Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the new Tono-Vera rebound tonometer (Reichert Inc, Buffalo, NY) compared to Goldmann Applanation Tonometry.

Methods: This prospective, observational, cross-sectional study was designed in accordance with ANSI Z80.10-2014 and ISO 8612-2009 guidelines for tonometer comparison.

Providing culturally responsive care in a pediatric setting: are our trainees ready?

Background: Extensive data consistently demonstrates inequities in access and delivery of healthcare for patients from historically marginalized populations, resulting in poorer health outcomes. To address this systemic oppression in healthcare, it is necessary to embed principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) at an early stage within medical education. This study aimed to assess pediatric trainees' perceived interest in EDI curricula as well as their confidence in applying this knowledge to provide culturally responsive care.

Treating ARDS-associated air embolism: a question of priorities.

Gas embolism is a potential and often life-threatening complication of central venous catheters. We report a case of air embolism after tearing of the central catheter associated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The severity of the clinical situation meant choices had to be made regarding the order of treatments.

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Large (> 5 cm) Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a well-established treatment option for early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors < 5 cm. There is limited information on tumors > 5 cm.

Patients And Methods: We performed retrospective data collection of patients enrolled onto a prospective SBRT registry study.

Evaluation of emergency medicine community educational program.

Out-of-hospital emergencies occur frequently, and laypersons are often the first to respond to these events. As an outreach to our local communities, we developed "Basic Emergency Interventions Everyone Should Know," a three-hour program addressing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator use, heart attack and stroke recognition and intervention, choking and bleeding interventions and infant and child safety. Each session lasted 45 minutes and was facilitated by volunteers from the emergency department staff.
