ABSTRACT  The in-training examination (ITE) offers formative assessments of residents' developing medical knowledge. Identification of an ITE performance level associated with success on the specialty board examination allows identification of “at risk” residents.Background  This study sought to identify a threshold score for obstetrics and gynecology residents' performance on the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) ITE that predicts successful performance on the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) written examination.Objective  We analyzed ITE and ABOG results of 80 residents who completed 4 years of CREOG ITEs at 2 institutions between 2002 and 2012. We assessed the level of performance associated with successful performance on the ABOG written examination.Methods  Data analyzed included scores for 71 of 80 residents (89%), with an overall pass rate of 82%. A postgraduate year (PGY) 4 score of 200 on the CREOG ITE or twice in any of the PGY training years was associated with a 100% ABOG pass rate. Scoring ≥ 205 in any PGY also was associated with a 100% pass rate. Residents who did not attain a score of 200 had a 35% to 45% chance of failing the ABOG written examination, depending on the PGY of the ITE performance.Results  Our findings suggest that a CREOG ITE score of at least 200 twice, or as a PGY-4, offers assurance of successful performance on the ABOG examination. Scores lower than this threshold may be used to identify “at risk” residents for added learning and provide program elements in need of improvement.Conclusions

Abstract A diagnosis of toxic-related injury/illness requires a consideration of the illness related to the toxic exposure, including diagnosis, causation, and permanent impairment; these are best performed by a physician who is certified by a specialty board certified by the American Board of Preventive Medicine. The patient must have a history of symptoms consistent with the exposure and disease at issue. In order to diagnose the presence of a specific disease, the examiner must find subjective complaints that are consistent with the objective findings, and both the subjective complaints and objective findings must be consistent with the disease that is postulated. Exposure to a specific potentially causative agent at a defined concentration level must be documented and must be sufficient to induce a particular pathology in order to establish a diagnosis. Differential diagnoses must be entertained in order to rule out other potential causes, including psychological etiology. Furthermore, the identified exposure at the defined concentration level must be capable of causing the diagnosis being postulated before the examiner can conclude that there has been a cause-and-effect relationship between the exposure and the disease (dose-response relationship). The evaluator's opinion should make biological and epidemiological sense. The treatment plan and prognosis should be consistent with evidence-based medicine, and the rating of impairment must be based on objective findings in involved systems.

Por circunstâncias relacionadas à minha titulação, acabei designado pela Universidade Castelo Branco do Rio de Janeiro (UCB) para avaliar uma parceria proposta pela Escola de Osteopatia de Madri (EOM). À época, em 1997, a EOM propunha que a UCB passasse a organizar academicamente os cursos de osteopatia que a referida Escola já vinha ministrando no Brasil, com vistas a, no futuro, torná-lo um curso de pós-graduação. Algumas viagens à Madri para observar a estrutura acadêmica e pedagógica da sede da EOM, condição imposta pela UCB para concretizar a parceria, me levaram a conhecer esta modalidade terapêutica, com resultados efetivamente comprovados através de trabalhos científicos.Realizadas as adaptações que se faziam necessárias, a UCB aprovou, em 2000, o curso de osteopatia, com uma carga horária de 1050 horas para a titulação de especialização acadêmica, nível Lato Sensu. A resolução do COFITO, que estabelece a osteopatia como uma especialidade da fisioterapia, levou-nos a propor ao CEPE da UCB uma complementação de 450 horas, alcançando, assim, as 1.500 horas, distribuídas ao longo de cinco anos, exigidas pela referida resolução do COFITO. A introdução desta técnica terapêutica no Brasil pela corrente Européia e a pronta intervenção do COFITO foram fatores decisivos para nos brindar com mais uma especialidade. Houvera sido a Osteopatia implantada no Brasil por influência da escola americana, talvez os rumos tomados fossem outros. Senão, vejamos. Nos EUA, a osteopatia é normalmente exercida pelo médico, que deve obter sua permissão através do National Board of Osteopatic Medical Examiners, e está dividida em Sociedades Osteopáticas que se distribuem por todas as modalidades médicas; a saber: Allergy and Immunology, Anesthesiology, Dermatology ,Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurologists and Psychiatrists, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Occupational and Preventive Medicine, Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, Orthopedics Pathology, Pediatrics Proctology, Radiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Rheumatology Sports Surgery Medicine.Com o objetivo de incentivar as linhas de pesquisas na área da osteopatia, estará sendo criado, durante as III Jornadas Hispano-Lusas de Fisioterapia em Terapia Manual (Sevilha-Espanha, 5 de outubro de 2001), o Centro Internacional de Pesquisas em Osteopatia. O referido Centro, dirigido por um fisioterapeuta brasileiro com Doutorado, terá sua sede na Espanha e manterá núcleos, vinculados a Universidades, na Argentina, no Brasil, na Itália, em Portugal e na Venezuela. Esperamos, desta forma, ao lado do reconhecimento profissional já oferecido pela resolução COFITO, dar mais um passo na consolidação acadêmica da nossa mais nova modalidade terapêutica.

Objective: To report a case of Ectopic pregnancy with implant receptorsMaterials and Methods: This article describes the case of a 41-year-old woman, diagnosed with an Ectopic Pregnancy on the gravid G5P4A0H4 11-12 weeks. Patients are using implant contraception, which has been used since 2009-2018 (3 installations). The patient came to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic Dr. M. Djamil Padang. The ultrasound gives the impression of Ectopic pregnancy in the infindibule tube. Analysis Ectopic pregnancy can also occur due to the influence of hormonal contraceptive use (progesterone).Results: Patient gets intervention performed laparotomy After the peritoneum is opened it appears fresh red blood amounting to ± 500 cc filling the abdominal cavity. Blood evacuation and exploration are performed, it appears that the source of bleeding originates from the left tubal rupture (Infundibulum) Impression of the left tubal rupture (Infundibulum) ecectic ectopic pregnancy is impaired. Sinistal salpingectomy is performed.Conclusion: Ectopic pregnancy Ectopic pregnancy is all pregnancies where the ovum fertilized by spermatozoa implant and grows outside the uterine cavity endometrial.
