Scrubs or No Scrubs?
It’s a question more and more physicians are asking–scrubs or no scrubs? Dr. Ashley Trotter and Dr. James Kim share their opinions on the topic. Have We Gotten Too Casual? By Ashley Trotter, MD Dr. Trotter Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I remember physicians standing out not only for their presence and composure but for their professional appearance. In suits, dress pants, blouses, and sharp jackets, I remember my former attendings and colleagues making an entrance. There was no question who the doctor was, or who was in charge of the patient’s care. Out of necessity, with an unknown deadly virus decimating ...

Is The Shocking News of the Sugar Industry's Influence Over Harvard Researchers Really Shocking?
Hey, Sugar, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Today, the Journal of the American Medical Association dropped an alleged bombshell when it disclosed that the sugar industry lobby influenced research on coronary heart disease by effectively bribing Harvard researchers to promote the theory that dietary fat, and not sugar, causes heart disease. The story is trending on Facebook at this very moment, and the JAMA Facebook post states that "Policymaking committees should consider giving less weight to food industry-funded studies, and include mechanistic and animal studies as well as studies appraising the effec...

The impact of a national cardiotocography education program on neonatal and maternal outcomes: a historical cohort study
ConclusionsHealthcare professionals are considered the weakest link of CTG technology. We did not find that increasing healthcare professionals' CTG interpretation skills affected the risk of fetal hypoxia. Missing data for pH values were substantial and is a limitation to the study. We cannot with certainty rule out that missingness has masked a true effect of the intervention. Our study indicates that assisted vaginal deliveries can be decreased without an increased risk of fetal hypoxia. Dilution of effect in a complex clinical setting, rare outcomes, insufficient intervention and a possible over ‐estimation of the im...

The Use of Simulation-Based Education With New Graduate Nurses in Emergency Department and Acute Care Settings: A Scoping Review
Conclusion The literature is scant on the use of simulation in critical care areas with novice graduate nurses. Additional inquiry is needed related to the role of learners, cost, timing, setting, and educational practices. More studies with stronger research designs and valid and reliable measurement instruments are also needed. Finally, there is a need to better understand the effects of simulation on novice nurse graduates' knowledge and skills as well as patient outcomes.
