Improving medical students' responses to emergencies with a simulated cross-cover paging curriculum.

New residents are often unprepared to respond to medical emergencies. To address this gap, we implemented a simulated cross-cover paging curriculum. All senior medical students enrolled in a required specialty-specific (internal medicine, procedures, emergency medicine [EM], obstetrics and gynecology [OBGYN], family medicine and pediatrics) residency preparation course (RPC) in 2020-2021 participated.

Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) in the emergency department: a scoping review.

Introduction: While many studies have been published on Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in the Emergency Department (ED), there has been no previous study assessing the current state of the literature based in the form of a scoping review.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current state of the literature on UGRA performed in the ED setting.

Methods: EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies.

Defect-Engineered Coordination Compound Nanoparticles Based on Prussian Blue Analogues for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool for label-free chemical analysis. The emergence of nonmetallic materials as SERS substrates, offering chemical signal enhancements, presents an exciting direction for achieving reproducible and biocompatible SERS, a challenge with traditional metallic substrates. Despite the potential, the realm of nonmetallic SERS substrates, particularly nanoparticles, remains largely untapped.

Fourier Transform Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Spectroscopy: A Comprehensive Review.

Fourier transform coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (FT-CARS) spectroscopy is a powerful spectroscopic method that combines the principles of Fourier transform spectroscopy with coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS). This method stands out in spectroscopy for its ability to rapidly acquire coherent Raman spectra, achieving an impressive rate of over 10 000 spectra per second. The method involves scanning the optical delay between two femtosecond pulses; the initial pulse induces a vibrational coherence in the sample, while the subsequent pulse probes this coherence over increasing delays.
