Summary
The American Thoracic Society Pediatric Core Curriculum provides annual updates on pediatric pulmonary disease for clinicians. Online resources are available for continuing medical education and board certification maintenance.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Pediatrics
- Medical Education
Background:
- The American Thoracic Society Pediatric Core Curriculum is a key resource for updating clinicians.
- It covers pediatric pulmonary disease through a recurring 3-4 year cycle of topics.
- Annual updates are crucial for staying current in this specialized field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inform clinicians about the availability and accessibility of the latest Pediatric Core Curriculum.
- To highlight the 2019 course content and its presentation.
- To promote the online resources for professional development.
Main Methods:
- The curriculum is presented annually at the American Thoracic Society International Conference.
- Content is developed through a systematic review and update process.
- Online modules are created for continuing medical education and board certification.
Main Results:
- The 2019 Pediatric Core Curriculum was presented in May.
- An American Board of Pediatrics Maintenance of Certification module is available.
- Continuing medical education exercises based on the curriculum can be accessed online.
Conclusions:
- The American Thoracic Society Pediatric Core Curriculum offers valuable, up-to-date information.
- Clinicians can access educational materials online for professional growth.
- These resources support ongoing learning in pediatric pulmonary medicine.

SI Units: 2019 Redefinition
3.3K
Measurement is an indispensable part of analytical chemistry. The result of measurement helps quantify a substance's physical property and compare it with the physical property of another substance. Each measurement comprises two components - a number indicating the magnitude and a unit of measurement as a standard for comparison. Further, the same quantity can be measured using different units of measurement, which leads to differences in magnitude.

The Nucleosome Core Particle
14.1K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Thoracic Aorta
1.5K
The thoracic section of the aorta begins at the T5 vertebra and extends to the T12 level at the diaphragm, initially progressing through the mediastinum to the left of the spinal column. Throughout its course in the thoracic segment, the thoracic aorta emits various offshoots known collectively as visceral and parietal branches. The branches that predominantly supply blood to visceral organs are termed visceral branches and include bronchial, pericardial, esophageal, and mediastinal arteries,...

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum
5.7K
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12).
The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid...

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs
8.2K
Ribs are curved, flattened bones forming the thoracic cavity wall with the thoracic muscles. There are 12 pairs of thoracic ribs. The posterior ends of all the ribs articulate with the T1–T12 thoracic vertebrae. In contrast,the anterior ends of most ribs attach to the sternum via their costal cartilages.
Parts of a Typical Rib
A typical rib has a head, neck, and body. The posterior end of the rib is called the head, followed by a narrow neck. The head articulates primarily with the costal...
