In doing so, such a framework considers colonial antecedents to the US nation-state which is simultaneously a site of struggle for accommodation of people with disabilities, while also problematizing the state’s centrality as a settler formation in disability analysis. My general claim is that without centering the racial–colonial, a disability analysis risks \npropounding\n the effects of the colonial and its inherent disabling effects. I also seek to attend to the ways that disability—which analytically tracks the distribution of vulnerability across difference—is vital for a comparative racial analysis of dispossession. I want to make it clear that disability analysis benefits greatly from racial analysis and that disability stands to enrich a critique of racism. I avoid positioning disability as a transcendent mode of difference which phases out race by implicitly assuming its parochial status for understanding the body and its differences. Instead, I suggest that attending to the generalized imposition of disablement across communities explicitly engages with the ways that race is a logic that rationalizes, promotes, and politically sanctions disablement as itself the prominent experience of being racialized partly as a function of access to citizenship, freedom of movement in the form of migration, and language sovereignty.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

It is difficult to predict subsequent dysrhythmias from either electrocardiogram (ECG) feature. The combination of both features may better predict the risk of torsades de pointes. We highlight a case of torsades preceded by a bizarre bigeminal rhythm with QTc prolongation likely caused by memantine use and hypokalemia. </p>\n<p><strong>Case Report:</strong> An 84-year-old female presented to the emergency department with a fall. A syncope workup revealed an ECG demonstrating bigeminy with a prolonged QTc interval. Several minutes after obtaining the ECG, the patient went into torsades. She had multiple subsequent cardiac arrests during the rest of her hospital stay. This case report details the importance of recognizing ventricular bigeminy in the context of QTc prolongation as a harbinger of torsades. </p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> While premature ventricular contractions including bigeminy may be a benign finding, when accompanied by prolonged QTc intervals, they warrant immediate investigation and treatment of potential underlying pathology to prevent torsades and subsequent cardiac arrest. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Most training programs are located in cities and lack rural clinical experiences, didactics, and mentorship to excite and prepare residents for rural EM practice. There is limited data on optimal training methods for preparing residents for rural practice. To address this need for rural EM training and workforce, we developed a rural EM curriculum. We began with a two-year case review from critical access emergency departments. Rural EM skills were defined and taught using lectures, simulation cases, and clinical rotations. We obtained quantitative and qualitative feedback from the first ten residents participating in the curriculum. Qualitatively, 10/10 residents gained new skills and found these experiences valuable to their training and career choice, with 100% expressing interest in rural practice and 75% choosing a rural practice. Quantitatively, residents managed a greater variability in patient acuity and volume and performed a greater variety of procedures compared to their academic center rotations, all while gaining unique skills from the challenges of a rural environment. Focused rural emergency medicine clinical experience and didactic training during residency are a promising approach to bridge the gap between urban tertiary care training programs and rural emergency care needs.</p>", "language": null, "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

This study presents data on the long-term persistence of \nI. braminus\n at the first occurrence site in Sicily (Paceco, western Sicily) and new records of the species in this region. Observations in Paceco from 2017 to 2023 suggest the possible survival of a population. Furthermore, individuals attributable to this species were observed in two additional sites, both in urban contexts: the island of Pantelleria (Sicily channel) where two specimens were found in the same site in 2023 and 2024 and Valderice (western Sicily).

When executed properly, RSI is a lifesaving intervention. Nonetheless, RSI may result in fatal complications such as peri-intubation cardiac arrest. The risk of peri-intubation cardiac arrest reportedly increases in patients who are profoundly hypoxic or hypotensive prior to endotracheal intubation. Medication choice for RSI may either optimize or deoptimize hemodynamic parameters, thereby impacting patient outcomes. Therefore, our study aimed to examine the association of change in mean arterial pressure (MAP) with and without the use of a predetermined dose of 50 micrograms (μg) intravenous fentanyl as a pretreatment agent during RSI.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> This prospective observational study included patients undergoing RSI at an academic emergency department (ED) over a three-year period between January 1, 2018–January 1, 2021. Average hemodynamic parameters were measured at the time of induction (prior to medication administration) and 10 minutes after induction. We categorized patients into fentanyl and non-fentanyl groups for analysis, and we compared data using chi-square and t-test as appropriate. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to account for potential confounding factors.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 278 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 160 received fentanyl and 118 did not. The majority of the patients underwent RSI by trainees 95.0% of the time. The first-pass success rate was 77.7% in our sample and did not differ significantly between the two groups (P = 0.84). Unadjusted analysis showed a larger decrease in hemodynamic parameters in the fentanyl group compared to the non-fentanyl group; systolic blood pressure decreased by 11.2% vs 1.6%, diastolic blood pressure decreased by 13.7% vs 3.8%, and MAP decreased by 12.7% vs 3.2%. After adjusting for potential confounders, fentanyl was 2.14 times more likely to lower MAP by 10%.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The use of 50 μg fentanyl for rapid sequence intubation in an ED is associated with higher odds of decreasing mean arterial pressure by at least 10% at 10 minutes from the time of induction. Therefore, it should be carefully dosed, and its use in clinical practice should be justified to avoid unnecessary complications.</p>", "language": null, "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

On the one hand, control and non-control are indeed united in an unbreakable relationship: it would make no sense to exercise some form of control over the world, over oneself, and over others if these areas did not also present something vitally uncontrollable – namely, something contingent, unpredictable, unknown, incalculable. An enhancing interplay between control and non-control is an essential element of any living and vibrant society. However, this relationship seems to be fraying today, and the two poles that constitute it tend to exclude one another, generating phenomena of obsessive control (\"the society of control,\" \"surveillance capitalism,\" etc.) or of (self-)destructive uncontrollability.

