Interprofessional education (IPE) has been shown to improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction. IPE is now represented in the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's emergency medicine (EM) milestones given the team-based nature of EM. The Highland Allied Health Rotation Program (H-AHRP) was developed by residents to enhance and standardize IPE for EM residents in a single hospital setting.

Vision loss in young adults is relatively rare. In patients with suspected HIV or syphilis, the risk of developing vision loss is increased, and should alert the emergency physician of specific retinal pathologies. We present a case of a 33-year-old man with recently identified syphilis and HIV, who was diagnosed with bilateral retinal detachments (RDs) with the help of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the setting of panuveitis (preventing visualization with direct fundoscopy).

Background: Studies suggest that freezing of gait (FoG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with declines in executive function (EF). However, EF is multi-faceted, including three dissociable components: inhibiting prepotent responses, switching between task sets, and updating working memory.

Objective: This study investigated which aspect of EF is most strongly associated with FoG in PD.

  • - Mariko Nomura's research primarily focuses on advancing interprofessional education (IPE) in emergency medicine, evidenced by the development of the Highland Allied Health Rotation Program, which aims to enhance and standardize IPE for emergency medicine residents.
  • - Nomura's work also addresses critical clinical issues, such as the rare but serious side effects of loperamide, presenting a case of torsades de pointes associated with its supratherapeutic use, highlighting the importance of vigilant monitoring in overdose situations.
  • - Additionally, she has contributed to the understanding of syphilis-related vision loss through the use of point-of-care ultrasound, showcasing its utility in diagnosing serious retinal conditions in patients with concurrent HIV infection.
