Anecdotal evidence suggests learners experience fatigue and burnout from multiple hours on virtual platforms. We compared summative exam performance data of second year preclinical medical students in a medical neuroscience course over consecutive years in which interactive synchronous activities occurred in-person (2019) or entirely online (2020). Exam items that assessed interactive, synchronously delivered content in 2020 had mean scores that were significantly lower than 2019. Interestingly, summative exam performance in the preceding course showed no appreciable difference. Taken together, our findings suggest that prolonged use of virtual platforms in preclinical medical education might negatively impact the efficacy of synchronous learning.

Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in low- and middle-income countries such as Haiti. Our team has demonstrated in a pilot study the implementation of a virtual cardiology curriculum to address the deficit of cardiology education in Haiti among medicine residents.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine if cardiology education can be delivered nationwide in Haiti via a virtual platform with quantifiable improvement.

Lung nodule appearance may provide prognostic information, as the presence of spiculation increases the suspicion of a nodule being cancerous. Spiculations can be quantified using morphological radiomics features extracted from CT images. Radiomics features can be affected by the acquisition parameters and scanner technologies; thus, it is essential to identify imaging conditions that provide reliable measurements, particularly for emerging technologies like photon-counting CT.

Time-lapse HR-pQCT reliably assesses and monitors local bone turnover in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Bone turnover assessment and monitoring are essential for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated bone care. Patients with CKD suffer from significantly elevated fracture risk due to abnormally high or low bone turnover, which requires diametrically opposite treatments informed by patient-specific bone turnover data. However, a reliable, accessible, non-invasive bone turnover assessment and monitoring tool remains an unmet clinical need.