Santiago Zabala, ICREA Research Professor at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and one of his former students and collaborators, put it at the center of his obituary of the Italian philosopher in the \nLos Angeles Review of Books\n published on September 19, 2023, the day of Vattimo’s death at age 87. It was part of Vattimo’s particular way of thinking philosophy and the exchange of ideas, and it is very significant that this editorial project, \nThe Vattimo Dictionary\n, began with a series of conversations with Santiago Zabala in various locations, both physical and virtual. One of these locations was the Vattimo Archive, hosted at the Pompeu Fabra University, of which Zabala is the supervisor, inaugurated in 2016 after Vattimo donated his papers, manuscripts, course materials, letters, notes, and photographic material to the Catalan institution. The first international presentation of this volume took place there on November 7, 2023, in the context of a commemoration of the philosopher. The archive certainly played an important role in identifying the key terms for the \nDictionary\n, as well as in gaining access to published and unpublished material that proved essential to the task of writing the introduction. Even more so in my own case, as I could not claim a direct knowledge of the philosopher beyond his publications, contrary to many contributors to the volume, who had known Vattimo as colleagues, former students, friends, or scholars. In fact, I first met Vattimo only in 2018, at the presentation of \nEssere e dintorni \n(\nBeing and its Surroundings\n) at the Circolo dei Lettori in Turin, a book that was largely the outcome of the work of collecting the archival material for Pompeu Fabra University, as Zabala himself confirmed in one of those conversations. Yet it seemed to me that I had known Vattimo more intimately for much longer, so much was he a familiar figure in the Italian cultural panorama, thanks also to his numerous television appearances in cultural programs (often directed by him), of which he was a pioneer through his work for RAI and other networks from the 1950s onward, and through his publications in newspapers and magazines. This willingness to follow different paths for the diffusion of knowledge, which until recently were considered very unorthodox and even openly snubbed by the Italian academic world, paired with his generosity in listening to various interlocutors, seems to me to be one of the most memorable and captivating traits of Gianni Vattimo, who immediately put those who spoke with him at ease—as it was the case with me on that day six years ago.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Much of the research is new. It complements the two-volume life of Montanelli by Sandro Gerbi and Raffaele Liucci (issued as a single volume in 2014 as \nIndro Montanelli: una biografia (1909–2001\n), and Marcello Staglieno’s earlier biography, \nMontanelli\n: \nnovant’anni controcorrente, \nfrom 2001. Montanelli was at times undoubtably a great journalist. The reports he filed from Helsinki on Finland’s 1939–40 Winter War with Russia acquire a bitter topicality today in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s assault on Ukraine (for the first time since 1945 a state-on-state war has come to Europe.) In Montanelli’s Helsinki dispatches it seems that history—the great unforeseen—was repeating itself already from Tsarist times.\nMontanelli was banished to Estonia by the Fascist regime in 1937 as “punishment” for the insufficiently pro-Franco reportage he produced in Civil War Spain. In his Baltic exile he found himself at the crossroads of future East-West antagonisms, for if there is a West Berlin equivalent in today’s so-called “Second Cold War,” it is Estonia, which is vulnerable to Russian attack on NATO’s eastern flank. In his Estonian journalism, Montanelli intuited that Stalin did not think the Soviet Union could survive as an East Slavic superstate and bulwark against German territorial aggression without eastern Poland and the Baltic states subordinate to the USSR. Putin’s own pseudo-Tsarist vision of a Greater Russia one and indivisible—his \nRussky Mir, \n“Russian World”—has its roots in the Hitler-Stalin conflict to which Montanelli bore witness.\n \nThe essay argues that Montanelli was enamored of certain aspects of Italian Fascism to the end of his days, and that his divorce from Mussolini’s regime after 1937 was not as clean as he cared to make out in later years. Montanelli was often attracted to right-wing demagogues and “strong men” of one stripe or another, among them the Norwegian collaborator Vidkun Quisling and Marshal Mannerheim of Finland (both of whom Montanelli was pleased to meet). New light is shed in the essay on Montanelli’s relationship to Estonia’s fiercely anti-Soviet Baltic German community (of which Hitler’s chief race ideologist Alfred Rosenberg claimed to be a part). The historical archives of \nLa Stampa \nand the \nCorriere della Sera—\nthe newspapers for which Montanelli wrote in his Baltic period—have supplied new information on what Estonia and the Estonian people meant to Montanelli.\nThe bibliography on Montanelli is vast. It includes book-length interviews conducted by Italian journalists with Montanelli himself, as well as Montanelli’s own journalistic memoirs (notably \nI cento giorni della Finlandia \n[One Hundred Days of Finland]\n, \npublished in 1940), together with his semi-fictional autobiographies (what we might now call “autofiction”), such as \nQui non riposano \n(Here They Do Not Rest)\n \nfrom 1945. Much of this bibliography has been consulted for the essay. The Italian newspaper archives, however, provided me with the most compelling new information. From them I was able to recreate the details of Montanelli’s movements in the autumn of 1941 in Nazi-conquered Tallinn (which no biography has described). The Estonian state archives yielded previously unseen information on the White Russian source Montanelli used in order to write his extraordinary \nLa Stampa \n“scoop” on Stalin’s purge of the Red Army in 1937.

This is due in part to the fact that the dream of philosophy as a rigorous science has been definitively \nausgeträumt. \nMore specifically, though, it is due to the fact that the theme of myth itself appears to us today in an uncertain light. No satisfactory theory of myth—one that would define its nature and its connection with other forms of relationship to the world—exists in contemporary philosophy. Nevertheless, the term and the concept of myth, even if not carefully defined, have wide currency in our culture today. At least since the appearance of Roland Barthes’s \nMythologies, \nmass culture and its byproducts generally have been analyzed in terms of mythology; and the presence and place of myth in political thought have generally been conceived in terms of the now distant but still important work of Georges Sorel, \nRéflexions sur la\n \nviolence, \nin which myth appears as the sole agent capable of moving the masses to action. Even Claude Lévi-Strauss, who approaches myth from a specialized anthropological point of view, states in \nAnthropologie structurale \nthat “nothing resembles mythic thought today more than political ideology. In contemporary society the latter has in a certain sense replaced the former.”[1] Although Lévi-Strauss cannot be accused of making only vague use of the term “myth,” a claim such as the one made here—that is, that political ideology has replaced mythic thought for us today—depends in the last analysis upon a rather stereotypical understanding of the term. Indeed, in the later \nMythologica, \nwhen Lévi-Strauss applies a more precise and specific concept of myth to the question of its possible survival in the contemporary world, he makes reference instead to music and literature as the elements of experience in which myth—in no matter how faded a form—endures today.\n*This text originally appeared in \nRES: Anthropology and Aesthetic\n no. 9 (Spring 1985): 29–95.

