TL;DR: Competency-based integrated practical examinations (IPEs) for first two years incorporating basic science principles with clinical relevance in integrated curriculum were well-received and valued both by students and faculty members.
Abstract: Background: The practical examinations in subject-based curriculum have been criticized for lack of relevance and clinical application. We developed competency-based integrated practical examinations (IPEs) for first two years incorporating basic science principles with clinical relevance in our integrated curriculum.Aim: To bring relevance to basic science laboratory practical examinations by conducting competency-based IPEs.Methods: IPEs were developed according to competency-based blueprinting for each integrated module. Clinical scenarios were used as triggers followed by tasks pertaining to laboratory tests, relevant physical diagnosis and ethics/professional aspects utilizing standardized patients. Checklists were developed for standardized marking. A feedback questionnaire and two focus group discussions were administered to a random group of students from both first and second year students. Faculty members’ feedback was also recorded on a questionnaire.Results: Almost all the students agreed that...

TL;DR: Initial imaging of six variants for chronic dyspnea of noncardiovascular origin are discussed, and expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.
Abstract: Chronic dyspnea may result from a variety of disorders of cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, neuromuscular, systemic, and psychogenic etiology. This article discusses guidelines for the initial imaging of six variants for chronic dyspnea of noncardiovascular origin: (1) Chronic dyspnea of unclear etiology; (2) Chronic dyspnea with suspected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; (3) Chronic dyspnea with suspected central airways disease; (4) Chronic dyspnea with suspected interstitial lung disease; (5) Chronic dyspnea with suspected disease of the pleura or chest wall; and (6) Chronic dyspnea with suspected diaphragm dysfunction. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

TL;DR: The results of the animal work and the chemical analysis gain in importance and the conclusions one may derive have not only academic significance in defining the observed carcinogenic activity in terms of chemical components, but may also some day prove to be of practical importance.

TL;DR: A draft, streamlined VAP surveillance definition developed for use in adult patients is critically reviewed and a final adult surveillance definition algorithm to be implemented in the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), taking into consideration the potential future use of the definition algorithm in public reporting, interfacility comparisons, and pay-for-reporting and pay for-performance programs.
