Integration of point of care ultrasound into undergraduate medical education at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center school of medicine: a 6 year review.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education has become an essential component of medical school curricula. Ultrasound represents a highly effective teaching modality to reinforce anatomical knowledge gained during cadaveric dissections. At Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center-School of Medicine (TTUHSC-SOM), POCUS was incorporated into the pre-clerkship curriculum especially during the first year of medical school anatomy course.

Correction to: Research Progress of Photodynamic Therapy in Wound Healing: A Literature Review.

Introduction: Burn injuries pose a significant healthcare burden, with a substantial number of patients requiring hospital or emergency room treatment each year. Janzekovic generated renewed interest in early excision in 1970 when she reintroduced the concept of tangential excision of the necrotic tissue and immediate resurfacing with split-thickness skin grafts. Timely excision and grafting are now the standard surgical management of deep burns.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Endurance Exercise Training Protocols for Mice.

Inbred and genetically modified mice are frequently used to investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the beneficial adaptations to exercise training. However, published paradigms for exercise training in mice are variable, making comparisons across studies for training efficacy difficult. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to characterize the diversity across published treadmill-based endurance exercise training protocols for mice and to identify training protocol parameters that moderate the adaptations to endurance exercise training in mice.