Directed by six feminist filmmakers, the film documents a trial for gang rape and exposes the secondary victimization experienced by women who take their rapists to trial. The encounter between feminism and the new technology of videotape enabled an unprecedented production of film language: in accordance with the idea that the feminist presence in male-dominated spaces would serve to monitor the men in power, the directors produced an observational documentary. Though determined to promote viewers’ autonomous reflection, they also strategically twisted the observational mode to show that reality is never objective and that it must be critically accounted for.\n \nAfter reflecting on the 1970s Italian feminist approach to images, this article addresses the impact of the editing strategies via the visual close readings of certain sequences.

My contribution juxtaposes the story of the violence of the judicial system as narrated in the documentary with another institutional violence, this time perpetrated by the information system which effectively censored the film.

These texts can be grouped in three categories: 1) Fascist-era texts by supporters and opponents that express fear and pride; 2) later texts by march participants that express disappointment in the experience and the outcome of the march; and 3) more recent re-scriptings of the march as farce. The paper focusses particularly on the work performed by the second and third categories. These are not histories in the conventional sense but rather what we might call, with Edward Hallett Carr, “imaginative structures” through which unexpected and unexamined aspects of the past emerge, and in which memory works at once with and against history. Taking as a point of departure the idea that political history changes when we consider subjectivity, and that psychological elements are inextricable from the historical realm, I argue here that we have not fully understood the march until we take into account its experiential or affective qualities, which are most accessible to us through these unconventional sources.

In many ways, this move was standard practice: important images of the city were commonly copied or reprinted, and Tempesta’s original had been reissued multiple times. De’ Rossi’s version of 1662 was more than an incrementally revised restrike, however. In the title, he claimed it to show Tempesta’s prototype “recut, embellished, and enlarged” (rintagliato, abbellito ed accresciutto), and for once this language seems to reflect more than a rhetorical flourish. This essay shows, rather, that it was a meaningful reflection of process—one that leads, in turn, to many new questions. What was the lasting value of Tempesta’s view: what made it worth painstakingly refashioning for the present? Where did resemblance leave off and rupture begin? This essay seeks answers to these questions in interfamilial feuds and in the cut-throat world of Roman publishers as they sought novel ways to hitch their own reputations to that of their city. Among other challenges, they had to balance Rome’s illustrious antiquity with its shape-shifting modernity, and to attract an increasingly international market while catering to their local patrons and protectors. Ultimately, the significance of Tempesta’s image transcends any original author and moment.

The political and cultural amnesia surrounding the significance of September 20th to national unity reflects the unresolved challenges that Prime Minister Camillo Cavour had articulated when advocating for a free Church in a free State in 1861. Declared a national holiday by Francesco Crispi’s government in 1895, Mussolini stripped the date of its status to enhance his own in 1930. Postwar efforts to elevate its official standing have all failed, and the date’s significance has been marginalized across the political spectrum albeit with dissenting voices. Paradoxically, since Vatican II, the Catholic Church has reinterpreted its loss of temporal power as a providential act and, thus, Pope Francis emerged as the leading public celebrant of the sesquicentennial anniversary of September 20th in 2020. This article examines the historical events surrounding Rome’s capture and the subsequent treatment of those events in various understudied materials including those of journalists (e.g., Ugo Pesci, Roberto Stuart), patriotic painters (e.g., Carlo Ademollo’s \nLa breccia di Porta Pia\n, Michele Cammarano’s \nCarica dei bersaglieri alle mura di Roma\n), contemporary photographers (Gioacchino Altobelli, Lodovico Tuminello), encomiastic writers (e.g., Raffaele Cadorna, Edmondo De Amicis), and television/films (e.g., \nLa presa di Roma\n, \nSuperfantozzi\n). This cultural documentation also exposes inconsistencies (e.g., the circumstances surrounding the death of the decorated \nBersagliere\n, Major Giacomo Pagliari) that challenge the hegemonic narrative. The article’s analysis of material representations of September 20th is complemented by a reconstruction of both the political and religious responses to the date’s significance from 1870 to 2023. September 20th speaks to the unresolved issues identified by Cavour, and, hence, its contested interpretation remains relevant to current discussions of Church-State relations in Italy today.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The figure of “mad Tasso,” however, misses key points in the historical poet’s dynamically social literary career, in which Tasso’s immersion in poetic communities prompted novel reflections about history, place, time, and belonging. Rome uniquely served as a catalyst for Tasso’s reflections on these very themes. A new kind of \npatria\n to which to direct the encomiastic voice of his late literary production, Rome became the subject of much of Tasso’s writings in the final three years of his life.

After the initial skirmish between the police and Spaniards took place in late June, the next months witnessed daily street battles between the two sides with the ambassador’s men patrolling the streets that opened out from the Piazza della Trinità dei Monti all the way to the Corso, a huge swath of urban territory.

These works envisioned a dramatic contest at the city’s gates and subsequent carnage within its walls. While the brutality of the historical event matched—or even surpassed—these expectations, contemporaries were dismayed by the weakness of the city’s defense and by the speed with which Rome was taken. This article traces the relationship between earlier compositions, which cast the Sack as catastrophic but inevitable, and the production of historical and poetical texts in the Sack’s aftermath detailing the progression of Charles’s armies across the Italian peninsula and into the streets of Rome. The invasion opened the floodgates to murder, kidnapping, torture, sexual assault (of men and women alike), theft, sacrilege, and destruction for much of the populace during months of occupation, while the curial elite instead largely fled to safety. Comparisons of Rome’s fate to those of biblical sites like Babylon and Jerusalem as well as to “epically” destroyed cities like Troy and Carthage circulated widely, once again making Rome’s fall literary in nature. Figures such as Francesco Guicciardini, Luigi Guicciardini, Pietro Aretino, and Benvenuto Cellini, among others, developed a common language to interpret the imperial march toward Rome and its dire consequences as the product of both providence and poor leadership. Notably, their works also presented the event as a tragic visual spectacle from which their readers could varyingly draw important historical-military lessons, experience awe, and even be pleasurably entertained.

