Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education has become an essential component of medical school curricula. Ultrasound represents a highly effective teaching modality to reinforce anatomical knowledge gained during cadaveric dissections. At Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center-School of Medicine (TTUHSC-SOM), POCUS was incorporated into the pre-clerkship curriculum especially during the first year of medical school anatomy course.

Article Synopsis
- A web-based assessment tool for lung point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training was developed to evaluate skills in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where onsite experts may be unavailable.
- *The tool adapted the validated lung ultrasound score and was used to assess participants from Benin and South Africa at different intervals after training, yielding an overall success rate of 84%.
- *Results showed no significant differences in skill success rates based on geographical location or time since training, indicating the assessment tool's effectiveness across varying contexts.

Purpose: The diagnostic performance of large language artificial intelligence (AI) models when utilizing radiological images has yet to be investigated. We employed Claude 3 Opus (released on March 4, 2024) and Claude 3.5 Sonnet (released on June 21, 2024) to investigate their diagnostic performances in response to the Radiology's Diagnosis Please quiz questions.

Introduction: The integration of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) into the care of trauma patients, specifically the E-FAST, has improved the accuracy of initial diagnoses and improved time to surgical intervention in critically ill patients. Physician assistants (PAs) are critically important members of any military trauma resuscitation team and are often team leaders in a pre-hospital setting. They may receive training in ultrasound but there are little data to support their use or evaluate their effectiveness in using POCUS.

Dense breast tissue is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and reduces the sensitivity of mammography. Patients with dense breast tissue are more likely to present with interval cancers and higher-stage disease. Successful breast cancer screening outcomes rely on detection of early-stage breast cancers; therefore, several supplemental screening modalities have been developed to improve cancer detection in dense breast tissue.
