The influenza outbreak that occurred during 1918-1920 was a defining moment in the history of the world and osteopathic medicine. Despite the tremendous loss of human life, osteopathic physicians also observed greater success in the treatment of patients with the disease, in contrast with their allopathic counterparts. Osteopathic physicians also succumbed to the deadly influenza effects while treating patients. A list of osteopathic physicians who died of influenza or related complications during the pandemic, obtained from osteopathic journals from that time, is provided, along with the historical context of the pandemic.

Image Guidance is Associated with Improved Freedom From Recurrence After Superficial Radiation Therapy for Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer.
Adv Radiat Oncol
December 2024
Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.
Purpose: This is the first study to quantify the 2-year freedom from recurrence for individuals with nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and squamous carcinoma in situ (SCCIS) treated with image guided superficial radiation therapy (IGSRT) versus SRT without image guidance.
Methods And Materials: This retrospective cohort study evaluates the 2-year freedom recurrence rate of NMSCs treated by IGSRT (March 2016 to January 2022) and compares it to existing data on NMSCs treated by SRT via 1 sample proportion tests. Individuals >18 years old with biopsy-proven SCC, SCCIS, and/or BCC treated with IGSRT were included in the study, and 1602 patients/2880 treated lesions were followed until January 14, 2022.

The assessment of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in residency: the benefits of a four-year longitudinally integrated curriculum.
J Osteopath Med
January 2025
Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA.
Context: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has diverse applications across various clinical specialties, serving as an adjunct to clinical findings and as a tool for increasing the quality of patient care. Owing to its multifunctionality, a growing number of medical schools are increasingly incorporating POCUS training into their curriculum, some offering hands-on training during the first 2 years of didactics and others utilizing a longitudinal exposure model integrated into all 4 years of medical school education. Midwestern University Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine (MWU-AZCOM) adopted a 4-year longitudinal approach to include POCUS education in 2017.

Patients feel physicians are more caring if they sense their physician is empathetic. Yet, longitudinal studies have shown an erosion of affective empathy as allopathic medical students progress through their education.
