    Abstract This unique, socially conscience reference provides valuable guidance to international medical graduates (IMG’s) looking to complete a residency in the United States. The medical residency application process in the United States is competitive and complex. Additionally, many IMG’s go through training programs that sharply differ from the medical school training and the sociocultural elements of United States medicine and residency are unlike any other country. Organized into three parts, this book meets the need for a pragmatic, evidence based guide that answers important questions, and imparts indispensable advice to IMGs. Part I directly tackles the concerns IMG’s have regarding specific elements of residency applications, including the importance of a master’s degree and how to get a strong letter of recommendation. Part II then addresses how to prepare for interviews, preliminary programs and travel. Finally, the book answers the common “what ifs” and “what’s next” questions many IMG’s ponder. International Medical Graduate and the United States Medical Residency Application: A Guide to Achieving Success is a first-of-its-kind resource that presents a holistic view of residency application peppered with real life examples, easy to grasp tables and flow charts and key do’s and don’ts to drive home the complex process involved in residency application.

    Abstract Diagnostic errors are mistakes in the diagnostic process that lead to a misdiagnosis, a missed diagnosis, or a delayed diagnosis. While the past decade's impetus to improve patient safety has focused on medication errors, health care-associated infections, and postsurgical complications, diagnostic errors have received comparatively less attention. Diagnostic errors will continue to play a major role in the patient safety and quality improvement movement because of their burden on care and their financial burden. Developing a patient-partnered diagnostic approach with self-reflection and awareness of cognitive biases is the key to minimizing the impact of diagnostic errors.

    Abstract Introduction: There is increasing evidence that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a role in the development of neuropathic pain, a common feature of peripheral neuropathy. Although clinical studies have shown that anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies are highly efficacious for migraine headache prophylaxis, their effects on nonheadache chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic pain, in humans are unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies for neuropathic pain in patients with coexisting chronic migraine.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of 14 patients with chronic migraine and peripheral neuropathy. All patients were treated with anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies. We collected data on patient-reported scores on the Neuropathy Pain Scale (NPS) and the frequency of migraine headache days (MHDs) per month. Data were collected 3 and 0 months before and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment with anti-CGRP medications.
    Results: With treatment of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies, patients reported a 41.7% decrease in NPS scores from 89.3 at baseline to 52.1 at 12 months posttreatment (P < .05). In addition, there was a 33.3% decrease in MHDs per month from 19.8 at baseline to 13.2 at 12 months posttreatment (P < .05).
    Discussion: Administration of anti-CGRP medications significantly improved neuropathic pain in patients who also had chronic migraine. To confirm these promising outcomes, it would be worthwhile to conduct a blinded, randomized study with a larger population of patients.

    Abstract Introduction/aim: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neuromuscular disease with marked clinical heterogeneity. This heterogeneity can be partly captured by clinical measures, such as the forced vital capacity (FVC) and ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R). We aimed to further characterize the performance of these clinical measures, including their independence and additivity, in predicting mortality.
    Methods: We leveraged the Pooled Resource Open-Access ALS Clinical Trials (PRO-ACT ALS) database, which includes data from 23 clinical trials (n = 2050). The primary exposures were baseline FVC and ALSFRS-R. The primary outcome was 1-y mortality. We performed correlation analyses, survival analyses and assessed classification performance using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.
    Results: FVC and ALSFRS-R were weakly correlated (r = 0.31, p < .001). A 1-SD increase in FVC (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-0.74) and ALSFRS-R (HR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.68-0.82) were associated with reduced risk of 1-y mortality. ROC analyses showed optimal predictive cutoffs at 80% for FVC (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.69) and 38 for ALSFRS-R (AUC: 0.67). After stratifying patients based on these cutoffs, we found a marked reduction (HR: 0.25; 95% CI: 0.19-0.33) in incident mortality for patients in the high FVC and high ALSFRS-R group relative to the low FVC and low ALSFRS-R group.
    Discussion: ALSFRS-R and FVC are comparable predictors of survival that are only weakly correlated. When considered together, they synergistically predict survival. As such, consideration of both measures should be a routine part of prognostication in care of patients with ALS.
