Article Abstract

The Paris 2024 Olympics marked a return to normal for the Games following the disruption caused by the pandemic, but they also heralded a new era for the global community in terms of events and competition. At the core of the Games were the athletes, each with their individual story based on their own experience and set of circumstances. Reflecting on these stories in the context of medical education emerges a narrative that can be applied to our athlete equivalents - medical students and resident doctors. The purpose of the reflection is to trigger a conversation about what our new era of medical education should look like - the things that we should continue doing, the things we could look to do differently, and the things we should look to stop doing.

Spontaneous Catalytic Reaction of a Surfactant in the Interfacial Microenvironment of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science, Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory for Coastal Ecology and Environmental Studies, Center for Marine Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology, College of the Environment and Ecology, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361102, China.

The performance of nanomaterials is significantly determined by the interfacial microenvironment, in which a surfactant plays an essential role as the adsorbent, but its involvement in the interfacial reaction is often overlooked. Here, it was discovered that citrate and ascorbic acid, the two primarily used surfactants for colloidal gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), can spontaneously undergo catalytic reaction with trace-level nitrogenous residue under ambient environment to form oxime, which is subsequently cleaved to generate CN or a compound containing the -CN group. Such a catalytic reaction shows wide universality in both reactants, including various carbonaceous and nitrogenous sources, and metal catalysts, including Au, Ag, Fe, Cu, Ni, Pt, and Pd NPs.

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.
