Radiographic Changes

This volume is a compact miscellany of many important, diagnostic problems in pediatric radiology. It is designed primarily to test the competence of medical students and pediatric and radiologic residents in the diagnostic evaluation of the radiographic changes, in cases in which the radiographic examination plays an essential role. Dr. Heller in the Preface points out that "this little volume presents some of the highlights" in the wide, deep, and complex field of pediatric radiology.

This book is an extremely ambitious undertaking covering a wide range of abnormalities in a relatively short space. The authors start and finish with some practical guidelines for the radiographic examination of the pediatric patient based on many years of experience in a good pediatric hospital. The organization of the diseases presented is logical with many references supplied. Some of the entities are discussed in detail while others, properly, are only mentioned with appropriate references suggested. The scope of the diseases presented is very wide; perhaps deletion of some of the rare conditions would have provided space for more discussion of common problems.

Radiographic Changes

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical and radiographic changes in patients with postural rounded upper back. METHODS: 30 patients diagnosed with postural rounded upper back were studied, being 22 male and eight female, aged between 10 and 20 years, referred by the outpatient clinic of the Grupo de Cirurgia da Coluna of the Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo, SP, Brazil. Patients underwent assessment of posture, special tests to check for muscle retractions and radiographic examination to measure the curvatures of spine using the Cobb method. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: It is concluded that in the postural roundback there is a moderate increase of the thoracic kyphosis; the lumbar and cervical curvatures do not increase as a compensatory mechanism; the head appears anteriorized and the shoulder is also anteriorized and medially rotated; muscle retractions are present in the hamstrings, hip flexors, pectoralis minor and adductors of the shoulder muscles; the mobility of the lumbar spine is preserved and there is no relationship between the magnitude of thoracic curvature and the retraction of the hamstring muscles.

The Right

Knowledge of medical ethics and law plays an essential role in the training of future doctors and this chapter provides a clear overview of what medical students need to know in terms of ethical decision-making and practice. The 1998 Consensus Statement on ethics for UK medical schools is summarized. The chapter discusses patients—their values, narratives, rights, and responsibilities. Consent and refusal in medical decision-making, including the main elements of valid consent, are analysed, along with the right to confidentiality and its limits. The chapter gives practical guidance on ethical behaviour while at medical school, ensuring patient dignity during physical examinations (e.g. pulling the curtains round a bed) and protecting patient confidentiality (e.g. not discussing a case in a crowded hospital lift). The chapter also advises medical students on how to learn from what they observe during their training, whether in the lecture theatre or on the ward, to help build their own ethical practise.

Purpose: Implementing competency-based medical education in diagnostic radiology residencies will change the paradigm of learning and assessment for residents. The objective of this study is to evaluate medical student perceptions of competency-based medical education in diagnostic radiology programs and how this may affect their decision to pursue a career in diagnostic radiology. Methods: First-, second-, and third-year medical students at a Canadian university were invited to complete a 14-question survey containing a mix of multiple choice, yes/no, Likert scale, and open-ended questions. This aimed to collect information on students’ understanding and perceptions of competency-based medical education and how the transition to competency-based medical education would factor into their decision to enter a career in diagnostic radiology. Results: The survey was distributed to 300 medical students and received 63 responses (21%). Thirty-seven percent of students had an interest in pursuing diagnostic radiology that ranged from interested to committed and 46% reported an understanding of competency-based medical education and its learning approach. The implementation of competency-based medical education in diagnostic radiology programs was reported to be a positive factor by 70% of students and almost all reported that breaking down residency into measurable milestones and required case exposure was beneficial. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that medical students perceive competency-based medical education to be a beneficial change to diagnostic radiology residency programs. The changes accompanying the transition to competency-based medical education were favored by students and factored into their residency decision-making.

Coding Strategy

Introduction: Medical training could not occur without the contributions of patients. Few programs are available that recognize patients for their essential role in medical education, and even fewer explore their impact. The Patients as Teachers (PaT) program was developed to provide an opportunity for medical students to formally honor patients for their contributions and to evaluate their effect on students’ medical education. Methods: This qualitative study involved the evaluation of transcripts of audiotaped interviews conducted with students and their honorees following participation in the PaT program in 2015 and 2016. Two different sets of authors independently examined transcripts from each year utilizing a descriptive coding strategy. Consensus was reached on theme selection and relationships between themes explored for theory development. A third author ensured grounding of the concepts in the data analyzed. Results: Four themes emerged: (1) appreciating humanism in medicine, (2) expressing gratitude, (3) connecting patients and students, and (4) experiencing a unique event. Conclusion: The Patients as Teachers program provides meaningful benefits to both students and patients and has the potential to infuse elements of humanism into medical training.