But they also used the idea of Rome to justify anti-Semitic measures on the Italian Peninsula during the late 1930s. In the pages of his political and cultural journal \nCritica Fascista\n, Minister of National Education Giuseppe Bottai used the concept of Rome, primarily the idea that the Fascists were constructing a modern “Third Rome” after the Rome of the Caesars and the Rome of the Popes, to mobilize support for the regime’s infamous “Racial Laws” among the Italian intellectual class. Bottai—who lived all his life in Rome, led a squad division during the 1922 March on Rome, served as Fascist mayor of the city in 1935–36, and was a key exponent of “Roman studies”—united the idea of Rome with Fascist anti-Semitism to sway Mussolini away a biological definition of race and the faction within the regime that supported a close alliance with Germany and an aggressive foreign policy. Instead of achieving his goal, however, he provided the cultural space in his journals \nCritica Fascista\n and \nPrimato\n for young intellectuals and artists to participate in Fascist race propaganda. Inserting the Fascist Racial Laws into pre-existing cultural traditions provided Bottai with justification for his own removal of Jewish professors, teachers, and students from the public school system.

As Garibaldi advanced on the city, a small group of Romans organized a simultaneous uprising in Trastevere but were brutally crushed by the Papal Zouaves. One of the most remembered casualties of this day was Giuditta Tavani Arquati (1830–67), who was killed fighting alongside her husband and child. For many left-wing Italians, Tavani Arquati served as a powerful model of female emancipation and anti-Catholic patriotism in the new nation. Following a brief overview of the connections between nationalism, anti-Catholicism, and women’s emancipation in mid-nineteenth-century Italy, this article examines the various novels, histories, memorials, and processions that drew upon Tavani Arquati’s legacy from the moment of her death until the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of the conquest of Rome in 1895. In doing so, it highlights an often-understudied figure and offers a gendered analysis of anti-Catholic rhetoric. In opposition to the widespread belief that women supported the Catholic Church while men fought for a secular public sphere, Tavani Arquati is a notable example of a woman who fiercely combatted the church and its control over Italian society. The celebrations of Tavani Arquati thus challenge this binary of male secularism and female religiosity and demonstrate how many Italians believed that women, and mothers in particular, could be allies in the battle against the Catholic Church. They also illustrate the intersections of the feminist and anti-Catholic movements, revealing how each group wielded an ideology of motherhood to promote political agendas.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Non l’ho trovata” (I was searching for the great beauty. I never found it). Sorrentino’s entire film, however, disputes Jep’s claim. Once viewers reach this point, they have already spent an hour feasting their eyes on the visual spectacles that Jep’s journalistic vocation and Rome’s nightlife have to offer. While most of these spectacles are just that—shows empty of significance, magic that is “solo un trucco” (only a trick)—other moments, often the most banal, become marvels, creating a transformative experience for the protagonist and other characters, Romans and tourists alike. In so doing, Sorrentino taps into the great tradition of Rome’s constant search for beauty and artistic creation that go beyond human abilities, a quest that found expression in both ancient poets and Renaissance authors. Indeed, Sorrentino’s oneiric digressions and depictions of transformation evoke the imagery and language of Ovid’s \nMetamorphoses\n, whose many characters equally find themselves transformed and transported when confronted by visions of the divine. Similarly, Jep’s multiple encounters with scenes that themselves are the intersection of art and the ineffable, recall Vasari’s ekphrastic language in his \nLives\n, specifically those moments in which the artistic creations of his illustrious \nartefici \nreach the sublime.\nIt is the purpose of this paper to examine Sorrentino’s film \nLa grande bellezza\n and its visual discourse on the gaze, spectacle, and transformation, by putting the film in dialogue with Ovid’s \nMetamorphoses\n and Vasari’s \nLives\n. Of the countless authors who have treated this subject during Rome’s (and Italy’s) illustrious history, these two in particular put the same emphasis on artists or creators as heroes, underscoring man’s ability to surpass nature and rival the divine in his creative process. Both authors, however, offer different perspectives on art and the gaze that Sorrentino echoes within the film.

It is a symbolic precinct, and a palimpsest of toponyms, extant or remembered, connected with Augustus, Constantine, Pope Leo X Medici, and Mussolini. Drawing on new material from private archives, this article traces the interwar development of this zone, revealing an unknown story of the synergy among several projects: the restoration of Villa Madama (Raphael’s villa and papal welcoming center for the Medici), the coeval construction of the neighboring Foro Mussolini, and the siting nearby of the Palazzo Littorio (conceived as the Fascist Party Headquarters but subsequently realized as the Foreign Ministry). Fascist planners conceived this forum as a new gateway to Rome, and a staging ground for Fascist ideology and mass spectacle. It emerges that Raphael’s villa was a significant node of the plans; its site, form, function, and symbolism were tied to the forum, which grew to englobe the villa and the Ministry palace within a verdant park. Moreover, the appropriation of the so-called Renaissance garden as an emblem of \nitalianità \nprovided the context for both the re-creation of the villa’s gardens and the design of Mussolini’s forum—itself presented as an Italian garden, an unexplored instance of the mythologizing and manipulation of Renaissance heritage by Fascist ideologues establishing the Third Rome.\nThe development of this zone constitutes a kaleidoscopic case study for the construction of political and cultural identity through urban design and landscape. Dismembered and partially neutralized post-war, the area currently represents a challenging entanglement of memory, heritage, politics, and aesthetics. And though the function and meaning of a city gateway have fundamentally changed over time, the long history of this topography—both real and metaphysical—is ingrained in the identity of modern Rome.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

