Over the past two decades, there has been an exponential and enthusiastic adoption of simulation in healthcare education internationally. Medicine has learned much from professions that have established programs in simulation for training, such as aviation, the military and space exploration. Increased demands on training hours, limited patient encounters, and a focus on patient safety have led...

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on entire medical education process has been challenging. These changes may next generation students, residents, surgeons, and surgeon educators. We would like to thank Gambril et al.1Gambril A. Egbaria J. Boyd C.

A biaxial version of the Gay-Beme potential used to model uniaxial anisotropic molecules is developed. This novel biaxial potential can be used to deal with molecules with different attractive and repulsive contributions along their three axes. The Gay-Berne (GB) [l] potential can be regarded as an anisotropic and shifted version of the Lennard-Jones 6-12 (LJ) interaction suitable for uniaxial ...

Last year, graduates from MD-granting medical schools in the United States applied to an average of 23.7 family medicine residency programs and interviewed at 11. This year, applications were projected to increase again to 25.81 (a 57% increase since 2009). During this same time period, allopathic family medicine graduate medical education (GME) positions offered through the National Resident M...

Conduction velocities along longitudinal (vL) and transverse (VT) fiber axes were determined in isolated porcine hearts from subepicardial activation patterns that were produced by local stimulation and measured with a multiterminal electrode. In some of the experiments extracellular [K' ] ([K'].) and transmembrane potentials were recorded. During normal perfusion VL and VT were (cm/sec) 50.08 ...
