout is prevalent in older men and has been demonstrated as independent cardiovascular risk factor. Presence of clinical gout rather than isolated hyperuricemia related to the increased risk. Dual-Energy CT (DECT) proven be high sensitivity specificity detection monosodium urate (MSU) deposits joints soft tissues. <h3>Objectives</h3> Evaluate DECT a potential screening tool for within coronary arteries. Calculate prevalence patients with confirmed tophaceous comparison...
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is increasingly used for device surveillance after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). While CT protocols with delayed scans are useful to diagnose thrombus in the LAA, an optimal protocol post-procedural CCTA has not been established. Therefore, we assessed role of versus early surveillance.We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent LAAC at Vancouver General Hospital had follow-up CCTAs using standard (early) and scans. Scans were...
Gastropulmonary fistula represents a late complication of sleeve gastrectomy and, if untreated, has high morbidity and mortality. We present case report 29-year-old female who developed gastropulmonary 3 years after gastrectomy. Dual energy CT the chest upper abdomen demonstrated cavitary left lower lobe lesion associated with focal complex pleural effusion; iodinated oral contrast confirmed presence fistulous connection through hemidiaphragm. The patient underwent thoracotomy, lobectomy,...
<h3>Background:</h3> Gout is characterized by accumulation of monosodium urate (MSU) in joints and soft tissues. prevalence about 1-5% the western world, predominantly elderly men. Accurate diagnosis gout paramount managing disease progression guiding treatment. A meta-analysis 2018 showed that Dual-Energy CT (DECT) has high sensitivity, specificity diagnostic accuracy MSU detection. deposition outside 'classic' extremities been scarcely investigated yet may be a potential indicator tophus...
Diagnostic errors in neuroradiology are inevitable, yet potentially avoidable. Through extensive literature search, we present an up-to-date review of the psychology human decision making and how such complex process can lead to radiologic errors. Our focus is on neuroradiology, so augmented our with multiple explanatory figures show different reflect real-life clinical practice. We propose a new thematic categorization perceptual cognitive biases this article simplify message delivery...
