Many radiology departments have successfully increased trainee research involvement by providing protected academic time for research, offering travel funding for conferences, and developing research-focused curriculum via resident research tracks and other mechanisms. A departmental platform for trainees to share their scholarly projects can foster intradepartmental awareness and collaborations, supplement the existing resident research curriculum, encourage peer learning amongst trainees, and allow departmental celebration of their trainees' accomplishments. The authors describe the development of a departmental symposium for resident scholarly activity at their institution and detail a practical framework for implementation and lessons learned, which may serve as a guide for other radiology departments interested in establishing a similar event.

Background: Numerous barriers hinder health research training in Post-Graduate Medical Education Programs, especially in developing countries. Research training is pivotal for medical residency, providing essential knowledge and skills for dissertation completion, fostering evidence-based medical practice, and nurturing future independent clinical researchers. A holistic approach to research education is imperative to surmount these barriers.

Background: To optimize right ventricular-pulmonary coupling during veno-arterial (VA) ECMO weaning, inotropes, vasopressors and/or vasodilators are used to change right ventricular (RV) function (contractility) and pulmonary artery (PA) elastance (afterload). RV-PA coupling is the ratio between right ventricular contractility and pulmonary vascular elastance and as such, is a measure of optimized crosstalk between ventricle and vasculature. Little is known about the physiology of RV-PA coupling during VA ECMO.

The Philips Visual Patient Avatar, a user-centered visualization technology, offers an alternative approach to patient monitoring. Computer-based simulation studies indicate that it increases diagnostic accuracy and confidence, while reducing perceived workload. About three months after the technology's integration into clinical practice, we conducted an assessment among anesthesia providers to determine their views on its strengths, limitations, and overall perceptions.

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a form of respiratory failure stemming from various underlying conditions that ultimately lead to inflammation and lung fibrosis. Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal motif (BET) inhibitors are a class of medications that selectively bind to the bromodomains of BET motif proteins, effectively reducing inflammation. However, the use of BET inhibitors in ARDS treatment has not been previously investigated.

This review describes the intricate physiological interactions involved in the application of extracorporeal therapy, with specific focus on cardiopulmonary relationships. Extracorporeal therapy significantly influences cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, highlighting the necessity for clinicians to understand these interactions for improved patient care. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (veno-arterial ECMO) unloads the right ventricle and increases left ventricular (LV) afterload, potentially exacerbating LV failure and pulmonary edema.
