The demand for well-educated and skilled healthcare providers has never been greater. As a result, enrollment is expanding in academic settings that prepare advanced practice nurses for primary care and acute care roles. The growth in programs has led to a corresponding increased demand for clinical mentors and preceptors. The preceptors and sites must meet standards established by the academic institution, advanced practice nurse certification organizations, and state legislatures. There are a number of issues that must be considered by both students and preceptors when negotiating a clinical experience-andragological, curricular, credentialing, and legal matters must be satisfied along with meeting the clinical hour requirements. Producing a quality healthcare professional requires cooperation among the academic institution, faculty, administration, community clinicians, healthcare facilities and their staff, the students themselves, and patients who are willing to allow a student to provide care for them under the supervision of a licensed professional/preceptor.

Objective: To assess the research productivity, career advancement, grant funding, and scholarly impact of international medical graduates (IMGs) in academic cardiothoracic surgery.
Summary Background Data: Physician shortages undermine patient care and risk exacerbating inequities, especially in cardiothoracic surgery, which may lose a quarter of its workforce by 2050-the most substantial reduction in surgery. IMGs could help alleviate these shortages, but there is limited data about their academic experiences.
Heart in Focus: Advancing Pericardial Effusion Diagnosis With Point-of-Care Ultrasound.
Cureus
December 2024
Emergency, Hospital de Braga, Braga, PRT.
Pericardial effusion refers to the accumulation of fluid within the pericardial sac, the double-layered membrane surrounding the heart. It can be caused by various medical conditions and may lead to serious complications if not diagnosed and managed promptly. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a valuable tool in the clinical evaluation of pericardial effusions, offering real-time visualization and aiding in the assessment of its size, characteristics, and potential hemodynamic impact.

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Houston, Houston, Texas 77204, United States.
The influence of high-intensity electric fields on the stability of polymeric materials is a problem of interest in the design of next-generation energy storage and electronic devices, and for understanding the limits of stability of polymer films exposed to large electric fields generally. Here, we show that the dielectric strength of entangled glassy polymer films increases as an inverse power-law of the film thickness for "ultrathin" films below a micron in thickness. The dielectric strength enhancement in these polymer films becomes as large as ≈2 GV/m in films thinner than 100 nm, but in this thickness regime, the increase of the dielectric strength depends strongly on the polymer mass, sample aging time, and the method of film preparation.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to discuss the clinical, radiological, and neuropathological heterogeneity of corticobasal syndrome (CBS), which can complicate the determination of underlying etiology and lead to inaccurate treatment decisions. Though the most common diagnosis is corticobasal degeneration (CBD), the spectrum of underlying pathologies expands beyond CBD and can overlap with other neurodegenerative diseases and even the neuroimmunology field. We will review possible clinical presentations and cues that can point towards the etiology.
