Bridging the gap: Analysis of the long school of medicine SNMA pilot mentorship program.

Importance: Underrepresented in medicine (URiM) students face significant barriers in medical education, including limited access to mentorship and professional networks. Mentorship is a critical factor in improving academic outcomes, career satisfaction, and overall success, highlighting the need for targeted support programs that broaden access in medical training.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a longitudinal four-year faculty-student dyad mentorship program to provide mentorship for URiM students, focusing on enhancing academic integration, professional networking, and career development.

Association between Trust of Researchers and Willingness to Participate in Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker Research.

Introduction: The study examined the relationship between trust of researchers in research naïve participants, including those at higher risk, and interest in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) biomarker research participation.

Methods: A cohort of 399 community-dwelling older adults completed a survey about their trust of researchers and interest in participating in ADRD biomarker research.

Results: After controlling for sociodemographics and knowledge of ADRD, higher trust of researchers was associated with lower levels of hesitancy to participate in ADRD biomarker and neuroimaging studies ( < 0.

Integrated management of concurrent traumatic penetrating brain injury and electrical injury: illustrative case.

Background: Transorbital penetrating brain injury (PBI) accompanied by electrical injury is an extremely rare presentation. This type of traumatic injury has a unique set of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to the potential multiple organ system involvement and severe neurological complications.

Observations: A 50-year-old male experienced a high-impact injury from a welding spike that penetrated the orbit just above the eyeball with a concurrent electrical injury; the electricity exited through the great toe.
