Article Synopsis
- Objectives of the study were to evaluate the use of CT pulmonary angiography (CT-PA) in the medical intensive care unit (MICU), focusing on its costs, risks, and the effectiveness of clinical decision rules (CDRs) in minimizing unnecessary tests.
- The study analyzed 439 CT-PA cases over four years and found a low diagnostic yield of 11%, with higher Wells scores indicating a higher likelihood of positive results but a significant rate of acute kidney injury (AKI) following the tests.
- The findings suggest that CT-PA is often overused in the MICU, but utilizing the Wells score could help in reducing unnecessary tests and limiting radiation exposure and risk of AKI for critically ill patients.

Article Synopsis
- ECMO patients undergo multiple radiologic studies, leading to possibly excessive radiation exposure beyond recommended limits set by the ICRP.
- In a study of 306 adult ECMO patients from 2016 to 2018, about 9.4% received over 50 mSv and 4.5% over 100 mSv of cumulative effective dose (CED).
- The majority of radiation exposure was attributed to CT scans and interventional radiology procedures, highlighting the need for guidelines to reduce radiation exposure in these patients.

From the Respiratory Institute, Cleveland Clinic, 9500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44106, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Asthma, a common respiratory disease that affects about 10% of the US population, represents a significant public health issue. In the last decade, cumulative evidence has demonstrated sex disparities in asthma, including significant differences in epidemiology, clinical presentation, response to therapies, and health outcomes. Understanding sex-related differences in asthma enables clinicians to provide personalized asthma care and improve asthma outcome.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether the timing of an interview relative to the recruitment season was associated with being ranked or matched at an academic medical center.
Methods: Eleven specialties (anesthesiology, diagnostic radiology, emergency medicine, family medicine, general surgery, internal medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics-gynecology, orthopedic surgery, and psychiatry) that participated in the National Resident Matching Program were included in the study. Each program's total number of interview days during the October 2014-January 2015 interview season were divided equally into three interview time periods.
