Aiming for Better Medical Education in Africa
Improving healthcare standards in developing countries does not simply mean enhanced access to medicines. Often medical education systems are not fit for purpose, and inherent problems with infrastructure, communication, and facilities in remote areas, in particular, mean that modernization of medicine is next to impossible. The African Institute for Medical Education (AIM) is a CPA-audited 501 c.3. organization registered in the US in 2014, and its goal is exceptionally admirable – to educate nurses, midwives and other medical professionals by visiting the most remote villages in Uganda by delivering “the most advance...

Weight-Bearing Physical Activity Influences the Effect of Vitamin D on Bone Turnover Markers in Patients with Intellectual Disability.
CONCLUSIONS: Although high-dose vitamin D appeared to suppress osteoclast activity in NWB adults with IDs, the increase in serum CTX levels in those with LWB activity implies activation of osteoclasts that could exacerbate their unique low bone mass and increase fracture risk. The results support the use of a lower-dose vitamin D regimen in this patient group with LWB. PMID: 31375839 [PubMed - in process]

Teaching and learning of medical biochemistry according to clinical realities: A case study
Abstract To foster medical students to become physicians who will be lifelong independent learners and critical thinkers with healthy skepticism and provide high‐quality patient care guided by the best evidence, teaching of evidence‐based medicine (EBM) has become an important component of medical education. Currently, the teaching and learning of biochemistry in medical schools incorporates its medical relevance and applications. However, to our knowledge there have been no reports on integrating EBM with teaching and learning medical biochemistry. Here, we present a case study to illustrate the significance of this a...

Natural compound can be used for 3-D printing of medical implants
Researchers from North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Laser Zentrum Hannover have discovered that a naturally-occurring compound can be incorporated into three-dimensional (3-D) printing processes to create medical implants out of non-toxic polymers. The compound is riboflavin, which is better known as vitamin B2. "This opens the door to a much wider range of biocompatible implant materials, which can be used to develop customized implant designs using 3-D printing technology," says Dr...

Optimizing quality care for the oral vitamin K antagonists (VKAs).
Authors: Pengo V, Denas G Abstract Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have been the only oral anticoagulants for decades. The management of anticoagulant therapy with VKA is challenging because of the intricate pharmacological properties of these agents. The success of VKA therapy depends on the quality of treatment that is ensured through continuing comprehensive communication and education. The educational program should address important issues of the VKA therapy such as beginning of treatment, pharmacological, dietary, and drug-drug interactions, as well as treatment temporary suspension during surgical interventions...

How Nutrition Education for Doctors Is Evolving
Dr. Jaclyn Albin still recalls learning about nutritional biochemistry while she was a student at The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. But by the time she graduated in 2009, nutrition’s relevance to disease states and patient care hadn’t been addressed. “Historically, nutrition education has been mostly rooted in biochemistry, pathology, and physiology with nutrient-focused content,” says Albin, who’s now an internist and pediatrician in Texas. “For example, we would learn about vitamin C and how it impacts various pathways in the body, as well as wh...

Diet in dermatology
The roles of dietary factors in aggravating, preventing, or treating skin diseases are common questions encountered in dermatology practice. Part II of this two-part series reviews dietary modifications that can potentially be utilized in the management of melanoma, chronic urticaria, and psoriasis patients. Specifically, we examine the effect of alcohol consumption and supplementation with vitamins D and E, polyunsaturated fatty acids, selenium, green tea, resveratrol, and lycopene on melanoma risk.

Integrating Nutrition Into a Neurology Course for Osteopathic Medical Students Through Team-Based Learning
Vitamin A is fat-soluble and easy to consume in excess through supplementation; vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in lower-income countries. Medical students have minimal education on nutrition or dietary supplements. We aimed to create and test a nutrition education module for osteopathic medical students to relate practical nutrition knowledge on vitamin A supplementation and deficiency to the preclinical curriculum topic, biochemistry of the eye.
