Large deviations principles for a family of scalar 1 + 1 dimensional conservative stochastic PDEs (viscous conservation laws) are investigated, in the limit of jointly vanishing noise and viscosity. A first large deviations principle is obtained in a space of Young measures. The associated rate functional vanishes on a wide set, the so-called set of measurevalued solutions to the limiting conse...

INTRODUCTION Ultrasound-guided (UG) technique is the recommended procedure for central venous catheterization (CVC). However, as ultrasound may not be available in emergency situations, guidelines also propose that physicians remain skilled in landmark (LM) placement. We conducted this prospective observational study to determine the learning curve of the LM technique in residents only learning...

Introduction. Practicing medicine needs correct, up to date and easy to use information resources. This study is designed to investigate different aspects of the resources used by internal medicine attending physicians, residents and interns. Methods. All attendings (n: 43), residents (n: 23) and interns (n: 33) of internal medicine ward were, after receiving a brief introduction about the ai...

a St. John Hospital and Medical Center, Department of Pathology. Detroit, MI, USA. All physicians and pathologists are well aware of the fact that the autopsy rate has been declining for the last few decades. An autopsy was performed on 40% to 60% of all hospital deaths in the United States before 1970.1,2 Now this rate has gone below 5%.1,2 Our educational institution had a 20-fold decrease in...

background: examining educational environment (academic and clinical) by means ofa valid, reliable and comprehensive questionnaire is a major key inachievinga highly qualified student – oriented curricula. the persian translation of ambulatory care learning education environment measure-acleem questionnaire has been developed to support this goal, and its psychometrics has beenexplored in this ...

Objectives. Ultrasound (US) guidance is a safe and effective method for peripheral intravenous (IV) catheter placement. However, no studies have directly compared the success rate of emergency medicine (EM) residents and nurses at using this technique especially in community hospital settings. This prospective "noninferiority" study sought to demonstrate that nursing staff are at least as succe...