For example, a qualitative analysis conducted in 2022 discovered a significant range in emergency medicine (EM) physician perception of snake antivenom use and level of comfort, noting that experiences with its use ranged from hundreds of cases treated to purely didactic understanding.2 Such discrepancies necessitate supplemental education and activities to bridge the knowledge gap. Ideally, these activities would utilize tenets of experiential learning to allow learner processing comparable to that of clinical experience.3 Flipped classroom and audience participation promote engagement and active learning when compared to the passive learning of lectures.4 In that vein, there is a growing body of gamified resources in medical education which utilize pattern recognition and problem solving skills that can be analogous to clinical practice.5,6\nEducational Objectives: By the end of this activity, learners will be able to: 1) identify and name species responsible for bite/sting/envenomation injuries, 2) recognize associated signs, symptoms, physical exam findings and complications associated with bites/stings/envenomations by certain species, 3) discuss management such as antibiotics, antivenom, and supportive care.\nEducational Methods: We designed a small group activity asking residents to identify, research, and present the “culprits” implicated in environmental exposures to animals and insects, and match them to corresponding clinical scenarios.\nResearch Methods: Participants anonymously answered electronic multiple-choice quizzes before and after completing the activity to gauge its effectiveness in conveying the material. They also completed an \nadditional anonymous, electronic survey regarding their attitudes towards this activity and the possibility of other gamified didactics within the curriculum.\nResults: Each resident class showed an upward trend in their average multiple-choice score, the greatest of which was seen in the post-graduate year (PGY) 1 class. The residency demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in their ability to answer multiple choice questions (MCQs), with an average pre- activity score of 67.14%, and post-activity score of 87.14%. Participants showed determination and enthusiasm to engage with the material when presented in a gamified format, and 100% of post-activity survey respondents wanted to participate in further gamified activities.\nDiscussion: Gamified small group activities are a fun and effective method of supplementing residency and medical student education for both common and esoteric clinical presentations that they may not encounter in the clinical environment.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Emergency Medicine (EM) trainees of all post-graduate levels are the target audience. This may also be used by trainees in other specialties, such as infectious disease or internal medicine, who require an understanding of HIV and its complications. This escape room can be completed in teams of varying sizes and is designed to be adaptable to local resource availability.\nBackground: Patients with HIV present to the Emergency Department (ED) for a variety of reasons such as initial viral syndrome, medication side effects, and opportunistic infections. While the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly increased the life expectancy of patients living with HIV and decreased the incidence of classical opportunistic infections, EM providers should still be vigilant and competent in diagnosing and managing these pathologies. This is particularly critical in India, where the prevalence of HIV was most recently estimated at 0.22% (2.2 million people older than 15 years) in 2020.1 This patient population, primarily infected through unprotected heterosexual contact, is at high risk for interruptions in ART and development of opportunistic infections for a variety of reasons including migration for work, low social status of women, and significant social stigma against HIV.2 Simulation is an educational opportunity to review these high-acuity low-occurrence presentations to prepare EM trainees for independent practice.\nEducational Objectives: By the end of the escape room, learners should be able to: 1) describe the mechanism of action of antiretroviral therapies available in India, 2) prescribe initial antiretroviral therapy to \na patient presenting to the emergency department with a new diagnosis of HIV, 3) develop a differential diagnosis for a patient with HIV presenting to the ED with chest pain, 4) identify common dermatologic manifestations of opportunistic infections in patients with HIV, 5) identify computerized tomography scan and lumbar puncture features for central nervous system infections seen in patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), 6) identify red flag features and appropriate workup for a patient with HIV presenting with a headache to the ED, 7) interpret images obtained during a Rapid Ultrasound for Shock and Hemorrhage (RUSH) exam, 8) identify cardiac tamponade and perform a pericardiocentesis, and 9) communicate and collaborate as a team to manage a complex, unstable patient with HIV in the ED.\nEducational Methods: We sought to create and implement an educational tool that could meet the complex education needs of EM trainees while being low cost, easily adapted to local resources, and engaging for trainees. Hospitals participating in the Masters in Emergency Medicine (MEM) program, a global partnership between the Ronald Reagan Institute for Emergency Medicine at the George Washington University and 18 hospitals in India, have resource variability for traditional simulation. The escape room created combines simulation, content review specific to the contextual practice of EM in India focused on HIV and its complications, and critical procedure teaching on pericardiocentesis. This innovation framework is based on Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and incorporates the gamification principles of a sense of autonomy, perception of competitiveness, and learner-relatedness.3-4 Escape rooms have been shown to engage learners, and low-fidelity procedure models could further maximize the experience for learners in resource variable settings.5 A pericardiocentesis model was adapted from Lord et al.’s low-fidelity model, ensuring it could be assembled with materials readily available in-country.6\nResearch Methods: We adapted the escape room format to combine simulation, content review, and procedural training in a cost-effective, contextually relevant, and scalable way. The escape room was trialed using a case of chest pain and altered mental status caused by a pericardial effusion due to tuberculosis in a patient with HIV. Local practice patterns and guidelines were used to develop puzzles and clinical clues. A pericardiocentesis model was constructed using materials readily available in India. Pre- and post-surveys were developed to assess baseline trainee experience with escape rooms, self-reported knowledge of the differential diagnosis and management for altered mental status, and ways to incorporate escape room content into daily practice.\nResults: A total of 47 trainees participated; 41 of 47 participants completed both pre- and post-surveys (87% response rate). Participants represented all program trainee levels: 49% (n = 20) PGY-1, 27% (n = 11) PGY-2, and 24% (n = 10) PGY-3. Based on a score greater than seven on a 1-10 Likert scale, the escape room was rated as “highly effective” by 93.5% of respondents in reviewing medical knowledge. The trainees were allotted 60 minutes to escape the room; the median time for escape room completion was 57 minutes. The escape room and pericardiocentesis model cost under $100 USD, were repeated up to six times in one day, and could be recycled for future use.\nDiscussion: Utilizing simulation in the escape room format that can be adaptable to variable resource settings is a valuable educational tool. The integrated escape room and procedure training proved to be an effective educational tool that was scalable and maintained efficacy across variable hospital resource levels.

This simulation curriculum may also be utilized for senior medical students conducting EM rotations.\nBackground: Ophthalmologic education represents only a small portion of medical school curriculums and continues to decrease over time, leaving physicians poorly equipped to diagnose and manage eye complaints.1 Of emergency physicians (EPs) surveyed, 72.5% felt that they could diagnose orbital compartment syndrome (OCS), yet only 40.3% felt comfortable performing a necessary lateral canthotomy and cantholysis (LCC).2 These survey results demonstrate the urgent need for improved ophthalmology education in EM residency to help us diagnose and manage potentially vision-threatening pathology.\nEducational Objectives: By the end of this simulation, learners will be able to: 1) demonstrate the major components and a systematic approach to the emergency ophthalmologic examination, 2) develop a differential diagnosis of sight-threatening etiologies that could cause eye pain or vision loss, 3) demonstrate proficiency in performing potentially vision-saving procedures within the scope of EM practice.\nEducational Methods: Low-fidelity simulation was conducted using a novel model adapted from that used by Phillips et al. during their ophthalmology day in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Vanderbilt University.3 The simulation case was developed by an interdepartmental team of ophthalmologists and EPs at our institution.\nResearch Objectives: To evaluate for statistically significant changes in self-efficacy, knowledge, and performance after an educational intervention. Our primary outcome was defined as a checklist-based performance on a simulated case of orbital compartment syndrome necessitating LCC.\nResearch Methods: We conducted a single-center prospective pre- and post-interventional study evaluating the impact of an educational intervention on EM resident management of a simulated case of OCS. Our two- part study intervention consisted of a lecture on OCS followed by a four and a half hour ophthalmology education day (OED). Residents were evaluated using self-efficacy scales (SES), multiple-choice questions (MCQ), and a performance checklist (developed via a modified Delphi process) at three timepoints: Pre- intervention, immediate post-intervention, and three months post-intervention. Post-graduate year (PGY)-1 through PGY-4 EM residents at an Urban Level 1 Trauma Center participated.\nResults: Initial recruitment consisted of 18 residents (PGY-1 through PGY-4), and 16 residents (PGY-1 through PGY-3) completed the study. Nine residents participated in the OED and seven residents did not. There were no pre-existing differences in median checklist-based performance, MCQ, or SES scores prior to the intervention. At three months post-OED, the OED attendees scored statistically significantly higher on checklist-based performance than non-attendees (lecture only).\nDiscussion: Ophthalmology education in physician training is limited, and EP comfort with performing vision- saving procedures is poor.

