Empowering Third-Year Medical Students to Detect Bias and Medical Misinformation Online via Experiential Learning of "Lateral Reading," A Fact-Checker's Technique.

: Misleading health information is detrimental to public health. Even physicians can be misled by biased health information; however, medical students and physicians are not taught some of the most effective techniques for identifying bias and misinformation online. : Using the stages of Kolb's experiential learning cycle as a framework, we aimed to teach 117 third-year students at a United States medical school to apply a fact-checking technique for identifying bias and misinformation called "lateral reading" through a 50-minute learning cycle in a 90-minute class.

Performance of Fracture Risk Assessment Tools by Race and Ethnicity: A Systematic Review for the ASBMR Task Force on Clinical Algorithms for Fracture Risk.

The American Society of Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Professional Practice Committee charged an ASBMR Task Force on Clinical Algorithms for Fracture Risk to review the evidence on whether current approaches for differentiating fracture risk based on race and ethnicity are necessary and valid. To help address these charges, we performed a systematic literature review investigating performance of calculators for predicting incident fractures within and across race and ethnicity groups in middle-aged and older US adults. We included English-language, controlled or prospective cohort studies that enrolled US adults aged >40 years and reported tool performance predicting incident fractures within individual race and ethnicity groups for up to 10 years.

Case report: Managing multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in Lao People's Democratic Republic, a success story.

Introduction: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is believed to be one of the most important life-threatening complications of COVID-19 infection among children. In any setting, early recognition, investigations, and management of MIS-C is crucial, but it is particularly difficult in resource-limited settings (RLS). This is the first case report of MIS-C in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) that was promptly recognized, treated, and resulted in full recovery with no known complications despite the resource limitations.

Gender Distribution of Authors of Evaluation Letters for Promotion at One Medical School.

Purpose: Women remain underrepresented in key leadership positions and advanced ranks in academic medicine. This study examines the numbers of men and women letter writers for promotion candidates during a 5-year period across departments, tracks, ranks, and candidate gender.

Method: A descriptive study characterized the gender of evaluation letter writers for candidates for promotion to associate or full professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School between 2015 and 2020.

The Stanford Global Health Media Fellowship: Training the Next Generation of Physician Communicators to Fight Health Misinformation.

Problem: The COVID-19 pandemic and the spread of related health misinformation, especially on social media, have highlighted the need for more health care professionals to produce and share accurate health information to improve health and health literacy. Yet, few programs address this problem by training health care professionals in the art of science writing and medical journalism.

Approach: Created in 2011, the Stanford Global Health Media Fellowship aims to train medical students and residents in public communication strategies.

Introducing Mass Communications Strategies to Medical Students: A Novel Short Session for Fourth-Year Students.

Problem: The World Health Organization calls on all with quality medical information to share it with the public and combat health misinformation; however, U.S. medical schools do not currently teach students effective communication with lay audiences about health.

Global Health Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Challenges, Adaptations, and Lessons Learned.

Global health education programs should strive continually to improve the quality of education, increase access, create communities that foster excellence in global health practices, and ensure sustainability. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the University of Minnesota's extensive global health education programs, which includes a decade of hybrid online and in-person programing, to move completely online. We share our experience, a working framework for evaluating global health educational programming, and lessons learned.

Tricarbonyl(chlorodiphenylstannyl){η-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]cyclopenta-dienyl}molybdenum.

Reaction of the tricarbon-yl{η(5)-[2-(dimethyl-amino)eth-yl]cyclo-penta-dien-yl}molybdenum anion and dichlorido-diphenyl-stannane affords the title compound, [MoSn(C(6)H(5))(2)Cl(C(9)H(14)N)(CO)(3)], which exhibits a four-legged piano-stool geometry with chlorido-diphenyl-stannyl ligands unperturbed by the pendant 2-(dimethyl-amino)ethyl groups. The Mo-Sn bond length [2.7584 (5) Å] and the distortion of the tetra-hedral tin coordination geometry are similar to those observed in related tin-substituted tricarbonyl-molybdenum and -tungsten complexes.
