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.

Neurology Department, University Hospital Fattouma Bourguiba, Monastir, Tunisia.
Background: Accurate distinction between stroke etiologic subtypes is critical for physicians to provide tailored treatment. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, has been associated with stroke risk but its role in distinguishing stroke etiologic subtypes remains unclear. We aimed to assess the TyG index's ability to differentiate cardioembolic (CE) from non-cardioembolic (NCE) strokes.

Toronto 3D Knowledge Synthesis and Clinical Trials Unit, Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Center, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, Toronto, ON M5B 1W8, Canada.
Background: Use of health applications (apps) to support healthy lifestyles has intensified. Different app features may support effectiveness, including gamification defined as the use of game elements in a non-game situation. Whether health apps with gamification can impact behaviour change and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown.

Department of Experimental Research, Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital, Nanning, China.
Background: Body mass index (BMI) consistently correlates with the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, which in turn is linked to heightened cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Thus, insulin resistance could potentially mediate the association between BMI and CVD risk. However, few studies have explored this mechanism in the general population.
