InCor-HCFMUSP realiza curso inovador sobre Interpretação de Eletrocardiografia

Com recursos de computação gráfica 3D é possível entender em pouco tempo os principais aspectos do ECG

O que antes demorava horas para ser compreendido, agora pode ser entendido em poucos minutos. Este é um dos diferenciais do 16º Curso Anual de Eletrocardiografia, que começou em abril e explora principalmente a correlação clínica com o ECG.

O curso possui duas modalidades: a presencial ocorrerá no auditório do Instituto do Coração do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (InCor-HCFMUSP). Concomitantemente, será oferecido o formato de educação interativa a distância, que tornará o estudo mais flexível, com certificação pela Escola de Educação Permanente (EEP) do HCFMUSP.

Por meio de um vídeo curto é possível compreender o que os livros explicam em vários capítulos: como o traçado do ECG se correlaciona com as manifestações eletrofisiológicas, com a sincronia da contração muscular e com a hemodinâmica cardíaca. As imagens tridimensionais fazem parte do Projeto Homem Virtual, desenvolvido pela Disciplina de Telemedicina da FMUSP.

A cooperação entre o InCor, a EEP e a Telemedicina da FMUSP inova o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, por meio de um modelo educacional que facilitará a compreensão dos assuntos e sua relação com os aspectos clínico-diagnósticos.

O curso do InCor, coordenado pelo cardiologista Carlos Alberto Pastore, Professor Doutor da FMUSP, terá 32 aulas e é voltado para médicos cardiologistas, clínicos gerais, da Saúde e da Família, residentes e estudantes de medicina. O livro de referência para estudo complementar é ABC do ECG, que tem como autor o coordenador do curso.

Outra característica inovadora é a formação de uma comunidade permanente de Tele-eletrocardiologia. Após aprovação no curso, o estudante poderá aderir a um programa de atualização continuada com acesso a reuniões clínicas, 2ª opinião formativa e vídeos clínicos aplicados.

As inscrições para o curso podem ser feitas no site www.ecghc.org.br

ImageJ (imagej.nih.gov/ij/) is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.4 or later virtual machine. Downloadable distributions areavailable for Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X and Linux.

It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and “raw”. It supports “stacks”, a series of images that share a single window. It is multithreaded, so time-consuming operations such as image file reading can be performed in parallel with other operations.

It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image processing functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median filtering.

It does geometric transformations such as scaling, rotation and flips. Image can be zoomed up to 32:1 and down to 1:32. All analysis and processing functions are available at any magnification factor. The program supports any number of windows (images) simultaneously, limited only by available memory.

Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional measurements in units such as millimeters. Density or gray scale calibration is also available.

ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ’s built in editor and Java compiler. User-written plugins make it possible to solve almost any image processing or analysis problem.

ImageJ is being developed on Mac OS X using its built in editor and Java compiler, plus the BBEdit editor and the Ant build tool. The source code is freely available. The author, Wayne Rasband (wayne@codon.nih.gov), is at the Research Services Branch, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

Building a Better Physician — The Case for the New MCAT

Robert M. Kaplan, Ph.D., Jason M. Satterfield, Ph.D., and Raynard S. Kington, M.D., Ph.D.

N Engl J Med 2012; 366:1265-1268April 5, 2012

The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), a prerequisite for admission to U.S. medical schools, currently consists of four sections: physical sciences, verbal reasoning, a writing sample, and biologic sciences. A 2004 Institute of Medicine report on “Improving Medical Education” and several years of evaluation identified a need to redesign the MCAT to better reflect physicians’ current challenges. Beginning in 2015, the test will include a section on behavioral and social sciences, and a section on critical analysis and reasoning will replace the writing sample. These revisions reflect the recognition that behavioral and social factors not only play major roles in health and illness, but also interact with biologic factors to influence health outcomes. Fundamental knowledge about behavioral and social sciences is critical to the effective practice of medicine.

The new subtest entitled “Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior” will measure that foundational knowledge with the use of stimulus paragraphs illustrating behavioral and social science constructs, followed by multiple-choice questions covering five content areas: ways in which people perceive and react to the world; factors that influence behavior and behavior change; factors that influence how we think about ourselves and others; ways in which culture and social differences influence well-being; and ways in which social stratification affects access to resources. The test will emphasize established theory and concepts as well as experimental and observational science. For example, the section on perception considers the integration of sensory processes through attention, cognition, memory, and language and the roles of stress and emotions in sensory processes. Clinical applications are reserved for medical school instruction, but students will be expected to have a sufficient foundation on which to build medical knowledge.
