Abstract Introduction Originally designed to evaluate the application of foundational scientific knowledge in clinical contexts, United States Medical License Exam (USMLE) Step 1 evolved into a comparative tool for assessing candidates with similar educational foundations. This transition heightened pressure on medical students excel exam. In response, collaborative efforts involving National Board Examiners prompted change from reporting scores pass/fail system.

There are limited data on dosimetric predictors of radiation-induced changes (RICs) for brainstem metastases or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) following single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). We examined a multi-institutional cohort patients with AVMs treated SRS. evaluated RICs graded per CTCAE(Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events), including D5%, D95%, D0.03 cc, and D0.5 cc (brainstem minus lesion). Univariate logistic regressions were initially performed independent...

Serious complications are rare, but esophageal pharyngeal injuries relating to operations can cause significant morbidity mortality. The authors present the case of delayed plate screw loosening eventual expectoration without anatomical defect. OBSERVATIONS A 52-year-old male presented neurosurgery...