Traditional resident education has been in the form of didactic lectures such as morning report, noon conference, and Grand Rounds as well as small group bedside teaching by attendings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in many cases these learning structures have been reengineered into a hybrid or virtual model.3 This new educational paradigm has spurred the search for best practice teaching methods across a variety of situations. 4 Active teaching, characterized by audience engagement and self-directed learning, has been shown to promote deeper understanding and improved knowledge retention when compared to standard didactic teaching.5,6\nEducational curricula for residents now acknowledge the importance of audience participation, with more emphasis on the use of interactive teaching techniques. A review of residents-as-teachers curricula highlighted the importance of disseminating practical resources for how to effectively teach residents to be better educators.7 However, in the literature there are few examples of how to teach residents to implement these best practice interactive teaching methods. We designed a simple, interactive, and easily reproducible workshop for introducing the concepts of active teaching to residents that allows for active engagement with these techniques.\nEducational Objectives: By the end of this small group exercise, learners will be able to: 1) assess interactive teaching techniques that support learning in various environments; 2) incorporate active teaching techniques into a variety of real-world teaching scenarios; 3) implement selected techniques to enrich one’s own teaching practice.\nEducational Methods: Our workshop was designed to include elements of gamification, which facilitates teamwork and competition and can be used to engage learners in higher levels of learning.8 We began by performing a literature search for descriptions of active teaching techniques that had been used in the medical setting.9-14 We developed a list of 15 popular active teaching strategies and created a one-page menu which briefly described each strategy. Utilizing the flipped classroom model, we identified three articles (references 10, 11, and 14) which reviewed active teaching techniques and sent these articles to our participants via email one week before our session with instructions to read the articles and come prepared to discuss them at our session. We created two sets of playing cards for our activity. The first set of playing cards was titled “teaching setting” and included common venues for teaching in clinical medicine: morning report, grand rounds warm-up (which at our institution consists of a 15-minute lecture given to a large audience in a formal setting), small group, bedside teaching, journal club, and an online/virtual lecture. The second set of playing cards included simulated audiences that could be present at a teaching session: peers (residents), medical students, attendings, or mixed audience. To account for larger groups of residents, we made multiple copies of each card within the respective card set.\nAt the beginning of the workshop, the learning objectives were discussed and the menu with the 15 active teaching techniques was reviewed along with the assigned pre-reading articles. Residents were asked to name different active teaching techniques and give examples they experienced during their residency or medical school education. Participants (pediatric and medicine-pediatric residents) were then placed in groups of three or four, and each group drew one teaching setting card and one audience card. All groups were given the same general topic (diabetic ketoacidosis) and each group was challenged to design a short teaching activity relevant to the topic that incorporated active teaching techniques appropriate for their setting and audience. After a short period of planning, each group reported how they would teach the topic and which active teaching strategies they would use. After each group described their approach, they received peer feedback from the other groups’ participants. Key aspects of the proposed active teaching techniques and any barriers to implementation were discussed. The cards were then reshuffled for each group, and the exercise was repeated with a different general topic (in our session, we chose developmental milestones).\nResearch Methods: Participants provided anonymous feedback in the form of surveys which assessed the efficacy of the workshop. Participants were also asked to commit to three active teaching techniques they would incorporate into teaching sessions within the next six months.\nResults: Our workshop was presented for two sequential years: 2022 and 2023. Our workshop was attended by 32 residents in year one and 36 residents in year two. All participants filled out the anonymous evaluation survey at the conclusion of the exercise. Eighty-five percent of respondents rated the session as “highly organized,” and a majority strongly agreed that the workshop was effective for learning active teaching techniques (78%) and taught them concrete techniques that they could incorporate into their future teaching (88%). Participants reported that they were most likely to utilize Jigsaw (31 respondents), Polling/audience \nresponse (29 respondents), case-based learning (25 respondents), role play (24 respondents) and small group activities (20 respondents) into their next teaching session. In our second workshop, there were 19 participants who had also attended the first workshop. All 19 of these residents reported using at least one active teaching technique during the previous year, and over half reported using at least three of the techniques.\nDiscussion: Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with the organization and efficacy of this workshop. The strategies of using sets of cards to randomize the process, adding time constraints, and having each group report their teaching plans increased overall participant interest and excitement in the workshop. Having all groups design teaching sessions using the same general topic was chosen intentionally to promote friendly competition and to allow for discussion among the groups about similarities and differences in the application of their chosen active teaching techniques. To apply our activity to other specialties, we recommend choosing general topics that are commonly encountered in that specialty; for example, the topic of “myocardial infarction” or “pediatric toxidromes” could be used for emergency medicine residents.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Compared with resource-rich systems, many low-resource settings (i.e., LMICs) rely on generalists to provide most pediatric acute care. We created a curriculum for general practitioners comprising multiple educational modules focused on identifying and stabilizing pediatric emergencies. Our aim was to develop an educational framework to update and teach generalists on the recommendations and techniques of optimally evaluating and managing pediatric nutritional and gastrointestinal emergencies: bowel obstructions, gastroenteritis, and malnutrition.\nEducational Goals: The aim of this curriculum is to increase learners’ proficiency in identifying and stabilizing acutely ill pediatric patients with gastrointestinal medical or surgical disease or complications of malnutrition. This module focuses on the diagnosis and management of gastroenteritis, acute bowel \nobstruction, and deficiencies of feeding and nutrition. The target audience for this curriculum is generalist physicians and nurses in limited-resource settings.\nEducational Methods: The educational strategies used in this curriculum include didactic lectures, medical simulation, and small-group sessions.\nResearch Methods: We evaluated written pretests before and posttests after intervention and retested participants four months later to evaluate for knowledge retention. Participants provided qualitative feedback on the module.\nResults: We taught 21 providers. Eleven providers completed the pretest/posttest and eight completed the retest.

