Data Tracking

Background:Educating trainees during cardiology fellowship is a process in constant evolution, with program directors regularly adapting to increasing demands and regulations as they strive to prepare graduates for practice in today’s healthcare environment.Methods and Results:In a 10-year follow-up to a previous manuscript regarding fellowship education, we reviewed the literature regarding the most topical issues facing training programs in 2010, describing our approach at The Ohio State University.Conclusion:In the midst of challenges posed by the increasing complexity of training requirements and documentation, work hour restrictions, and the new definitions of quality and safety, we propose methods of curricula revision and collaboration that may serve as an example to other medical centers.

Objective Improvement

Cardiac MR (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement is commonly used to detect cardiac damage in the setting of cardiac sarcoidosis. The addition of T2 mapping to CMR was recently shown to enhance cardiac sarcoidosis detection and correlates with increased cardiac arrhythmia risk. This study was conducted to determine if CMR T2 abnormalities and related arrhythmias are reversible following immune suppression therapy. A retrospective study of subjects with cardiac sarcoidosis with abnormal T2 signal on baseline CMR and a follow-up CMR study at least 4 months later was conducted at The Ohio State University from 2011 to 2015. Immune suppression treated participants had a significant reduction in peak myocardial T2 value (70.0±5.5 vs 59.2±6.1 ms, pretreatment vs post-treatment; p=0.017), and 83% of immune suppression treated subjects had objective improvement in cardiac arrhythmias. Two subjects who had received inadequate immune suppression treatment experienced progression of cardiac sarcoidosis. This report indicates that abnormal CMR T2 signal represents an acute inflammatory manifestation of cardiac sarcoidosis that is potentially reversible with adequate immune suppression therapy.

Prior Experiences

This commentary tries to address how we can foster diversity and inclusion among peers and potential peers in Japanese-language education based on my experience with providing pedagogical linguistics training to graduate students at The Ohio State University. Pedagogical linguistics training aims to instill future Japanese-language instructors with the knowledge of how the Japanese language works and to foster their ability to incorporate such knowledge into teaching. I would like to propose that pedagogical linguistics training can be a powerful tool to help individual teachers achieve their potential regardless of their prior experiences and backgrounds. I will discuss 1) the importance of pedagogical linguistics training and how it empowers future Japanese-language; and 2) issues in pedagogical linguistics training.

iTTP survivors experience high rates of adverse health sequelae and increased mortality over long-term follow up. We conducted this multi-center cohort study to evaluate long-term mortality and causes of death in iTTP survivors. Between 2003 and 2020, 222 patients were enrolled in the Ohio State University and Johns Hopkins TTP registries and followed for a median of 4.5 (interquartile range [IQR],75 0.4-11.5) years. Nine patients died during their first iTTP episode and 29 patients died during follow-up. Mortality rate was 1.8 times higher than expected from an age, sex and race adjusted reference population. Cardiovascular disease was a leading primary cause of death (27.6%) tied with relapsed iTTP (27.6%), followed by malignancy (20.7%), infection (13.8%), and other causes (10.3%). Male sex [HR 3.74 (95% CI 1.65-8.48, P=0.002), increasing age [HR 1.04 (95% CI 1.01-1.07), P=0.011] and number of iTTP episodes [HR 1.10 (95% CI 1.01-1.20), P=0.022] were associated with mortality in a model adjusted for African American race [HR 0.70 (95% CI 0.30-1.65), P=0.702], hypertension [HR 0.47 (95% CI 0.20-1.08), P=0.076], CKD [HR 1.46 (95% CI 0.65-3.30, P=0.358] and site [HR 1.46 (95% CI 0.64-3.30), P=0.358]. There was a trend towards shorter survival in patients with lower ADAMTS13 activity during remission (P=0.078). In conclusion, iTTP survivors are at higher risk of death compared with a reference population and cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death. Our study highlights the need for survivorship care, and investigation focused on cardiovascular disease and early mortality in TTP survivors.

Purpose:  There is a dearth of information about the uptake of genetic testing after telegenetic (videoconference) counselling for hereditary cancer, which has been previously reported as a limitation of this service delivery model.  Methods:  We performed a review of the triage list for patients referred to The Ohio State University (OSU) from two community cancer centres for telegenetic counselling appointments from April 1, 2014 to May 31, 2016.  Results:  A total of 179 patients were referred for telegenetic counselling, and of   these 62.6% (112/179) completed a 30-60 minute telegenetic counselling appointment.   Of those counselled, 82.1% (92/112) completed genetic testing,    12.0% (11/92) of whom were found to have a pathogenic mutation.  Of those with mutations, 45.5% (5/11) returned for a follow-up telegenetic counselling session to review results in more detail.  In addition, 18.5% (17/92) of patients tested had at least one variant of uncertain significance (VUS). Conclusions:  The presence of a nurse/nurse practitioner with the patient at the remote site during the telegenetic counselling session may have facilitated higher completion rates for genetic testing compared to previous reports in the literature, and appropriateness of genetic testing in this method of providing genetic counselling is reflected in the rates of results identifying deleterious mutations and variants of uncertain significance.

Field Notes

This article examines factors that influence transformative learning experiences of international graduate students from Africa. In general, 84.8% of the participants experienced transformative learning while 15.2% reported no transformative experiences. For those who experienced transformative learning, 26.1% of the transformative experiences were associated with education, 28.3% by non-education, and 30.4% were by both education and non-education. Follow-up interviews were conducted from 12 participants who were randomly selected to ensure representations across gender, age group, country of origin, and program of study. They identified classroom activities, faculty support, and learning a new language as the educational transformative learning, and factors related to new life experiences, as non-educational. Field notes and reflection journals were utilized to triangulate data to support these methods. Data analysis and results of the study indicate that participants experienced transformative learning through both educational and non-educational related activities.

Knowledge Building Communities

Using grounded theory methodology, this study explored the development and implementation of Cultures and Languages across the Curriculum initiative in a residential college at Michigan State University. With a focus on international graduate students, our investigation led us to knowledge building communities and to patterns of behavior that we have conceptualized as socialization reciprocity. We note two key characteristics of the knowledge-building communities created within the Cultures and Languages across the Curriculum program are agency and intentionality, and these can only be realized by starting from the premise that the contributions of all participants are essential to the community. We argue this is in contrast to the not uncommon assumption that the cultural, linguistic, and pedagogical knowledge of international graduate students is somehow deficient.
