Professionalism: An ArchaeologyAbstractFor more than two decades, classes on "professionalism" have been the dominant platform for the non-technical socialization of medical students. It thus subsumes elements of previous foundation courses in bioethics and "medicine and society" in defining the appropriate relation between practitioners, patients, and society-at-large. Despite its importance, there is, however, no clear definition of what "professionalism" entails or the manner in which it serves...

Imaging and Surgical Treatment of Primary Pulmonary Artery SarcomaAbstractPrimary pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare tumor originating from the pulmonary artery tree. Given the low incidence, few centers have reported on more than a handful of cases. Because of its rarity it is also commonly misdiagnosed as pulmonary embolism. Multi-modality diagnostic imaging and recognition of specific imaging characteristics along with a high index of suspicion is required to make the correct diagnosis and expedite...

The State of Resting State NetworksFunctional MRI (fMRI) is currently used for pre-surgical planning, but is often limited to information on the motor and language systems. Resting state fMRI can provide more information on multiple other networks to the neurosurgeon and neuroradiologist; however, currently, these networks are not well known among clinicians. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide an introduction to these networks for the clinician and to discuss how they could be used in the...

A new patient care standard requiring twice-daily chlorhexidine cleansing from umbilicus to knees was implemented on all patients...
Effects of monoamine uptake inhibitors on pain-related depression of nesting in micePain is a significant public health problem, and assessment of pain-related impairment of behavior is a key clinical indicator and treatment target. Similar to opioids and NSAIDs, dopamine (DA) transporter inhibitors block pain-related depression of intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) in rats. The primary goal of the present study was to determine if the effects of monoamine uptake inhibitors on pain-related depression...

Offline beats online: transcranial direct current stimulation timing influences on working memoryThe n-back task is an established measure of an individual's working memory. In this task, participants have to continuously update their working memory to react to a stimulus correctly.
