Implicit Association Test Alone Is Not Sufficient to Increase Underrepresented Minority Representation in Physician Assistant Programs.

Purpose: Physician assistant (PA) program matriculants are consistently less diverse than the US population. This study evaluates whether administration of an Implicit Association Test (IAT) to PA program admission committees is associated with changes in the likelihood of (1) receiving an admission interview, (2) receiving an offer of admission, and (3) matriculation of individuals underrepresented in medicine (URiM).

Methods: Admission committees from 4 PA programs participated in an IAT before the 2019/2020 admissions cycle.

The relationship between coronary stenosis severity and compression type coronary artery movement in acute myocardial infarction.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction is thought to occur at sites of minor coronary stenosis. Recent data challenge this and also propose a role for coronary artery movement (CAM) in plaque instability. We examined the relationship between coronary stenosis severity, CAM pattern, and infarct-related lesions (IRLs) in acute myocardial infarction.

To what extent do children with cerebral palsy participate in everyday life situations?

The aims of the study are to describe participation of children with cerebral palsy in everyday life situations, to investigate the relationship between participation (primary outcome variable) with child and parent characteristics (independent variables) and to compare the frequency of participation (secondary outcome variable) of children with cerebral palsy with children without disabilities. A cross-sectional survey of parents of children with cerebral palsy in Northern Ireland was undertaken in families' homes using standard questionnaires. Children with cerebral palsy born between 31/8/1991 and 1/4/1997 were identified from a case register of people with the condition.

The health of children with cerebral palsy and stress in their parents.

Title: The health of children with cerebral palsy and stress in their parents.

Aim: This paper is a report of a study conducted to describe the health of children with cerebral palsy and investigate predictors of stress in their parents.

Background: Children with severe cerebral palsy tend to have poorer health than their able-bodied peers, and their parents are more likely to be stressed and have poorer health.
