TL;DR: A case of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is presented and suggestions are made on ways to increase diagnostic accuracy, reduce complications, and preserve future fertility in this group of patients.
Abstract: . Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy continues to be an important challenge facing emergency physicians. The authors present a case of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnency and discuss its clinical features and diagnositc difficulties. A review of the English-language literature on the subject is discussed. Suggestions are made on ways to increase diagnostic accuracy, reduce complications, and preserve future fertility in this group of patients.

TL;DR: The use of conventional radiography, complex motion tomography, and computed tomography for evaluation of eight patients with orbital floor fractures indicates that CT scans in an axial plane with coronal and sagittal reformations offer the best radiographic evaluation of the orbit.

TL;DR: Empiric use of therapeutic AC conferred survival benefit to patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, but did not show benefit in non-critically ill patients hospitalized for COVID-19.
Abstract: Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 demonstrate a higher risk of developing thromboembolism. Anticoagulation (AC) has been proposed for high-risk patients, even without confirmed thromboembolism. However, benefits and risks of AC are not well assessed due to insufficient clinical data. We performed a retrospective analysis of outcomes from AC in a large population of COVID-19 patients. We retrospectively reviewed 1189 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 between March 5 and May 15, 2020, with primary outcomes of mortality, invasive mechanical ventilation, and major bleeding. Patients who received therapeutic AC for known indications were excluded. Propensity score matching of baseline characteristics and admission parameters was performed to minimize bias between cohorts. The analysis cohort included 973 patients. Forty-four patients who received therapeutic AC for confirmed thromboembolic events and atrial fibrillation were excluded. After propensity score matching, 133 patients received empiric therapeutic AC while 215 received low dose prophylactic AC. Overall, there was no difference in the rate of invasive mechanical ventilation (73.7% versus 65.6%, p = 0.133) or mortality (60.2% versus 60.9%, p = 0.885). However, among patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, empiric therapeutic AC was an independent predictor of lower mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.476, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.345–0.657, p < 0.001) with longer median survival (14 days vs 8 days, p < 0.001), but these associations were not observed in the overall cohort (p = 0.063). Additionally, no significant difference in mortality was found between patients receiving empiric therapeutic AC versus prophylactic AC in various subgroups with different D-dimer level cutoffs. Patients who received therapeutic AC showed a higher incidence of major bleeding (13.8% vs 3.9%, p < 0.001). Furthermore, patients with a HAS-BLED score of ≥2 had a higher risk of mortality (HR 1.482, 95% CI 1.110–1.980, p = 0.008), while those with a score of ≥3 had a higher risk of major bleeding (Odds ratio: 1.883, CI: 1.114–3.729, p = 0.016). Empiric use of therapeutic AC conferred survival benefit to patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, but did not show benefit in non-critically ill patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Careful bleeding risk estimation should be pursued before considering escalation of AC intensity.

TL;DR: This performance-based method was found to be more powerful than using the scores on the 1977 version of the Medical College Admission Test or the students' undergraduate grade-point averages, or both, in identifying individual students who were academically at risk.
Abstract: The authors studied three classes at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and found that students' performances on examinations administered during the third month (November) of medical school were highly predictive of their subsequent performances during the first two years of medical school. The investigation had two components: (1) a retrospective study of the classes of 1988 and 1989, which found that students' November grades from three first-year courses predicted 76% of the variance in the year-one weighted aggregate score and 41% for the year-two score, and (2) a prospective study of the class of 1992, in which three November of year one examination scores of the students in the lowest quarter of the class were highly predictive of their encountering substantial academic problems, with a sensitivity of .77 and a specificity of .99. This performance-based method was found to be more powerful than using the scores on the 1977 version of the Medical College Admission Test or the students' undergraduate grade-point averages, or both, in identifying individual students who were academically at risk.
