Abstract Osteopathic medicine places a special emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, and understanding how chest wall structure may influence function is critical. Pectus excavatum is a common congenital chest wall defect in which the sternum is depressed posteriorly. Patients may present with complaints of chest wall discomfort, exercise intolerance, and tachycardia. The medical implications, diagnosis, and treatment options for patients with pectus excavatum are reviewed.

Abstract Context: With the coming single accreditation system for graduate medical education, medical educators may wonder whether knowledge in basic sciences is equivalent for osteopathic and allopathic medical students. Objective: To examine whether medical students’ basic science knowledge is the same among osteopathic and allopathic medical students. Methods: A dataset of the Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine-CA student records from the classes of 2013, 2014, and 2015 and the national cohort of National Board of Medical Examiners Comprehensive Basic Science Examination (NBME-CBSE) parameters for MD students were used. Models of the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination-USA (COMLEX-USA) Level 1 scores were fit using linear and logistic regression. The models included variables used in both osteopathic and allopathic medical professions to predict COMLEX-USA outcomes, such as Medical College Admission Test biology scores, preclinical grade point average, number of undergraduate science units, and scores on the NBME-CBSE. Regression statistics were studied to compare the effectiveness of models that included or excluded NBME-CBSE scores at predicting COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores. Variance inflation factor was used to investigate multicollinearity. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to show the effectiveness of NBME-CBSE scores at predicting COMLEX-USA Level 1 pass/fail outcomes. A t test at 99% level was used to compare mean NBME-CBSE scores with the national cohort. Results: A total of 390 student records were analyzed. Scores on the NBME-CBSE were found to be an effective predictor of COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores (P<.001). The pass/fail outcome on COMLEX-USA Level 1 was also well predicted by NBME-CBSE scores (P<.001). No significant difference was found in performance on the NBME-CBSE between osteopathic and allopathic medical students (P=.322). Conclusion: As an examination constructed to assess the basic science knowledge of allopathic medical students, the NBME-CBSE is effective at predicting performance on COMLEX-USA Level 1. In addition, osteopathic medical students performed the same as allopathic medical students on the NBME-CBSE. The results imply that the same basic science knowledge is expected for DO and MD students.
背景:随着即将到来的研究生医学教育单一认证制度,医学教育者可能会怀疑,对于整骨疗法和对抗疗法医学学生来说,基础科学知识是否等同。目的:了解骨科医学生与对抗疗法医学生的基础科学知识是否相同。方法:采用图罗大学骨病医学学院2013、2014、2015级学生记录数据集和美国国家医学检验委员会医学硕士学生综合基础科学考试(NBME-CBSE)参数全国队列数据。采用线性和逻辑回归对美国综合骨科医师执照考试(complex - usa) 1级分数模型进行拟合。这些模型包括骨科和对抗疗法医学专业中用于预测complex - usa结果的变量,如医学院入学考试生物学分数、临床前平均绩点、本科理科单元数和NBME-CBSE分数。研究回归统计来比较包括或不包括NBME-CBSE分数的模型在预测complex - usa一级分数方面的有效性。方差膨胀因子用于多重共线性分析。使用受试者工作特征曲线来显示NBME-CBSE评分在预测complex - usa 1级合格/不合格结果方面的有效性。采用99%水平的t检验比较NBME-CBSE平均分与全国队列的比较。结果:共分析学生档案390份。NBME-CBSE评分被发现是complex - usa一级评分的有效预测因子(P< 0.001)。NBME-CBSE评分也能很好地预测complex - usa Level 1的及格/不及格结果(P< 0.001)。骨科和对抗疗法医学生在NBME-CBSE上的表现无显著差异(P=.322)。结论:NBME-CBSE作为一种评估对抗疗法医学生基础科学知识的测验,能有效预测其在complex - usa Level 1中的表现。此外,整骨疗法医学生在NBME-CBSE上的表现与对抗疗法医学生相同。研究结果表明,博士生和博士生需要具备相同的基础科学知识。
