Battling time restrictions with collective discourse: collaborative quizzes in a condensed human anatomy course.

Background: Undergraduate medical education is currently undergoing a remarkable period of transformation. The exponential growth of medical knowledge, accompanied by societal changes and expectations for the upcoming generation of physicians, is placing immense pressure on academic institutions to reform their curricula, particularly foundational courses such as human anatomy. Consequently, instructors are grappling with the challenge of striking a balance between a new curriculum and maintaining the time-honored benchmarks of medical education.

Omega-3 Levels in Prenatal Supplements.

Objective:  This study aimed to systematically document the reported omega-3 levels in commercially available prenatal supplements in the United States and Canada, and compare these levels to recommended intakes in pregnancy.

Study Design:  Commercial prenatal supplements were identified using the Dietary Supplement Label Database ( = 50) and the Licensed Natural Health Products Database ( = 18). Mean omega-3 levels and the proportion of products meeting recommendations for pregnant women were tabulated.

A Scoping Review of Population Diversity in the Common Genomic Aberrations of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Introduction: Previous literature has shown that clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is becoming a more prevalent diagnosis and that the incidence and mortality differ both regionally and racially. While the molecular profiles for ccRCC are studied regionally through biopsy and sequencing techniques, the genomic landscape and ccRCC diversity data are not well studied. We conducted a review of the known genomic data on 6 of the most clinically relevant DNA biomarkers in ccRCC: von Hippel-Lindau (vHL), Polybromo-1 (PBRM1), Breast Cancer Gene 1-Associated Protein 1 (BAP1), Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase Domain-Containing 2 (SETD2), Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR), and Lysine-Specific Demethylase 5C (KDM5C).

Successful Management of Spontaneous Unilateral Twin Ectopic Pregnancy With Two-Step Dose of Methotrexate.

The incidence of unilateral tubal twin pregnancy is 1/20,000-1/250,000 with about 100 reported cases. Four of the six cases that were medically managed were successful. A 24-year-old female presented to the emergency department (ED) with vaginal bleeding and abdominal cramping.
