Using a most significant change approach to evaluate learner-centric outcomes of clinical scholars leadership training program.

Background: Most significant change (MSC) analysis is an evaluative method used to supplement outcome and impact program evaluations. MSC stories provide mini-narratives contextualizing the effect a program had on an individual. The Clinical Scholars program evaluation team used MSC to explore learner-centric leadership outcomes of the Clinical Scholars leadership training program.

Advancing Health Equity Through Equity-Centered Leadership Development with Interprofessional Healthcare Teams.

Introduction: Events of spring 2020-the COVID19 pandemic and re-birth of a social justice movement-have thrown disparities in disease risk, morbidity, and mortality in sharp relief. In response, healthcare organizations have shifted attentions and resources towards equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) issues and initiatives like never before. Focused, proven equity-centered skill and mindset development is needed for healthcare professionals to operationalize these pledges and stated aims.

Training "Pivots" from the Pandemic: Lessons Learned Transitioning from In-Person to Virtual Synchronous Training in the Clinical Scholars Leadership Program.

Introduction: Since the inception of distance-based teaching modalities, a debate has ensued over the quality of online versus in-person instruction. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of teaching environments-including leadership development trainings for post-graduate learners-have been thrust into exploring the virtual learning environment more thoroughly. One three-year leadership development program for interdisciplinary healthcare professionals transitioned three simultaneous leadership intensives from in-person to online in the spring of 2020.

A Case of Hemorrhagic Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient with COVID-19 Infection.

• There are protean manifestations of cardiac involvement with COVID-19. • Hemorrhagic pericardial effusion may be the sole cardiac manifestation of COVID-19. • More work is required to elucidate the mechanism through which COVID-19 causes hemorrhagic pericardial effusion.

Family Planning in the Republic of Tajikistan: A narrative review from Soviet times to 2017.

Introduction: Tajikistan's dramatic shift from a high to a low fertility society has taken place over a little more than two decades. While some fertility beliefs remained the same throughout the rapid economic and political transitions of Tajikistan, other beliefs may have changed to respond to the financial realities of the newly independent and Central Asian republic, such as having fewer children. The objective of this review was to describe and analyze the state of family planning in the Republic of Tajikistan from Soviet period (1929-1991) until 2017.

Regional ventilation changes in severe asthma after bronchial thermoplasty with (3)He MR imaging and CT.

Purpose: To quantify regional lung ventilation in healthy volunteers and patients with severe asthma (both before and after thermoplasty) by using a combination of helium 3 ((3)He) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT), with the intention of developing more effective image-guided treatments for obstructive lung diseases.

Materials And Methods: With approval of the local institutional review board, informed consent, and an Investigational New Drug Exemption, six healthy volunteers and 10 patients with severe asthma were imaged in compliance with HIPAA regulations by using both multidetector CT and (3)He MR imaging. Individual bronchopulmonary segments were labeled voxel by voxel from the CT images and then registered to the (3)He MR images by using custom software.

Imaging mouse lung allograft rejection with (1)H MRI.

Purpose: To demonstrate that longitudinal, noninvasive monitoring via MRI can characterize acute cellular rejection in mouse orthotopic lung allografts.

Methods: Nineteen Balb/c donor to C57BL/6 recipient orthotopic left lung transplants were performed, further divided into control-Ig versus anti-CD4/anti-CD8 treated groups. A two-dimensional multislice gradient-echo pulse sequence synchronized with ventilation was used on a small-animal MR scanner to acquire proton images of lung at postoperative days 3, 7, and 14, just before sacrifice.
