    Forbes, Karen L / Foulds, Jessica L

    2023  Volume 23, Issue 7, Page(s) 1459–1464

    Abstract Background: Clinical reasoning skills are essential to medical practice. The problem lies in assuming junior medical students with limited experience develop clinical reasoning and decision-making skills passively and solely through clinical exposure. To prepare learners for independent practice and care for future patients, explicit teaching and assessment of clinical reasoning in low-stakes, collaborative learning environments are needed.
    Methods: The key-feature question (KFQs) format is an assessment approach that focuses on the reasoning and decision-making aspects of medical problems rather than knowledge recall. This report describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a team-based learning (TBL) approach using KFQs to foster clinical reasoning in the third-year pediatric clerkship at our institution.
    Results: Over the first 2 years of implementation (2017-18, 2018-19), 278 students participated in TBL sessions. Mean individual student scores significantly improved in the group setting for both academic years (P < .001). Individual scores were moderately positively correlated with their total summative Objective Structured Clinical Examination score (r[275] = 0.51; P < .001). The correlation between individual score and their multiple-choice question examination was weaker at 0.29 (P < .001) but remained positive.
    Conclusions: A TBL session using KFQs to both teach and assess clinical reasoning in clerkship students may help educators identify students with gaps in knowledge and/or reasoning. The next steps include developing and implementing individualized coaching opportunities, and expanding this approach within the undergraduate medical curriculum. Outcome measures to assess clinical reasoning in authentic patient encounters require further research and development.

    Abstract Background and aims: Whether miracles are seen as a source of conflict between healthcare teams and families, a foolish or even harmful belief, or a hindrance to system-wide improvements and scientific inquiry, miracles within medicine have long been questioned. We were interested in the perspectives of pediatricians on miracles and how that has informed their care of patients. We also sought to explore the intersection and relationship between the medical sciences, faith, and how we view miracles.
    Methods: Using narrative inquiry as a research methodology, we had conversations and explored the experiences of physicians who work directly within pediatric clinical care. We used purposeful sampling by emailing several pediatricians whom we felt might have been interested in the project and may have had experiences with perceived medical miracles. All conversations were conducted over Zoom and recorded.
    Results: We conducted one to three conversations with each participant. During our analysis, we identified two threads. First, participants described
    Conclusions: The stories that our participants told not only informed their past experiences and how they remembered them but also their present and future experiences. Exploring the topic of medical miracles allowed us to better understand the social discourses that shape our perceptions of miracles, death, and the role of the physician. These stories offer us hope and possibility in a time when we as a medical community may have lost our sense of wonder and the ability to notice miracles.

    Abstract A labelling of a graph is an assignment of labels to its vertex or edge sets (or both), subject to certain conditions, a well established concept. A labelling of a graph G of order n is termed a numbering when the set of integers {1,.,n} is used to label the vertices of G distinctly. A 2-path (a path with three vertices) in a vertex-numbered graph is said to be valid if the number of its middle vertex is smaller than the numbers of its endpoints. The problem of finding a vertex numbering of a given graph that optimises the number of induced valid 2-paths is studied, which is conjectured to be in the NP-hard class. The reported results for several graph classes show that apparently there are not one or more numbering patterns applicable to different classes of graphs, which requires the development of a specific numbering for each graph class under study.

    Abstract Safeguarding is about the protection of the most vulnerable people in our society. This article presents a case history of the author's experience of a patient with a colostomy and high-output abdominal fistula, who was involved in a safeguarding alert. It explores the roles and responsibilities of nurses, regardless of specialty, to increase their awareness, understanding and knowledge of safeguarding, and the processes in place to protect the most vulnerable people they care for.

    Abstract Objectives: Febrile neutropenia (FN) creates concern in paediatrics due to the risk of serious bacterial infections (SBI). Protocols with empiric antibiotics designed for hematology and oncology are often applied in healthy children with FN despite lower rates of SBI in this population. This study quantifies rates of infections in presumed immunocompetent children hospitalized with suspected viral illnesses and FN.
    Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of healthy children admitted to the Stollery Children's Hospital between 2007 and 2017 with fever, absolute neutrophil counts < 0.5 × 109/L, and viral symptoms. Primary outcomes were the incidence of SBI and bacterial pneumonia.
    Results: Of 383 encounters reviewed, 96 admissions for 82 patients met inclusion criteria. Eighty-eight encounters (91.7%) were managed with empiric antibiotics. Viruses were identified in 42% of encounters. Three blood cultures were positive for coagulase-negative
    Conclusion: Our results support previous findings of low rates of invasive bacterial infections in healthy children with FN. With an SBI rate of 3.1% and few patients found to have any pathologic etiology for their neutropenia, prospective studies would be valuable to evaluate the need for a practice change regarding antibiotic use in low-risk patients with suspected viral-induced neutropenia.
