Competency-Based Cardiology Training: A Simple Approach to Improve Supervisor Completion of Entrustable Professional Activities.

Background: Adult cardiology residency programs formally transitioned to Competency by Design (CBD) in July 2021. CBD was designed to establish clear learning expectations and increase opportunities for coaching; however, cited challenges include inconsistent participation by staff, and variable timelines for receiving feedback. This project was designed to implement a simple intervention to improve expiry rates and completion timelines of entrustable professional activities (EPAs).

The effect of natural reducing agents on push-out bond strength of AH plus and BioRoot RCS to sodium hypochlorite treated root dentin.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of natural anticoagulants 6.5% proanthocyanidin (PA) and 25% bamboo salt on push-out bond strength (PBS) of AH Plus and BioRoot RCS to dentin.

Subjects And Methods: 30 single-rooted extracted human teeth were collected.

Where Did the Pericardial Effusion Go? A Case of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Acting as Treatment for Pericardial Tamponade.

Pericardial tamponade results in multiple organ dysfunction and can lead to cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a life-saving measure performed on patients in cardiac arrest, can lead to thoracic organ damage. However, CPR rarely acts as a therapeutic treatment for pericardial tamponade.
