Among the several programs that allow access to medical specialization in Chile, the National Health Services System Entrance Contest (CONISS) is held annually for newly graduated physicians, which has a high number of applicants. The academic qualifications expressed as National Medical Qualification (CMN) are the main item of the scoring system. We reviewed the total scores and the CMN of the different medical specialization programs that exist in the country, which constitutes novel and relevant information for future medical graduates interested in applying to the program. In addition, the quotas of the different programs are reported, expressed as total, free, and used quotas.

Patient centered medication treatment for opioid use disorder in rural Vermont: a qualitative study.

Addict Sci Clin Pract

January 2025

Center for Technology and Behavioral Health, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College, Lebanon, NH, 03766, USA.

Background: Opioid-related fatal overdoses are occurring at historically high levels and increasing each year. Accessible social and financial support are imperative to the initiation and success of treatment for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) offer effective treatment but there are many more people with untreated OUD than receiving evidence-based medication.

Background: Wound repair methods are commonly used in clinical practice, such as skin graft and flap repair, which can cause secondary injuries, and high costs. Many methods for skin stretching and repair have been reported domestically and internationally. However, their clinical use is limited owing to lack of equipment, complexity, and high costs.

Background: Research demonstrates that Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) improves clinical outcomes for patients. Improving clinician satisfaction with POCUS should promote utilization into everyday practice, leading to improved clinical outcomes. Despite this benefit, there are still barriers to use including POCUS workflow.

Background: Historically, eating disorder (ED) research has largely focused on White girls and women, with minority ethnic populations underrepresented. Most research exploring EDs in minority ethnic populations has been conducted in the United States (US). The aim of this scoping review, the first of its kind, was to systematically examine research on disordered eating and EDs among minority ethnic populations in Australia, Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand and the United Kingdom (UK), four countries with shared sociocultural and healthcare characteristics.

TP53 germline testing and hereditary cancer: how somatic events and clinical criteria affect variant detection rate.

Genome Med

January 2025

Hereditary Cancer Group, Oncobell Program, Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL), Av. Gran Via 199-203, L'Hospitalet del Llobregat, 08908, Spain.

Background: Germline heterozygous pathogenic variants (PVs) in TP53 cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a condition associated with increased risk of multiple tumor types. As the associated cancer risks were refined over time, clinical criteria also evolved to optimize diagnostic yield. The implementation of multi-gene panel germline testing in different clinical settings has led to the identification of TP53 PV carriers outside the classic LFS-associated cancer phenotypes, leading to a broader cancer phenotypic redefinition and to the renaming of the condition as "heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome" (hTP53rc).