Simulation has been shown to improve learner self- efficacy, confidence, and leadership skills among resuscitation teams.4,5 The role of simulation also helps learners identify latent safety threats, in this case a power outage.6 The goal of this simulation is to improve the skills of healthcare professionals with regards to managing cardiac arrest and to encourage these practitioners to consider their own hospital guidelines in response to a power outage.\nEducational Objectives: By the end of this simulation, learners will be able to (1) evaluate and treat a patient experiencing myocardial infarction and subsequent cardiac arrest during a power outage, (2) describe the local protocols for managing patient care during a power outage, (3) demonstrate the ability to coordinate a medical team during a simulated power outage in an emergency department with limited resources, (4) manage a cardiac arrest patient by following Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) protocols for bradycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and (5) justify the urgency of transfer to a certified ST segment elevation myocardial infarction center/cardiac intensive care unit, referencing the recommended 120-minute door-to- balloon time.\nEducational Methods: This simulation was conducted with a high-fidelity mannequin. A total of six residents of various post-graduate year (PGY) levels participated in the simulated patient encounter as part of the simulation competition at the Western Regional meeting of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine.\nResearch Methods: This case was assessed for educational content and piloted by emergency medicine attendings from several institutions prior to running the case for the Western Regional meeting. The efficacy of the content was assessed by oral feedback.\nResults: The case was well-received by both the attending physicians who evaluated the case prior to running the scenario at the Western Regional meeting and the emergency medicine residents who participated in the case at the Western Regional meeting.\nDiscussion: Overall, this simulation was well received by both the learners and the debriefers. General feedback was positive, with the perception of increased confidence among learners and reflection upon individual hospital policy in the event of a power outage.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Emergency physicians (EP) often lack formal training and knowledge about caring for TIN patients, while comparatively less evidence is available for other healthcare professionals, including emergency nurses (EN). Therefore, our goal in this study was to explore the experiences, knowledge, and attitudes as well as education/training needs of both ENs and EPs in Germany regarding the care of TIN patients.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> In February 2023, we electronically surveyed EPs and ENs from emergency departments (ED) across Germany. The survey, developed through literature review and collaboration with experts and members of the TIN community, consisted of 15 closed-ended items divided into three sections: experiences and knowledge; attitudes; and education/training needs. We used standard descriptive statistics and tested for group differences using the chi-square test.</p>\n<p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the approximately 1,665 EPs and ENs contacted, 502 completed the survey and were eligible for further analysis (30% response rate). Of the respondents, 233 (46%) were EPs and 269 (54%) were ENs, with ENs being significantly younger and with fewer years in practice. More than half reported experience caring for TIN patients (71% of ENs vs 61% of EPs; P = 0.002), but there were significant gaps in medical and non-medical knowledge. Attitudes toward TIN patients were generally positive, but differences in communication approaches were noted, with ENs significantly more likely than EPs to limit their communication with TIN patients to what was necessary (25% of ENs vs 17% of EPs; P = 0.006). Most respondents (55% of ENs and 58% of EPs) had no training in the management of TIN patients, with only 8% of EPs and 17% of ENs having received such training during their medical/nursing school education (P = 0.01). Both groups agreed that there is an urgent need to increase awareness of emergency medical care for TIN patients among ED staff.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Both emergency physicians and nurses in Germany demonstrated deficits in knowledge of and clinical preparedness to care for patients in the ED who identify as transgender, intersexual and non-binary, indicating a clear need for enhanced education, training, and institutional support to improve emergency care for this vulnerable patient population.

The ineluctable transition to technology might suggest this question has already been answered. However, the technology divide in L2 assessments may have indeed widened since the pandemic: whereas some teachers have fully embraced technology in assessments as in instruction, others are reluctant to eliminate paper, owing to concerns about the reliability, integrity and authenticity of L2 production on computer. This article shares observations from several French classes at an American high school in which assessments that were otherwise identical were offered to students on both paper and computer. These observations revealed several overlapping areas of L2 research that merit further consideration, including instructor bias between media, academic integrity of student work, and the need to align the technological literacies between instructors and students. The reflection that follows points to specific directions for further empirical research on the effects of input medium on L2 learners in K-12 and higher education.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

One rare complication of PEG placement is the formation of a gastrocolocutaneous fistula that develops when bowel is caught between the stomach and abdominal wall during placement. This report explores an elderly patient's gastrocolocutaneous fistula development months post-PEG placement who presented with malodorous leakage from the gastrostomy tube to the Emergency Department (ED).</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Case Report</p>\n<p>A 73-year-old male on hospice presented to the ED with malodorous leakage from his PEG tube. He had received the PEG tube four months prior to this presentation and had it replaced once at an outside hospital due to blockages. In the ED, his PEG tube was found to have a deflated balloon stopper. The PEG tube was replaced, but the feculent discharge persisted. Imaging showed the tube's position in the transverse colon. The patient underwent non-surgical management, with PEG tube removal and nutritional support via nasogastric tube. He was discharged with improvement of PEG site. </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Conclusion</p>\n<p>Gastrocolocutaneous fistula should be considered in patients experiencing unexpected PEG tube drainage or feeding-related complications such as diarrhea. Careful replacement techniques after dislodgement or blockage are important. Radiologic confirmation should be considered after replacement of tubes with feculent drainage. The rarity of gastrocolocutaneous fistula cases in literature explains the lack of standardized management approaches. Clinical signs such as feculent leakage through PEG tube site should prompt recognition and diagnosis by the ED clinician. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The total number of species-group taxa includes 44 taxa currently considered endemic to Italy, 12 subendemic, 13 introduced and 10 cryptogenic. The distribution of Italian Heteroptera in the new checklist is based on the subdivision of Italy in two macro-regions, Continental Italy and Peninsular Italy, and two major islands, Sicily and Sardinia. Compared to the previous Checklist by Faraci & Rizzotti Vlach, published in 1995, the new one contains nomenclatural changes, additions and exclusions of species based on the perusal of 220 literature sources. The main changes concern the families Miridae (21 synonymies, 26 exclusions and 34 additions), Rhyparochromidae (15 exclusions and 14 additions) and Pentatomidae (13 exclusions and 5 additions).

