Article Abstract

Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) augments physical examination and expedites diagnostic care and clinical decision-making. The use of POCUS in internal medicine (IM) appears inconsistent despite its commendable benefits. It is not fully incorporated into the IM residency core competency skills or academic curriculum. This narrative literature review explores the benefits of POCUS and evaluates the need for an IM-focused POCUS curriculum. The obstacles and a proposed curriculum are also described.

Embryo transfer (ET) is a valuable reproductive technology in pigs, albeit its efficiency remains significantly lower than that of natural mating or artificial insemination (AI), owing to high embryonic death rates. Critical for embryo survival and pregnancy success is the placenta, which supports conceptus development through nutrient exchange, hormone production, and immune modulation. Alterations in placental development and function may therefore underlie the reduced efficiency of ET.

Division of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Importance: Sepsis remains a leading cause of death in infectious cases. The heterogeneity of immune responses is a major challenge in the management and prognostication of patients with sepsis. Identifying distinct immune response subphenotypes using parsimonious classifiers may improve outcome prediction, particularly in resource-limited settings.
