Context: Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is a method for enhancing learner skill prior to initiating care for real patients. Although the use of SBME continues to grow, there is limited data on simulations related to osteopathic medical training. Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) applies hands-on techniques to facilitate healing. We hypothesized that the use of SBME to closely mimic OMM provided to the hospitalized patient would help to increase individual knowledge and comfort with OMM techniques and increase the likelihood of a learner utilizing OMM techniques on patients.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the SBME lab to enhance the learning of medical learners of OMM on hospitalized patients, and to determine the favorability of the OMM SBME experience by learners.
Methods: This was a single-institution pilot quality improvement project that utilized a novel simulation to provide OMM to critically ill and hospitalized patients. The simulation was a single instructor-led event lasting 2 h. The OMM experience utilized specialized simulation gowns and hospital beds to mimic the treatment of postsurgical ileus, acute respiratory failure, and congestive heart failure (CHF) exacerbation. Learners alternated between the role of physician (practicing technique) and the patient (wearing the simulation gown). Pre- and postsurveys evaluated learners' knowledge and comfort regarding OMM in hospitalized patients. Graduate medical residents/fellows from five osteopathic-recognized programs and medical students on rotations (n=35) participated in the simulation, and n=32 completed the postsimulation survey. The survey included 15 questions and utilized a 5-point Likert Scale. Results were analyzed with the chi-square test.
Results: The average knowledge pretest score ranged from 2.5 to 3.5 for the 15 questions. Learner knowledge improved for all areas evaluated, with a range of 3.6-4.6 for the postsurvey. The p-value was significant for each question. In addition, lab, simulation, and lecturers were evaluated and were received positively.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that simulation may be an effective way to increase knowledge and comfort on how to apply OMM in a hospital setting.

Purpose: Medically tailored transitional foods (TFs) may be a clinically viable alternative to pureed consistency for individuals requiring texture-modified foods. However, little remains known about the performance of TFs during the swallow. The purpose of this investigation was to describe oropharyngeal swallowing physiology in patients with dysphagia during consumption of TFs as compared to pureed solids.

From the Department of Pediatric Rheumatology, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Medical School.
Objectives: Our study aimed to identify potential predictors for additional systemic involvement in patients with noninfectious uveitis, specifically focusing on their demographic, etiological, clinical, and laboratory data features from the pediatric rheumatology perspective.
Methods: Patients with noninfectious uveitis before the age of 18 years and followed up for at least 3 months in 2 tertiary centers of pediatric rheumatology and ophthalmology departments were included in the study. Demographics, etiology, clinical features, laboratory data, and treatments administered were evaluated and compared based on the etiology (idiopathic and systemic disease-related uveitis [SD-U]) and the use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