Since there have been no available studies in the United States reaffirming the prevalence of <em>Clostridium tetani</em> (<em>C tetani</em>) since 1926, we sought to identify its prevalence in a major urban county in the US.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We sampled soil, rusted metal, concrete, and dog feces to determine the prevalence of <em>C tetani</em> in a single metropolitan county in the United States. Soil samples and swabs were collected from four locations: the soil of a public park and an elementary school; dog feces from a single public dog park; and rusted surfaces (metal and concrete) in common student areas of a university campus. The presence of <em>C tetani</em> in each sample was determined using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> In total, 200 samples were collected, of which 37 (18.5%) tested positive for <em>C tetani</em> DNA. Among the 140 samples taken from the soil, just one (0.7%) tested positive for <em>C tetani</em> DNA. Of the 40 samples of rusted metal and concrete surfaces, 30 (75%) tested positive for <em>C tetani</em>, and six (30%) of the 20 samples from dog feces tested positive for <em>C tetani</em>.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> We found that <em>C tetani</em> is frequently present on rusted metal and concrete surfaces but rarely in soil samples. Minor wounds contaminated with soil may be considered low risk for tetanus. However, future studies should assess the burden of <em>C tetani</em> in other similar urban, suburban, and rural environments to help determine the threat of <em>C tetani</em> more exactly.</p>", "language": null, "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The effect of resource allocation on emergency department length of stay (ED-LOS) of trauma patients has remained under-investigated. As ED crowding has become more prevalent, especially at quaternary care centers, an evaluation of the potential disparities in ED-LOS between Level I and Level II trauma centers is warranted. We hypothesized a longer ED-LOS at Level I centers compared to Level II centers.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods: </strong>We queried the 2017–2021 Trauma Quality Improvement Process (TQIP) database for trauma patients ≥18 years of age presenting to either a Level-I or -II center. The TQIP defines ED-LOS as the time from arrival until the time an ED disposition (admission or discharge) order is written. We excluded transferred patients and those with missing data regarding ACS trauma center verification level. We performed bivariate analyses, as well as subgroup analyses based on location of disposition.</p>\n<p><strong>Results: </strong>Of 2,225,067 trauma patients, 59.3% (1,318,497) received treatment at Level I centers. No significant differences were found in Injury Severity Scores between patients admitted to the operating room or non-intensive care unit (ICU) locations, or discharged home from Level-I and -II centers (all P < 0.05). The ED-LOS for trauma patients was longer at Level-I centers for all patient categories: overall (198 vs 145 minutes [min], P < 0.001), discharged home (286 vs 160 min, P < 0.001), non-ICU admissions (234 vs 164 min, P < 0.001), and those requiring surgery (126 vs 101 min, P < 0.001).</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Even when treating patients with similar injury severity, trauma patients at Level I trauma centers had longer ED-LOS compared to Level II centers, irrespective of the patients’ final disposition (surgery, non-ICU admission, or discharge). To optimize resource utilization and alleviate ED saturation, further research must delve into the underlying causes of these discrepancies to identify best practices and solutions.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

However, uptake has been insufficient, and stark racial disparities exist in both HIV acquisition and PrEP usage, making PrEP access a health equity issue. A promising venue to engage high-risk populations in PrEP care is the emergency department (ED); however, existing ED PrEP initiatives have been costly or have had limited success. We hypothesize that two strategies could overcome these barriers: prescribing PrEP during an ED visit and providing patients with an initial supply of PrEP medication in the ED. Here, we describe the results of a qualitative study exploring multidisciplinary emergency clinicians and HIV clinicians’ needs and views about the feasibility of such an initiative.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with multidisciplinary clinicians from an urban, safety-net medical center in the ED and the on-site HIV clinic that provides PrEP services.We performed thematic analysis to summarize challenges and potential solutions described by participants.</p>\n<p><strong>Results: </strong>Participants’ responses fell into three thematic categories: operational challenges; patient-level considerations; and potential impacts. Operational challenges highlighted the difficulty of PrEP initiation in a busy ED and clinician support needs.

Finally, participants anticipated that an ED-based PrEP initiation program could positively impact both individual patients and public health.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Interviews with emergency department and HIV clinic staff revealed important considerations and potential solutions for ED-initiated PrEP workflows.

Many emergency medicine (EM) programs halted in-person simulation and trialed telesimulation, but specifics on its utilization and plans for future use are unknown. Telesimulation has been defined as “a process by which telecommunication and simulation resources are utilized to provide education, training, and/or assessment to learners at an off-site location.” Our objective in this study was to describe the patterns of telesimulation usage in EM residency programs during COVID-19-induced learning restrictions as well as its anticipated future utility.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We identified EM simulation leaders via the EMRA Match website, institutional websites, or personal contact with residency coordinators and directors, and invited them to participate by email. Participants completed a confidential, web-based survey consisting of multiple-choice items and one free-response question, developed by our study team with consideration of survey research best practices and Messick’s validity framework. We collected data between January–February 2022. We calculated descriptive statistics for multiple-choice items and examined the free-response answers for common themes.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> We obtained contact information for simulation leaders at 139 EM residency programs. Survey response rate was 65% (91/139). During in-person restrictions, 62% (56/91) of programs used telesimulation. Assuming all restrictions lifted, 38% (34/90) of respondents planned to continue to use telesimulation, compared to 9% (8/91) using telesimulation before COVID-19. Most respondents planned to use telesimulation for medical knowledge (26/34, 76%) and communication/teamwork-focused cases (23/34, 68%). In response to the free-response question regarding experience with and plans for use, we identified three major themes: 1) telesimulation is a valuable alternative to in-person learning; 2) telesimulation is an option for learners unable to participate in person; and 3) telesimulation is challenging for procedural education.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Despite the relatively limited use of telesimulation in EM residencies prior to COVID-19, an increased number of programs have plans to continue incorporating telesimulation into their curricula. This plan for continued use opens opportunities for further innovation and scholarship within simulation education. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
