Psychological distress can have a significant impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and efforts to treat psychological distress may improve CVD risk factors. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective feasibility of implementation study to assess the utilization of short-term psychotherapy in patients engaged in a cardiovascular prevention program. Participants included patients engaged in the Women's Health or Preventive Cardiology programs from January 2019 to June 2022.

The change to pass/fail grading adds additional complexity that should be considered when deciding about exam timing. Both early and late administration may affect learning outcomes, learner behavior, student well-being, and residency match success.

More rigorous research is needed to better understand the impact of these interventions on changes in care utilization including unplanned care.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of the Enhanced Care Program (ECP), a payer-provider collaborative model, on unplanned care use and cost of care.
Article Synopsis
- Institutions often use student evaluations of teaching (SET) to assess teaching quality, but analyzing comments manually can be time-consuming.
- The study aimed to see if natural language processing (NLP) could effectively identify teaching quality concerns in SET comments from clinical rotations.
- Results showed that while NLP methods can accurately detect teaching quality issues, their precision is relatively low; an existing free NLP dictionary performed similarly to custom dictionaries made by experts.
Article Synopsis
- Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome (47,XXY), occurring in about 1 in 600 male births, while a rarer combination with some 46,XX cells also exists.
- A study analyzed the clinical records of 34 patients with this unique karyotype across 14 medical institutions, finding significant variability in symptoms and the proportion of XX cells in their samples.
- The research concluded that clinical manifestations are highly diverse, which complicates treatment, and emphasized the importance of using advanced genetic testing methods to accurately identify the condition due to potential mosaicism.
