Cardiac anatomy can be challenging to grasp because of its complex three-dimensional nature and remains one the most topics teach. In light some exciting technological advances in field virtual reality (VR), we sought test viability assess efficacy this computer-generated model for purposes teaching cardiac anatomy. Before learning anatomy, first-year undergraduate medical students participated an anatomically correct VR simulation heart. Students were randomly distributed into control...
Advancing medical technology revolutionizes our ability to diagnose various disease processes. Conventional Single-Energy Computed Tomography (SECT) has multiple inherent limitations for providing definite diagnoses in certain clinical contexts. Dual-Energy (DECT) been use since 2006 and constantly evolved applications assist radiologists reaching SECT is rather unable identify. DECT may also complement the role of by supporting confidently make clinically challenging scenarios. In this...
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...
The purpose of this study is to determine the utility dual-energy CT (DECT) for assessing carpal fractures and obtain an attenuation value cutoff (in Hounsfield units) identify bone marrow edema due acute fracture.In retrospective study, 24 patients who presented with wrist from September 3, 2014, through March 9, 2015, underwent imaging DECT (80 140 kVp). Using three-material decomposition algorithm specific virtual noncalcium construct images, two radiologists identified associated edema....
ABSTRACT Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have proven to be a highly effective cell therapy for critical‐sized bone defects. Cryopreservation can enable long‐term storage of EPCs, allowing their immediate availability on demand. This study compares the therapeutic potential EPCs before and after cryopreservation in small animal defect model. Five‐millimeter segmental defects were created right femora Fischer 344 rats, followed by stabilization with miniplate screws. The animals received 2...

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...
Background: Surgeons performing the induced membrane technique (IMT) often incorporate antibiotics into spacer at first stage of surgical procedure to prevent or treat infection. However, effect antibiotic use on subsequent bone healing is not clear. This study aimed investigate if antibiotic-impregnated spacers impact in a rat model IMT. Methods: Inbred male rats (Fischer 344) were randomly divided 3 groups according dose spacer: (1) control (no antibiotics), (2) low-dose (1.2 g tobramycin...
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...
Purpose Emergency Departments (ED) are becoming busier, with a resultant increase in the number of imaging referrals. The purpose this study was to assess diagnostic accuracy an abbreviated two sequence magnetic resonance (MR) protocol for evaluating ED patients right lower quadrant pain and suspected acute appendicitis, view expediting patient turnaround times costs. Material methods Fifty (49 females, one male; mean age 25.4 ± 5.2 years) who underwent MR from July 2014 March 2015 were...
Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is a rare but potentially devastating diagnosis. Our study establishes the temporal changes and findings on follow-up imaging.For this retrospective, institutional review board-approved study, hospital trauma registry was queried for all severely injured polytrauma patients who underwent computed tomography angiogram (CTA) scans in emergency department between January 1, 2010, December 31, 2016, with severity score ≥16, yielding 3747 patients. A total of...
The objective of this study was to determine whether body fat percentage, measured using a portable handheld bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) device, and mass index (BMI, weight in kilograms divided by the square height meters) can estimate amount intraabdominal intrapelvic thereby predict need for oral contrast material before abdominopelvic CT.A prospective, institutional review board-approved consisting 101 patients who presented emergency department level I trauma center conducted...
