Artificial intelligence software can generate residency application personal statements that program directors find acceptable and difficult to distinguish from applicant compositions.

Study Objective: Create personal statements using an artificial intelligence program for anesthesiology residency applications that residency program directors rate as acceptable.

Study Design: Generate two personal statements and survey program directors.

Setting: Anesthesiology residency training programs.

IPEM Topical Report: an international IPEM survey of MRI use for external beam radiotherapy treatment planning.

. Despite growing interest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), integration in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) treatment planning uptake varies globally. In order to understand the current international landscape of MRI in EBRT a survey has been performed in 11 countries.

IPEM topical report: guidance on the use of MRI for external beam radiotherapy treatment planning.

This document gives guidance for multidisciplinary teams within institutions setting up and using an MRI-guided radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning service. It has been written by a multidisciplinary working group from the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). Guidance has come from the experience of the institutions represented in the IPEM working group, in consultation with other institutions, and where appropriate references are given for any relevant legislation, other guidance documentation and information in the literature.

Audit feasibility for geometric distortion in magnetic resonance imaging for radiotherapy.

Background And Purpose: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used in radiotherapy (RT). However, geometric distortions are a known challenge of using MRI in RT. The aim of this study was to demonstrate feasibility of a national audit of MRI geometric distortions.

Guidance on the use of MRI for treatment planning in radiotherapy clinical trials.

The aim of this article is to propose meaningful guidance covering the technical and safety issues involved when designing or conducting radiotherapy clinical trials that use MRI for treatment planning. The complexity of imaging requirements will depend on the trial aims, design and MRI methods used.The use of MRI within the RT pathway is becoming more prevalent and clinically appropriate as access to MRI increases, treatment planning systems become more versatile and potential indications for MRI-planning in RT are documented.

IPEM Topical Report: A 2018 IPEM survey of MRI use for external beam radiotherapy treatment planning in the UK.

The benefits of integrating MRI into the radiotherapy pathway are well published, however there is little consensus in guidance on how to commission or implement its use. With a view to developing consensus guidelines for the use of MRI in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) treatment planning in the UK, a survey was undertaken by an Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) working-party to assess the current landscape of MRI use in EBRT in the UK. A multi-disciplinary working-party developed a survey to understand current practice using MRI for EBRT treatment planning; investigate how MRI is currently used and managed; and identify knowledge gaps.

Plagiarism in Personal Statements of Anesthesiology Residency Applicants.

Plagiarism by residency applicants in their personal statements, as well as sites that sell personal statements, have been described, and led in 2011 to advice to avoid plagiarism and the caution that plagiarism detection software was available. We screened personal statements of 467 anesthesiology residency applicants from 2013-2014 using Viper Plagiarism Scanner software, and studied them for plagiarism. After quotes and commonly used phrases were removed, 82 statements contained unoriginal content of 8 or more consecutive words.

Acute normovolemic hemodilution in a Jehovah's Witness patient: a case report.

Patients who are Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions and blood products as a matter of faith. For surgical procedures during which substantial blood loss is possible, their refusal presents a challenge. 'Anesthetists must generally respect the requests of adults not to receive blood and thus should have a clear understanding of how they will respond in the event of bleeding.

Hydrogen-bond patterns in the congruent complex 4-nitrophenol-acetamide (1/1).

Fusion of 4-nitrophenol and acetamide in a 1:1 molar ratio gives the title product, C6H5NO3.C2H5NO, (III), which has the character of a pure covalently bonded compound, having a high sharp melting point. Complex (III) (m.

An analysis of risk factors associated with failure of below knee amputations.

Background: Below knee amputation (BKA) is often required in patients with critical limb ischemia. When such a procedure fails, an above knee revision (AKA) is required. This can cause further complications in this group of patients, who already have a high incidence of medical co-morbidities.
